Inchworm Animation came out in North America on April 25, 2011. Even though it’s taken Flat Black Films an entire year to complete Nintendo of Europe’s review process, the title will finally be launching next week. Inchworm Animation will be available in Europe on April 26 for £7.20 / 800 points.

You can find the official announcement below.

For the past year it has been one of the most popular DSiWare titles in USA. Finally on April 26, Inchworm Animation makes its long-awaited European appearance on Europe’s Nintendo DSiWare™ service for 800 Nintendo DSi Points™.

It’s not a game, and it’s not for kids, though artists of all ages will enjoy digging into the creative toolbox unlocked by Inchworm Animation. The much anticipated animation software comes from Bob Sabiston’s Flat Black Films, the studio behind the innovative animated films “Waking Life” and “A Scanner Darkly”.


A slew of new trademarks have made it out in Japan. There’s “Voice Forum” and “Step Forum” from Nintendo. And Puyo Puyo Narabe from SEGA. Namco Bandai grabbed a few names, too, such as Universe Accel and Cosmic Drive.

The question is, will any of these filings turn out to be actual products?

Today’s 3DS eShop update includes a new shelf for Kirby. Hidden in the section is an entry for Kirby’s Block Ball, complete with a page listing, trailer, and screenshots. The eShop says that the title is “Coming to the Nintendo eShop”, so I assume we’ll be seeing it on the store sometime within the next few weeks. It’ll cost $2.99 when it launches in North America.

The OFLC has outed two new Virtual Console titles for the 3DS.

First up is the classic Game Boy title, Castlevania: The Adventure. It’s already available on the Japanese eShop, so it makes sense that the game will be heading to other territories. Master of Darkness has also been rated by the OFLC and should be available as a Game Gear VC download in the near future.
