This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

Nintendo eShop
Balloon Pop® Remix – Balloon Pop Remix takes the classic Balloon Pop® formula and turns it on its head. Use the stylus to draw lines on the puzzle board and all the balloons in the line’s path will pop, leading to mesmerizing chain reactions. (For Nintendo 3DS™ / Nintendo 3DS™ XL)

Virtual Console™
Prince of Persia® – Survive perilous levels, rescue the princess from the evil Jaffar and claim the royal residence before the hourglass is empty. Beware of obstacles such as unpredictable floors and ceilings, hidden spikes and walls of flames. (For Wii™)


XSEED still feels that localizing Retro Game Challenge 2 would be essentially impossible for the company.

Accordin to XSEED’s Jimmy Soga:

“Unfortunately with the number that Retro Game Challenge did, it’s close to impossible to justify bringing the sequel over.”

There are issues that go deeper than just sales of the first game. While that is certainly a factor, XSEED says that the company could face problems with licensing since Namco Bandai owns the IP rights for the game while Fuji TV owns the rights for the TV series.

So even though it would be less of a risk to release Retro Game Challenge 2 on something like the eShop, this probably won’t be happening.

Soga noted:

“It’s true we really don’t have to worry about inventory if we bring it over to 3DS eShop. But it is a bit of a tricky title since the rights belong not only to Namco Bandai for the game, but also to Fuji TV for basing it off the television series.”
