Nintendo's Weirdest 3DS Game May Finally Be Back From The Dead
11.10.2023 - 23:03 / screenrant.com / Nintendo
Trademark registrations filed at the end of September 2023 suggest the upcoming return of. An eccentric, Mii-centric social simulator originally released for the 3DS, is a truly unique game in its genre. However, despite its success, remained stagnant on the 3DS for its entire lifespan. There's never been word of a follow-up or port, but new information suggests that could be subject to change.
