Atlus has published an official statement about the removal of Citizens of Earth from the 3DS eShop. It notes that “unforeseen circumstances” caused this to happen, and the company is working with Nintendo to bring it back.

The full message states:

In spite of Atlus citing “unforeseen circumstances”, we all know that the homebrew vulnerability was involved. In any case, at least we know Citizens of Earth will be back on the eShop eventually!

Citizens of Earth is no longer available on the 3DS eShop, and if you’ve been keeping up with recent news, you probably know why. A homebrew vulnerability was discovered within the game just a few days ago. Nintendo was expected to follow up on that, and they certainly have.

It’s unclear if/when Citizens of Earth will reappear. The exploit will definitely need to be addressed before it returns. The situation is a bit awkward, as Citizens of Earth was just included in the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle. Redeeming codes from the bundle do still seem to work (currently), so you only can’t purchase the game directly from the eShop.

Thanks to biki4 for the tip.

Retro Sumus has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of funding Xenocider, an on-rails 3D shooter which takes inspiration from the likes of Galaxy Force and Sin & Punishment. If successful, the project will be made for a number of platforms such as 3DS.

Xenocider needs $92,000 to reach its goal. With four weeks remaining, a little over $16,000 has been raised thus far. A Wii U stretch goal also awaits at $170,000.

Take a look at Xenocider’s pitch video below. You can visit the Kickstarter page here.

Today’s update on Battle of Elemental REBOOST covers rival characters and Survival Mode.

Regarding the new characters, four of them are the alter egos of the game’s previously announced playable characters. The lineup includes Sils (Celcius’ alter ego), Renzasilt (Fahrenheit’s alter ego), Mal (Mole’s alter ego), and Io (Biot’s alter ego). We’re yet to see the fifth, though it seems to unlock after meeting certain requirements.

We also have the first word on the new Survival Mode. Players win through fights as their favorite character to achieve a high score. The mode features a “Record” screen to view wins and losses, along with key configuration to change the controls to your liking.
