Adventure Bar Labyrinth heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop | 2 Comments
Adventure Bar Labyrinth previously hit PlayStation Mobile back in 2013. Now the game is coming to 3DS, as confirmed by Rideon’s Kenichi Sonoda. A release is planned for spring in Japan.
Adventure Bar Labyrinth is a spin-off of Adventure Bar Story. The RPG has players taking on the quest of recovering a legendary secret treasure from a huge, underground labyrinth. Using items, battling monsters, and leveling up are key elements of the experience. It seems that the game was originally a free-to-play title (basic play is free, pay for items), but it remains to be seen if the 3DS version will adopt a similar model.
Circle Entertainment previously brought Adventure Bar Story overseas. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them pick up this one as well!

Her Story dev has some interest in a Wii U version, cost and time are hurdles
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 10 Comments
Her Story developer Sam Barlow has some interest in releasing his critically-acclaimed game on Wii U. However, he would need to overcome a few hurdles in order to make that happen.
Barlow responded with the following when Nintendo News asked if he’s ever thought about bringing Her Story to a Nintendo platform:
“No… I mean I’d love to, but I’m guessing that the content isn’t a perfect match. Though, the keyboard interface would actually work on a Wii U.”
