3DS eShop

BoxBoy! One More Box debuted on the Japanese 3DS eShop just a couple of hours ago. View 14 minutes of footage from the download below.

Nintendo and HAL Laboratory have revealed a sequel to the 3DS eShop hit BoxBoy!, which is actually out in Japan right now. The game is BoxBoy: Mou Hito Hako (roughly BoxBoy! One More Box).

Here’s the official trailer:

In the second game of the BoxBoy! series, players once again control Qbby, who can unleash boxes just like in the first entry. You’ll need to head to the goal while passing through obstacles. Qbby is powered up in this title, as he can now dish out two boxes at a time. Nintendo says that the stages are also undauntedly powered up, and await Qbby with new gimmicks.

Medals collected in the different levels provide costumes, musics, and comics. Those with save data from the first BoxBoy! can also use costumes from that game.

BoxBoy: Mou Hito Hako is available now via the Japanese eShop for 680 yen. 712 blocks of free space on an SD card are required for the download.

The Minotaur isn’t the only new indie game coming from Ratalaika Games. At some point in the future, the indie developer will also have Alien Dinosaurs on the Wii U and 3DS eShops, plus other platforms.

Alien Dinosaur is an arcade shooter in which players will take on enemies in different chambers, trying to escape from it. Ratalaika says that the following features are planned:

– Unique retro style action: Thanks to our artist and the simple mechanics, makes out game in something different, retro but fresh and with quick action.

– Story: Due to long hours spent watching low budget cinema and our madness, we have decided to create an unexpected story

– Develop your character: As you progress in the game you can change your character, so every time you play, it will be stronger and it could fight better against the T-rex

– Survival mode: Show who is boss and send all those enemies back to their graves. Survive as long as you can, kill everything you can and become a legend.

– Weapon arsenal: The player has a huge variety of weapons. From basic weapons like a gun or a shotgun to a mop or a fork, even laser weapons, there always should be a laser weapon on every house.

A release date for Alien Dinosaurs hasn’t been announced. While you wait for the game, view a trailer below.
