3DS eShop

Parascientific Escape: Gear Detective is now confirmed for release on the North American 3DS eShop this week. Circle Entertainment will publish the game on Thursday for $5.

Here’s an overview:

“Parascientific Escape: Gear Detective is a sequel to Parascientific Escape: Cruise in the Distant Seas, where the player is required to find clues and solve puzzles to escape certain situations using PSI abilities.

The story follows Detective Kyosuke Ayana, who has the ability named chronokinesis which allows him to look back in time in a limited field of view, for up till 5 days back. Detective Ayana is hired to find a serial killer threatening the quiet neighborhood of Camellia Hills – but soon finds himself in much bigger trouble as he investigates the crime scenes.”

And a trailer:

About 25 minutes of footage from the Wii U version of Plantera is now available to watch on YouTube. You can check it out below.

In the past, the US eShop hasn’t allowed for the use of non-American credit and debit cards. It looks like that just changed recently, however. These payment options are now fully compatible.

We should note that only the 3DS has been tested so far. There really wouldn’t be much of a reason for the restriction to still be in place on Wii U though. If we hear anything otherwise, we’ll be sure to let you know.
