SmileBoom looking into SmileBASIC release for Europe
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 5 Comments
SmileBASIC launched in Japan last year, and in North America last week. Europe is one major region that does not yet have the application though.
There’s good news and bad news. Developer SmileBoom is looking into the possibility of bringing SmileBASIC to Europe, but there’s nothing concrete just yet.
The company wrote on the official website for the 3DS download:
“As soon as we announced the release date of SmileBASIC we are getting lots of e-mails asking the release in European regions. We are considering the European release aggressively and will make an announcement once we made a decision.”

Infune says Mighty No. 9 won’t be delayed again, sequel will happen if it’s successful
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U | 28 Comments
During a lecture at the Unreal Fest 2015 Yokohama Event, Keiji Inafune spoke a bit about Mighty No. 9. Japanese website Inside-Games relayed some of what was shared.
Inafune promised that Mighty No. 9 won’t suffer another delay. One of the big reasons why it was pushed back is because of the high number of platforms involved.
Inafune wouldn’t say that Mighty No. 9 is a complete success, as the game hasn’t been released yet. He feels that it needs to sell a lot of copies and many users playing it. Assuming Mighty No. 9 is successful though, there will be a sequel

Nintendo will once again be participating in the IndieCade festival this year. At the event later this week, fans can try out a number of titles from independent developers.
Here’s the full lineup:
Runbow from 13AM Games: Runbow is a Wii U-exclusive action game for up to nine players. Platforms and obstacles appear and disappear as the background color changes, so players have to think fast, stay alive and make it to victory in Run mode, or take on co-operative challenges in Adventure mode. The full version of Runbow is now available in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U with more modes, more costumes and way more chaos!
FAST Racing Neo from Shin’en: FAST Racing Neo throws players into a futuristic racer with hyper-fast anti-gravity vehicles. Up to four players can race against one another in split-screen local multiplayer mode, with up to eight racers able to participate in online multiplayer mode. FAST Racing Neo will launch exclusively in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U before the end of the year.
Hive Jump from Graphite Lab: Hive Jump is a fast-paced multiplayer action platformer for up to four players. Players engage in run ’n’ gun combat with swarms of aliens, all the while avoiding traps and collecting resources. The game will feature amiibo support when it launches in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U in early 2016.Shovel Knight from Yacht Club Games: Visitors to the Nintendo booth can play the new “Plague of Shadows” DLC for hit game Shovel Knight, featuring a new playable character, new relics, new systems, new boss battles, level tweaks and a new story to adventure through. The retail versions of Shovel Knight for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U hit store shelves on Nov. 3.

Tumblestone launches in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U in summer 2016.
Along with the playable titles above, attendees can meet and chat with the independent developers from select games, including Hive Jump, Shovel Knight, Tumblestone and Shantae Half-Genie Hero.
