Update: The patch now has a specific date in Europe:



Circle Entertainment tweeted out two pieces of news this week. One concerns a new game, while the other is about an already-released title.

First, Puzzle Labyrinth is heading to 3DS. We should be getting it in North America and Europe early next month.

Here’s the tweet:

Circle Entertainment also confirmed that an update for The Legend of Dark Witch 2 is in the works, which will address some bugs.

That tweet is as follows:

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 peak at the gallery below.

Atlus has published an official statement about the removal of Citizens of Earth from the 3DS eShop. It notes that “unforeseen circumstances” caused this to happen, and the company is working with Nintendo to bring it back.

The full message states:


In spite of Atlus citing “unforeseen circumstances”, we all know that the homebrew vulnerability was involved. In any case, at least we know Citizens of Earth will be back on the eShop eventually!

There’s quite a bit going on with Nintendo Badge Arcade in Europe. All play packs have been discounted by 50 percent and there are two free plays being handed out.

Here’s the news straight from Nintendo:

Citizens of Earth is no longer available on the 3DS eShop, and if you’ve been keeping up with recent news, you probably know why. A homebrew vulnerability was discovered within the game just a few days ago. Nintendo was expected to follow up on that, and they certainly have.

It’s unclear if/when Citizens of Earth will reappear. The exploit will definitely need to be addressed before it returns. The situation is a bit awkward, as Citizens of Earth was just included in the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle. Redeeming codes from the bundle do still seem to work (currently), so you only can’t purchase the game directly from the eShop.

Thanks to biki4 for the tip.

Lightwood Games is planning on bringing Epic Word Search Collection 2 to the 3DS eShop on May 26. Regions aren’t specified, so we’ll assume this applies to both North America and Europe for the time being.

View a trailer for Epic Word Search Collection 2 below. We also have an overview after the break.

Retro Sumus has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of funding Xenocider, an on-rails 3D shooter which takes inspiration from the likes of Galaxy Force and Sin & Punishment. If successful, the project will be made for a number of platforms such as 3DS.

Xenocider needs $92,000 to reach its goal. With four weeks remaining, a little over $16,000 has been raised thus far. A Wii U stretch goal also awaits at $170,000.

Take a look at Xenocider’s pitch video below. You can visit the Kickstarter page here.
