Somewhat unexpectedly, a demo for Pocket Card Jockey has appeared on the North American 3DS eShop (requires 89.25MB of free space / 714 blocks). We knew that Europe would be receiving the download, but there hadn’t been any news for folks residing in the states. An official announcement will likely be made with tomorrow’s Nintendo Download press release.

For those who haven’t heard of Pocket Card Jockey previously, read up on the following description:

3, 2, 1… Go! Stack cards like it’s a race to the finish. And it is! In this fast-paced mash-up of solitaire and horse racing, you’ll jockey your way to victory by clearing cards to energize your horse. You can even level up your noble steed through strategic positioning on the track. Can you master solitaire and horseback racing… at the same time?!

After you get a dozen races under your belt, you can retire your horse – a sad moment for any jockey. However! You can relocate your horse to your very own farm and pair them with other retired horses to breed new ponies… that are completely adorable! Eventually these babies will pony up by maturing into horses that you can ride in competitions for prizes. You can then get items at Chirp’s shop, such as puzzle pieces or temporary bonuses. After completing certain puzzles, your hose will even gain more stats when leveling up. That’s some next-level jockeying!

Pocket Card Jockey has a general May release window in North America. It’s set for May 5 in Europe.

Double Fine and Abstraction Games are working together to bring 140 to new platforms, including Wii U and 3DS.

The “challenging minimalistic platformer” originally debuted in 2013. In the game, players will need “rhythmic awareness to overcome obstacles which are controlled by an energetic, yet melancholic electronic soundtrack.”

140 is planned for a summer release on Nintendo platforms. Take a look at a trailer below.

Next Thursday, Circle Entertainment will be bringing ASH to the North American 3DS eShop, priced at $3.99. It’s a new turn-based RPG “featuring a massive, fully-realized world with lush visuals, and a wonderfully compelling story.”

We’ve attached a video below, in addition to a brief overview.

These are strange days for Aghaus. By order of the Magistrate, the Royal Guard is to assemble for deployment in two days’ time. It has been years since I last left the capital, and further still that I can remember such a command being issued! But what need is there for a Royal Guard, when no King sits upon the throne? Though my oath binds me to his service, the Magistrate is not my liege. He rules in the absence of a rightful heir.

Nintendo has put up a new video to show off several games heading to the Wii U and 3DS eShops starting this spring (along with a few retail titles like Monster Hunter Generations and Corpse Party). Tumblestone and Axiom Verge are the focus, but a sizzle reel at the end shows off a bunch of additional titles.

Here’s the full video, which is hosted by Nintendo’s Damon Baker:

I believe there are a couple of new things here. First, Tumblestone is coming to New 3DS in addition to Wii U. There are also some details about how Axiom Verge will use the GamePad. Oh, and EctoPlaza is coming to Wii U.

Jupiter has yet another Picross game in the works, and it’ll be out in Japan very soon. Picross e7 is set to be released in Japan on April 27 for 500 yen.

20×15-sized puzzles are included in the game. Jupiter is packing in 150 Picross panels, along with Mega Picross and Micross puzzles. Special panels will be available to those who have save data from the previous entries on 3DS. In total, there will be more than 300 puzzles in Picross e7.

Picross e7 makes it possible to mark parts of the panel to end up with the solution. You won’t be penalized for putting them on the board, though they’ll have to be removed before you can finish the puzzle.

Check out a trailer for Picross e7 below.
