Just wanted to make sure you all were aware that Karaoke Joysound is definitely coming to North America. It was originally announced through a press release provided by Nintendo, and was reconfirmed today through an ESRB listing. Konami will publish the title before the end of March.

Karaoke Joysound originally came out in Japan in late 2008. It was later re-released through the Wii Shop Channel. Based on Nintendo’s PR, it seems that Konami is preparing the retail version for North American consumers.

A new game is up on the App Store, and it’s drawing a lot of comparisons to Super Mario Bros – for understandable reasons.

In Super Jump World, players take on the role of a leprechaun and “jump’n’run” through four levels. Each level has a different theme, though they all look quite similar to what you can find in Super Mario Bros. There are eight enemies, leaderboards, and even achievements.

The creator’s description of the game is as follows:

“Help the main character Lep to jump and run through the beautiful worlds of Super Jump World. Be careful! There are many angry monsters. They want to stop Lep in each world. If you collect a cloverleaf little Lep grows up to a bigger one. But you are not secure with big Lep. An angry bee could hit him and he gets back to little Lep. An easy and smooth control makes it very funny and to jump or run.”

The author also says that Super Jump World is “inspired by a 2D classic game.” I’m sure anyone would be able to guess which title he’s referring to!

You can find out more about Super Jump World here. It’s free for now, as it should be. You have to wonder if/when Nintendo will take action against it…

Nintendo of Europe will be putting out two videos on the Nintendo Video service this week:

Circus 3D

“Circus 3D is a series of clips which will transport you into a world of a real life circus and put you the viewer in the heart of the action wherever you may be. Take in a birds-eye view of an acrobat on parallel bars or feel like you are with the artists on stage through innovative points of views. Watch an aerial performance from the floor or the point of view from inside a cage with tigers. Circus 3D will offer you an exhilarating experience which immerses you into circus life as if you were actually there, all in 3D and in the palm of your hand.”

3D Machine

“…the story of a brilliant inventor who finally makes a breakthrough creating a wondrous invention only to leave it in the hands of his incapable assistant leading to wealth and love, but inevitably ending in a catastrophe.”
