3DS eShop

If you’re interested in learning more about Flipnote Studio 3D, you may want to check out the official European website. It’s jam-packed with information and screenshots.

Nintendo has also reconfirmed that Flipnote Studio 3D will be hitting the European 3DS eShop on August 1. The application is due out sometime next month in North America as well.


Last year, Spicysoft released a new platform action title on the Japanese 3DS eShop known as “Chariso DX”. This was originally a project developed for smartphones in Japan – stemming from the popular “Chariso” series, which has surpassed 20 million downloads in total.

Spicysoft has now confirmed to us that Chariso DX will be making its way to the North American and European 3DS eShops as “Bike Rider DX”.

Here’s a useful overview that the company passed along:

The player travels many stages set in several places around the world, dodging obstacles, collecting coins and trying to reach the goal. There is also a bunch of hidden bonus stages and an endless mode where a random endless stage is created, and the player can test his skills and race for a highscore.

The gameplay in the localized version will not differ from the original, so you should get a pretty good impression of what the game is like – a platform action game with really simple controls but challenging stages, fun to play and easy to understand for basically everyone.

Localization for Bike Rider DX is more or less finished. A release is planned for the summer, and you’ll probably be seeing it “sooner than later”. Spicysoft also promises that the game “won’t be too expensive.”

Picross e launched on the Japanese 3DS eShop in 2011. It then came out in Europe a little over a year later. In North America, the game finally saw release last month.

What took Picross e so long to make it to the US? Developer Jupiter recently said that it all came down to certain “legal proceedings”. For the latest Picross title, Picross e, the company says, “There will not be difference in the release timing in North America with Europe.”
