This coming week, Power Disc Slam will be available in North America. The eShop says it’ll be out on August 18 for $7.49.

In Europe, Power Disc Slam launched on July 28.

Here’s an overview from the eShop listing:

Power Disc Slam is no simple throw-about in the park with your dog – it’s an intense arcade sports game pitting you against the best. Choose your favourite character and take to the court to show off your skills. Learn how to slide, spin and trick your opponents.

Watch out for Cooper’s fearsome power, Mariana’s speed, Henrik’s long reach and Adeline’s trickery! Be alert, as each surface plays differently and the scoring layouts change. Practise your skills in Free Play, then go up against the challenge of the Arcade mode.

Try to win all of the cups, see how many opponents you can beat in Survival mode, or compete for the best score in 48 minigame levels across six different games. When you’re ready, challenge your friends with Local Play, or connect to the internet* and play matches against players from around the world.

Can you become a Power Disc Slam master?

PixelMaker, an eShop app that allows users to easily design images and share them on Miiverse, is now making its way to 3DS. This will be the first title on the portable from developer Nostatic Software.

The studio recently announced via Twitter:

PixelMaker previously landed on Wii U in May. It’s currently running on the New 3DS, but Nostatic hopes to have it available on the original 3DS as well.

Back in 2009, Vicarious Visions and Activision’s multiplayer party title Mixed Messages was brought to DSiWare. It was sort of like Pictionary, with the steps essentially taking place as follows:

1. One person draws a sentence
2. The system is passed to another player, who attempts to draw what the sentence was about
3. The system is passed on again, and another player needs to guess what they believe the original phrase was

This process continues until you run out of players – of which 21 were supported.

Here’s an old trailer:

We’re now hearing that Mixed Messages is returning after more than seven years. The specifics are a bit unclear currently, but we do know that it will be a 3DS eShop game. If we hear anything more about it (such as when it’s coming), we’ll let you know.

Last month, we shared some excerpts from a Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice developer interview included in a recent issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream. If you missed it, head on over here for tidbits about Maya’s return, scrapped ideas, and more.

What we translated didn’t actually cover Nintendo Dream’s entire discussion. There were also several pages dedicated entirely to talk about the different characters in the game, ranging from big ones like Phoenix and Apollo up through new additions such as Ahlbi. We now have an extremely lengthy summary based on the interview with Motohide Eshiro (producer), Takeshi Yamazaki (director), and Takuro Fuse (co-director).

If you decide to proceed, be aware that there are some light spoilers. The summary covers characters included in multiple cases.

Page 1: Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Athena Cykes
Page 2: Maya Fey
Page 3: Rayfa Padma Khura’in (bonus: early concept art)
Page 4: Nahyuta Sahdmadhi (bonus: early concept art)
Page 5: Case 1 characters
Page 6: Case 2 characters
Page 7: Case 3 characters

Mastiff and Falcom’s action-adventure game Gurumin has been highly regarded over the years. The two sides are now teaming up once more to bring Nintendo fans the experience. Later this summer, Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure will be hitting the 3DS eShop.
