3DS eShop

Ratalaika Games has pushed out a new update for Blasting Agent: Ultimate Edition. It should be out now on both Wii U and 3DS in North America, with Europe to follow on April 20.

This will be the final patch on Wii U. Explaining the decision, Ratalaika said:

“After some deep thought we’ve decided to move on from it, the effort it required to adjust a game to it with the needed quality wasn’t matching what we were getting back from it these days. This has been a hard choice for us due to it was the first console we worked on, but we wanted to move to other adventures on Nintendo…”

Here’s a rundown as to what’s included with the update:

Urban Trial Freestyle 2 previously launched in Europe at the end of March. This coming week, North America is also getting the game. A listing on the eShop has it down for April 20 with a $6.99 price point.

If you’re interested in Urban Trial Freestyle 2, keep an eye on our Twitter page. We may have a few codes to hand out very soon…

Update: Added in Sunday’s updates.


Nintendo Badge Arcade has been receiving daily updates since heading to the 3DS eShop. Because it’s continually updated with content, we’re rounding up all of the additions and changes in a weekly post.

Here’s what’s on tap for the week of April 10:

April 10

– 13 Kirby panels
– 8 Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam panels
– 6 Mario Party panels
– 3 Fire Emblem panels
– Thank-you badges until April 20
– 1 free play

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe was a surprise release on the 3DS eShop this week. Nintendo made the title known during its Nintendo Direct a couple of days ago, and brought it out right after the presentation.

An update for Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is already available. Let me know if you’ve heard of these patch notes before: “Adjustments have been made to make for a better gaming experience.”

Even though Nintendo isn’t being upfront about the update on its website, the company’s Japanese Twitter page gives us a better idea. There were issues buying Gem Apples, though that should be fixed with today’s update.

A few new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.

It seems the New 3DS eShop will be graced with another strange exclusive – featuring a character based on the legendary musician Alice Cooper, no less.

Releasing today, Scoop’n Birds is a New Nintendo 3DS exclusive which tasks the player with – you guessed it – scooping birds. Players will run a pet store and scoop birds to sell them to would-be bird owners. Due to being created in Unity, it’s locked to the New Nintendo 3DS as the original 3DS unfortunately lacks Unity support. Players will work under the owner of the store, Alice Scooper. Clearly meant to evoke Alice Cooper with his appearance and name of the character, developer TwinSky Games has a bizarre story behind the inclusion of the musical legend.

In an email to Polygon, Tim Winsky of TwinSky Games said this about the inclusion of Alice Cooper:

“I had previously met Alice Cooper (or Vince, as he’s known IRL) when visiting my artist’s church,” he said. “Later, when agonizing over the character that should own the bird store and guide the player, the character Alice Scooper came to me. When we approached him about this, he fortunately thought it was funny, so it’s been smooth sailing.”

It seems the best things in life really don’t make any sense. You can find the release trailer for Scoop’n Bird below, and can check out the full article from Polygon here.
