SteamWorld Dig dev on moving from mobile platforms to the 3DS eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
SteamWorld Dig is Image & Form’s first 3DS title. Prior to this, the studio had been developing for iOS and Android.
Even though these platform may have larger install bases, Image & Form CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson noted in an interview with Gamer’s Thumb that they’re more crowded, and may have users who are not as dedicated to gaming – leading to prices that “have fallen through the floor.”
Once Image & Form started to consider the situation, the company felt that the 3DS would be a good fit for their titles. With an increasing install base and gamer-centric focus, Nintendo’s portable system was a top choice for SteamWorld Dig – a game that “fits the unit like a glove.”

Indie developer Barnstorm Games just launched its Kickstarter for “Pro Pinball: Timeshock!” yesterday. The campaign has already raised over £17,000 of the £40,000 goal.
The campaign doesn’t have any Wii U or 3DS stretch goals at present (that could change in the future), but Barnstorm has interest in bringing Pro Pinball to both platforms “eventually”.
You can support Pro Pinball: Timeshock! on Kickstarter here. Barnstorm intends to include realistic tables, worldwide leaderboards, and more.

Like Nintendo’s own website database, take these listings with a grain of salt. They’re often accurate, but there have been a few cases in which they’ve been incorrect.

G-Style bringing Jump Trials Supreme to the 3DS eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Last year, G-Style released the DSiWare title “Jump Trials” (there was also 10 Second Run developed by G-Style and published by Gamebridge, which played similarly). The studio is now working on a follow-up for the 3DS eShop titled “Jump Trials Supreme”.
Game director Shingo Miyazaki said of the new game:
“The inspiration for this third version is ‘evolution.’ We wanted to build on what works in the previous two games and evolve each point to give the players a new experience.”
“The previous games on DSiWare were very well received and we had lots of requests from players to make a new version.”
Along with online rankings, Jump Trials Supreme will offer special DLC:
“We’re planning to include a theme pack based on our zombie shooting game Undead Storm (published in America and Europe by Gamebridge). The pack will change the player character, block graphics, backgrounds, UI and sounds. There will also be exclusive stages for the challenge mode.”
Jump Trials Supreme will be out in Japan in November. Expect an overseas release sometime in the future.
