Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
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.

Battle of Elemental REBOOST introduces rival characters, Survival Mode
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Today’s update on Battle of Elemental REBOOST covers rival characters and Survival Mode.
Regarding the new characters, four of them are the alter egos of the game’s previously announced playable characters. The lineup includes Sils (Celcius’ alter ego), Renzasilt (Fahrenheit’s alter ego), Mal (Mole’s alter ego), and Io (Biot’s alter ego). We’re yet to see the fifth, though it seems to unlock after meeting certain requirements.
We also have the first word on the new Survival Mode. Players win through fights as their favorite character to achieve a high score. The mode features a “Record” screen to view wins and losses, along with key configuration to change the controls to your liking.

We have two pieces of news from Circle Entertainment. One concerns an already-released game while the other is about an upcoming title.
First, Circle mentioned on Twitter a few hours ago that a patch for Ash is coming soon. This will address some small issues with the game.

The homebrew community has found that Citizens of Earth has a homebrew vulnerability on 3DS.
Something similar happened just recently. It was discovered that a homebrew exploit exists within VVVVVV, prompting its removal from the 3DS eShop. Citizens of Earth may end up with a similar fate.

Update: Available now! – Exclusive Bravely Second theme to be added as a My Nintendo reward in Europe
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News | 6 Comments
Update: The theme is now available and trying to redeem points for it no longer produces an error.
A new reward is about to be added for users of My Nintendo in Europe: a Bravely Second Nintendo 3DS home menu theme titled “New Faces”. The theme costs 100 Platinum Points – quite a bit cheaper than the Mario and Donkey Kong 3DS home menu themes, which cost 200 Platinum Points.
However, it seems like the reward may have been added to the rewards catalogue prematurely – you can only reach it via the notifications tab in the top right; it doesn’t actually show up in the regular rewards tab at the moment. Trying to redeem your Platinum Points for the Bravely Second theme produces an error at the moment. The theme will apparently be available until June 30th, so it likely won’t be too long until it can be properly redeemed.
