Defend your castle and honor in Abylight’s new Tower Defense game

Barcelona, Spain – November 15th, 2010

Abylight an independent premier video game publisher and developer, today announced the upcoming release of Dairojo! Samurai Defenders – a new tower defense game developed exclusively by Japanese developer Kawamoto Industrial. Developed exclusively for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service. Dairojo! Samurai Defenders will launch exclusively on Nintendo DSiWare in North America this winter.

“We are excited to announce that Dairojo! Samurai Defenders will be available soon on Nintendo DSiWare in North America”, said Nacho Garcia, General Manager at Abylight, “With its epic setting, multiple game play modes, quick learning curve and increasing difficulty it will offer strategy fans a fantastic portable experience”.


This information comes from Reggie Fils-Aime…

“As a consumer, I have experience with every Nintendo platform and, I think every accessory, including the Superscope, with the exception of the Virtual Boy… so it’s difficult for me to articulate a point of view back to our parent company [in Japan] why we absolutely have to have a Virtual Boy store.”

I think it would be interesting to have Virtual Boy titles on the 3DS, but it wouldn’t bother me too much if it never happened. I’d much rather see Game Boy Advance titles pop up on the handheld!

Really, I wouldn’t put much stock into this listing right now. It’s always best not to trust retailers until a company makes an official confirmation. That isn’t to say it won’t happen, but right now I’m doubtful.

Action-Puzzler for Nintendo DS Combines Classic Characters and Creative Challenges

REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 15, 2010 – Everybody knows the holiday season can get hectic, but starting this week, Nintendo is offering a new kind of mayhem that families can actually look forward to. Mario vs. Donkey Kong™: Mini-Land Mayhem! is now available exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ family of hand-held video game systems, placing two of the world’s most beloved video game characters at the center of a frantic action-puzzle adventure with a Mini Mario twist. Anyone who has a video game fan on his or her gift list knows that Mario™ and Donkey Kong™ always mean great fun.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! transports players to Mario’s new theme park, Mini-Land, where the lovely Pauline has been kidnapped by Donkey Kong. To rescue her, players must guide pint-sized Mini Marios through more than 200 levels, each filled with obstacles and traps set by Donkey Kong himself. Using simple stylus controls, players can place girders to cross pits, build conveyor belts, set springs or strategically place warp pipes to make their way to the next level. The new Mini Pauline joins the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series’ roster of familiar toys (including Mini Mario, Mini Toad™, Mini Princess and Mini Donkey Kong).


One step closer to the launch of the 3DS! Now, I’m not sure if My Garden will simply be called “Gardens” in Germany, but we’ll have to wait and see!
