System: 3DS (eShop)
Release date: September 8, 2016
Developer: Capcom
Publisher Capcom

I won’t dance around saying that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is kind of a mess, albeit a lovable one. If you think too hard about the overall plot, setting aside a few genuinely good and surprising twists, it’s full of laughably bad inconsistencies and weak writing choices. However, if you shut that part of your brain off – the one that checks for internal consistency – and focus on the moment-to-moment mystery plot and absurdity of what unfolds in these courtrooms, then it’s a much better experience. In other words, Spirit of Justice is yet another Ace Attorney game made in the absence of series creator Shu Takumi.

Digger Dan DX was pulled from the 3DS eShop back in July. First Star Software, who owns the Boulder Dash rights, asked Nintendo to remove Four Horses’ game. The two companies were thankfully able to settle all issues, and Digger Dan DX will now be returning to the eShop today.

Those who already own Digger Dan DX will find new content awaiting them. 25 new caves with gems and traps are included, and can be accessed for free.

Four Horses is also holding the following competition:

“To celebrate the re-launch, Four Horses have decided to hold a competition for the first player to get 125 gold stars in the game. The prize is a cheque for £250 (or similar value in your local currency) and the competition is open worldwide to anyone who has bought the game. Existing players do have a head start, but the new Bonus levels are tough enough to give new players a chance to catch up. For full details of the competition, check the Four Horses website http://www.fourhorses.co.uk”

Another game is joining the North American New 3DS Virtual Console very soon. As of tomorrow, Konami’s Super Castlevania IV will be available, Nintendo’s website confirms.

Super Castlevania IV’s official description is as follows:

“In the peaceful country of Transylvania, there is a legend of an evil castle and its master, the Prince of Darkness, Dracula. Once every hundred years, the powers of good mysteriously weaken, and evil attempts to resurrect Dracula. It’s up to the Belmont clan to take up the eternal fight against the vampire. Players take on the role of Simon Belmont, armed with the legendary whip, Vampire Killer, to defeat Dracula and his evil minions. Luckily, Simon has many additional weapons at his disposal, including axes, holy water, crosses, knives and even a magical stopwatch that can stop the flow of time for a spell. Simon must travel through 11 stages, beginning in the countryside, to reach Dracula’s Castle, all the while overcoming perilous traps and hideous monsters. Only the power of the Belmonts can quell the looming darkness.”

Super Castlevania IV will be priced at $7.99.
