3DS eShop

Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.

With most games, we’re used to seeing eShop releases on Thursdays. But The Battle Cats POP! will apparently be one of the exceptions, as Nintendo has it listed for launch in North America on June 27.

We’ve been waiting quite awhile for The Battle Cats POP!, which debuted in Japan last year. We have an English trailer and an overview below.

Rampage across the globe with weird ‘n wild Cats in an exciting but straight-forward tower defense adventure!

Collect 100s of fightin’ Cats to power up your army, take down bizarre and hilarious enemies and win glorious treasure!

? Super Simple Battle System

  • Just tap on the Cat you want to join the fight! Oh, and maybe fire the Cat Cannon once or twice. Take down the enemy base before the baddies can destroy yours!

?Super Simple Levelling System

  • Use the XP you get from clearing stages to train your Cats! Once they hit level 10, it’s time to EVOLVE!

?Super Simple Fun!

  • Collect treasure sets to create powerful items and boost your powers!
  • Go to the Capsule Machine to collect rare and exotic Cats(?)!!
  • Battle your friends with the 3DS-exclusive Versus mode to unlock even more cool rewards!

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice debuted in Japan last week. During its first few days on the market, the game sold nearly 200,000 copies. Media Create now has more information about its performance.

Sales for Spirit of Justice fell about 20 percent when stacked up to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies’ first week. In July 2013, that game sold 250,000 units.

Media Create does note that pre-orders were roughly the same for the two titles. Spirit of Justice had 129,000 pre-orders while Dual Destinies’ reservations were at 121,000.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice started out by focusing on core fans of the series who pre-ordered the game, and the floating buyers are considered to be reduced. Considering proactive measures from multimedia expansion have been pushed such as a TV anime currently airing, Media Create says that the results can be hardly said to be sufficient.

Another small note by the way: the Lime x Black and Pink x White New 3DS XL colors sold 10,000 units. It contributed to the gaming market and helped raise overall hardware numbers a bit.
