Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 2012 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Worldwide on Nintendo 3DS revision. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Worldwide. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Game card / digital. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04
