3DS eShop

This past week we found out about Mercenaries Saga 3, which lands on the Japanese 3DS eShop next week. Unsurprisingly, Circle Entertainment is localizing the game, and we might be seeing it very soon. The English version is almost ready to be submitted to Nintendo in both North America and Europe.

Aside from Mercenaries Saga 3, other Circle-published games are on the way. Mr. Pumpkin Adventure (Wii U) and Fairune 2 (3DS) should be out next month as well as ASH (3DS) for Europe.

Several 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.

Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure missed its original summer release window, but the game is still coming soon. Very soon, in fact. Mastiff announced today that Gurumin 3D is heading to North America on October 13. Those who purchase it through October 31 will receive the “Gurumin Party Time Theme” at no extra cost.

For those in Europe, there’s no need to worry. Gurumin 3D is still planned for PAL regions, and a date “will be revealed soon.”

Image & Form appears to be pleased with SteamWorld Heist thus far. Not only has the game been received well, but it’s selling quite alright, too. Image & Form CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson told Nintendo Life that “SteamWorld Heist has done quite a bit better for us than SteamWorld Dig”.

When asked about SteamWorld Heist’s sales performance on 3DS, Sigurgeirsson said:

A few days ago, My Nintendo Picross – The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was extended in Europe in Japan. The same has now been done in North America as well.

My Nintendo Picross – The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess can be redeemed “until further notice.” In other words, there’s no end date anymore – previously it was October 1. You can pick it up for 1,000 Platinum Points.
