Also, For the Boxing Ring, if you select the stage while holding down the L Button, you can play on the Smash Bros. version of the stage. If you hold down the Y Button, you can choose to play on the Punch Out! version. These variations are usually selected at random, but this method lets you select them manually.

It’s been a short while since our last “Circle Entertainment spotlight”, but the company has been kind enough to share with us a first look at The Legend of Dark Witch.

The Legend of Dark Witch is a 2D action-platformer. In the game, Syega Crystals gave their powers to the people of the world, but somebody has stolen them all. This causes the world to plunge into darkness. As the dark witch Zizou, you must retrieve the missing crystals.

Zizou will be able to learn new attacks by defeating bosses. She can collect “Tres” in battle, which can be used to upgrade abilities. Players can expect “diverse levels that provide a fair challenge”, bonuses when replaying the game, and three difficulty modes.

The Legend of Dark Witch is tentatively slated for an October 16 launch on the North American 3DS eShop. You’ll find the game’s first screenshots below.
