Not only are quite a few 3DS downloadable titles making their way to this side of the world, the Game Boy Color Mario Tennis is making it's debut. Heck, Square Enix is even giving us two great RPGs in Final Fantasy VI and Secret of Mana! That and one of my personal favorite games of 2012, Rhythm Thief, is also getting a digital release!

Video Content

To kick things off, there are some new videos for the upcoming 3DS release Toriko Gourmet-ga Battle. The title, which is based on the Toriko anime series in Japan, is a 2.5D action adventure game that has you playing as characters from the series in an attempt to find and eat delicious food. It’s kind of wacky, but that’s apparently consistent with this anime and manga. There was a short commercial and a second, nearly five minute long preview video available. The game looks great, sporting 3D characters in a side scrolling 3D world. Honestly, I have never seen or read anything from Toriko, but the game actually looks like it could be enjoyable. On top of gameplay videos for all of the Virtual Console and downloadable titles from this week there are also two preview videos for Level-5’s Yōkai Watch and a video montage of entries into a Game & Wario contest to draw a mantis as quickly as possible.

Today, a Pikmin 3 Direct was also released featuring Shigeru Miyamoto and Hitoshi Matsumoto. You can check out the video in its entirety below.

digimon!? WHY!!!? :Q

Why not? Just because you don't like the franchise doesn't mean they shouldn't make games for it.
