REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– No place is safe from BearShark. Not water. Not land. And now BearShark is even invading the third dimension. Starting Feb. 8, Nintendo is partnering with CollegeHumor.com to bring an original 3D animated program to Nintendo Video for the Nintendo 3DS system. BearShark is an animated series that follows a bear and shark tag-team as they cause hilarious mayhem over land and sea in their continued pursuit of a poor sap named Steve.

On Feb. 8, the first episode of BearShark will premiere on Nintendo Video for Nintendo 3DS. Subsequent episodes will premiere exclusively on Nintendo Video on a regular basis. BearShark marks the continuing partnership between Nintendo and CollegeHumor.com, which previously brought the wildly popular and ongoing Dinosaur Office series to Nintendo Video.


When Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity releases for Nintendo 3DS on March 24, it will include a bevy of exciting features. Starting on launch day, downloadable content will be available for purchase on a regular basis in the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS. The downloadable content includes new Mystery Dungeons to explore, new items to collect and new Pokémon to interact with. As a special treat for fans, the first piece of downloadable content, the Poké Forest Mystery Dungeon, will be free to download from launch day until April 30. Three additional downloadable Mystery Dungeons will be available to purchase when the game launches, and additional content will launch regularly throughout April.

In addition to the single-player dungeon exploration of Hero Mode, the game includes local multiplayer for up to four players in Companion Mode. By connecting wirelessly, players can work together to explore new Mystery Dungeons and collect experience and items that carry over to Hero Mode. Players can also help out other players by tagging them using the StreetPass feature and reviving their fallen Pokémon using Reviver Seeds.

Today also marks the launch of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity website, where Pokémon fans can see more Pokémon they’ll meet in the game, learn more about Companion Mode and other game features, and view a new video full of dungeon sneak peeks.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate is a 3DS exclusive. Perhaps that could change in the future, but this is where things stand at the moment.

Producer David Cox opened up on the decision to make Mirror of Fate while speaking with Pocket Gamer. It all came down to the 3DS’ implementation of 3D:

“The Vita could have run the game no problem, and we did seriously consider it as a [target] platform. But when we saw the game on 3DS and how it looked with the 3D, it made us realise we could never replicate that on another system.”

“I’m not knocking the Vita, but if we were to develop a game on that console, we would really focus on the Vita’s core strengths. The Vita game would be very different from a version for 3DS.”

We’re in year three of Activision’s Skylanders franchise. The publisher has released two different entries since 2011, starting with Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. Swap Force, the latest title, is due out later this year.

There’s no question that Skylanders has been a mammoth money-maker for Activision. So it should come as no surprise that the company hopes to see its series last for 10 to 20 years.

Vice President of Skylanders business Joshua Taub told Joystiq:

“We have goals of making this a 10 to 20 year franchise that becomes a staple for kids.”

Ah yes, LovePlus: The game that so many people want to come to the west, but no one seems to want to admit it! Well, I don’t think there’s much hope in that regard, but at least Japanese audiences will be getting their dating-sim appetites whetted well into the future if teases from New LovePlus producer Akira Uchida and LovePlus artist Mino Taro are to be believed.

The two of them put up a teaser site with an image that apparently says they’re bringing two new heroines “to life” in early spring. No word on who those heroines are, what the game is about, or if it even is a game, but chances are we’ll be seeing a new entry in their fabled handheld series sooner than expected. We’ll keep you posted.
