Update: Not yet – Rex Rocket also confirmed for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Update: A separate staffer from Castle Pixel has informed us that the 3DS confirmation “was a mistake.” However, the system is still being considered for Rex Rocket. It’s “definitely still on our list of platforms we want to hit,” according to Castle Pixel’s Robert Maher. Maher added that depending on how Rex Rocket performs on Wii U, the team is “going to push” for a 3DS version as well.
Castle Pixel confirmed Rex Rocket for the Wii U eShop last month after revealing its status as an official Wii U developer. Prior to this, we had also heard talk of a 3DS version, but there hadn’t been any mention of the platform in recent weeks.
But no need to worry – Rex Rocket is also set for the 3DS. Castle Pixel shared the news with us, stating that a release is planned sometime in the future (alongside Wii U).
Castle Pixel’s first goal is to release Rex Rocket on PC via Steam Greenlight. The studio is hoping to secure some votes from fans – you can visit the official Greenlight page here.

Capcom still working on bringing more Mega Man games to the 3DS VC
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
Previously-announced Mega Man titles for the 3DS Virtual Console aren’t out as of now. We’re talking about the Game Boy releases Mega Man II, III, IV, and V, as well as Mega Man Xtreme 1 and 2 for Game Boy Color.
You can rest assured knowing that Capcom is working on things. While the company doesn’t have any dates to announce, Capcom’s Brett Elston hopes to have games ready to go by the end of this year.
Elston wrote on the Capcom-Unity boards:
Still no concrete date set. There’s still a fair amount of coordination that has to happen among NOA/CUSA/Capcom Japan/Nintendo Japan, plus slotting in games when Thursday is the only day, per week, when VC games hit Wii U / 3DS. I would love to get them out this year—and am pushing for that—but it’s a bigger task than me simply setting a date.
But yeah, they’re definitely still coming (+ Xtreme and Xtreme 2).
Zen Studios’ pinball releases on 3DS will likely always come later, but company is committed to the platform
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Star Wars Pinball is finally coming out on the 3DS this week. Its arrival is several months later, with the console versions launching months ago.
Speaking with BeefJack, Zen Studios’ Mel Kirk explained that the wait was longer on 3DS due to the complex nature of creating pinball titles in 3D. The 3DS also has its limitations “that makes the process take even longer.”
However, Kirk noted that Zen Studios is “certainly committed to the platform and 3DS players. It just takes a little longer to get things to the platform.”
“Pinball in 3D is pretty complex, and we have certain limitations with the 3DS hardware that makes the process take even longer. I am afraid we will likely always be behind with 3DS, but we are certainly committed to the platform and 3DS players. It just takes a little longer to get things to the platform.”
“I would like to say thank you to all the players who support Zen Studios. We can continue doing what we love only because players are willing to support us. Apologies for the time it has taken to get Star Wars Pinball to the 3DS, but we could not rush this and give you a sub-par experience.” – See more at: http://beefjack.com/news/zen-studios-could-not-rush-star-wars-pinball-3d-complex-process-behind-dlc-delays/#sthash.sIiUAMym.dpuf

Cardboard Robot Games’ Kickstarter fighter, Pocket Rumble, could come to 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
Cardboard Robot Games’ new fighter, Pocket Rumble, has a chance of coming to the 3DS.
The project’s Kickstarter campaign recently added a stretch goal for the portable. But even if it isn’t reached, Cardboard Robot Games hopes to bring Pocket Rumble to the 3DS following the PC/Mac/Linux release. Full patch support is promised, and the 3DS version could support online multiplayer as well.
You can find Cardboard Robot Games’ message concerning the 3DS version below. Visit the official Kickstarter page here.
The campaign will need some generous funds to reach its $16,000 goal. Just four days remain, and a little over $5,000 has been raised thus far.
Black Forest Games bringing all future games to Wii U, interested in Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams developer Black Forest Games intends to fully support Wii U going forward. All of the company’s future games will be brought to the console, and simultaneous releases are planned – meaning there won’t be any sort of delay for Wii U versions.
Black Forest Games is also interested in the 3DS. In fact, according to managing director Adrian Goersch, the studio is interested in bringing Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams to the handheld.
Goersch told Nintendo Life:
“We are planning to bring every game we develop to the Wii U as well, and we are planning for simultaneous releases. So no delay for Nintendo fans. 3DS is something we would like to do for Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams one day.”
Conatus Creative interested in Wii U, 3DS versions of River City Ransom: Underground
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
River City Ransom: Underground has a shot of landing on both the Wii U and 3DS. Conatus Creative expressed quite a bit of interest in both systems when we recently approached the studio.
When asked about a potential release on Nintendo’s platforms, founder Daniel Crenna told us:
Our original game plan was: focus on funding on Windows, forget about stretch goals until we’re there, then talk about more platforms. But, all good plans…
We decided PS4 based on information we had at the time and what’s possible for us technically, but we want people to know that we want this on every platform, especially consoles like WiiU and handhelds like 3DS. So, whether we do it in a stretch goal (and we may not reach our first based on our current trajectory) or we do it funded by sales of our Windows release, the platform story doesn’t end with this Kickstarter.
As long as we ship a great game, and have strong numbers and a good relationship with our licensor, then we will have all the incentive we need to keep working on this game on as many platforms as possible, including River City Ransom’s original home on Nintendo.
Conatus Creative launched its Kickstarter last week in order to fund River City Ransom: Underground. Over $67,500 CAD has been raised thus far with three weeks left to go. The campaign’s target is set at $180,000.
