System: Nintendo 3DS
Release Date: August 1st, 2013 (NA) – August 15th, 2013 (EU)
Developer: Spicysoft
Publisher: Spicysoft

As far as gameplay goes, Bike Rider DX is quite simple. You control a stick figure riding a bike on 2D plane while jumping onto platforms and over gaps and obstacles,. The bike rides automatically, so the only real control is pressing the A button to jump. You can also double-jump, as indicated by one of the loading screen tooltips (of which there are only two, due to the simplicity of this game), and even triple-jump if timed correctly, although I found this out completely by accident. Optionally, you can use left and right on the directional pad to adjust your bike’s position on the screen, which is helpful for this game as it is for the most part about timing jumps from platform to platform. You complete each course by reaching the finish pole, and you fail courses by falling into pits or crashing into walls or obstacles.
One-button gameplay might work in a game with more depth, involvement, or variety– like Kirby Air Ride, which had several different gameplay modes, objectives, maps, etc– but in a game where you are simply jumping over holes on 2D maps where the only real variance is the aesthetics, it just comes off as monotonous and repetitive.

Square Enix has opened the official Bravely Default: For the Sequel site open. You can find it here. First screenshots are attached above.
One piece of encouraging news: the site confirms multiple languages. Japanese, English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German are all supported. When it comes to voice acting, the game can be played in English or Japanese. This gives off a strong indication that North America and Europe will be receiving For the Sequel as Bravely Default’s localization – not the original game that released in Japan last year. That’d be fantastic if true!

Kamiya would be interested in making Bayonetta, Okami spin-offs for 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
With The Wonderful 101’s development complete, director Hideki Kamiya will soon move on to a new project. Perhaps it’ll be a Bayonetta game for 3DS.
Speaking with Siliconera, Kamiya expressed interest in creating a title based on Jeanne:
“Given the chance, I’d like to make a game based on Jeanne from Bayonetta. Something that’s not as big in scale. Something that’s portable, that you could play in quick sessions, where she’s a history teacher and the kind of fun things that could come out of a scenario like that.”
Another 3DS game Kamiya would be open to? An Okami spin-off for 3DS.
“If I could get away with it, I’d also like to come up with a spin-off of Okami, less focused on the grand idea of saving the world, but [rather] something focused on the smaller world of the fairy Issun.”
