Circle Entertainment has come out with a video for Parascientific Escape: Cruise in the Distant Seas, which is due out on the 3DS eShop early next month. Check it out below.

And here’s an overview of the game:

“Hitomi Akeneno is a 16 year old high school student with a little secret – she has not one, but two psychic powers. After receiving an invitation, she boards a luxury cruise ship with her friend, Chisono Shio. As soon as she enters a suite room, a loud explosion sounds…and she finds herself stuck, unable to get out. Is this an accident? Or something far more sinister…? The only way to find out is to escape, with the help of her powers.”

Nnooo bringing The Legend of Kusakarai overseas

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 4 Comments

Today, Nnooo announced plans to localize The Legend of Kusakarai for western markets. Librage originally released the game in Japan last May.

For those who haven’t heard of The Legend of Kusakarai, here’s an overview:

You know what’s the worst thing ever? Fighting slimes and dragons knee deep in grass and weeds.
Well if Kusakari has anything to do with it it wont be that way for long. Get your scythe sharpened and jump in to this quirky Japanese adventure puzzle game. Slice through over 50 levels of grass filled action and help those heroes save the kingdom, in battle grounds fit to have a picnic on!
The Scythe:
Rush from blade to blade and then getting hacking! As you slice away at grass your Scythe will become sharper and start to level up. The higher the level the bigger are you can cut using your special ability. Watch out tho’ Kusakari gets pretty ill if he’s not cutting that grass so make sure you eat up those odd blue bits of grass for a health boost (I’m sure there is nothing odd about eating glowing blue grass right!?) then rush off to the next patch!

And the original Japanese trailer:

A western release date for The Legend of Kusakarai has not yet been confirmed.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments

Quest of Dungeons from Upfall Studios, previously made available for PC, Mac, Linux, and Xbox One, is now making its way to Nintendo platforms. The dungeon crawling roguelike is planned for both Wii U and 3DS.

In Quest of Dungeons, players can choose from four character classes. The goal is to go through randomly generated dungeons, obtain loot, and boost abilities.

Here’s the lowdown from the game’s Steam page:

By playing as either a Warrior, a Wizard, a Assassin or a Shaman you have to traverse dungeons, defeat enemies and loot everything you can in order to survive. You can learn new skills in Tomes you find along the way and buy/sell items at shops.
The entire game is procedural so you won’t find items/enemies in the same place each time you play.
Features
– Procedural dungeons
– Procedural weapons
– Boss encounters
– Quests
– 3 Difficulty levels
– Permadeath – Once you die, game over man, game over!
– Shop – buy and sell items/weapons
– Leaderboards – compare your Adventure points with the community

Quest of Dungeons does not currently have a release date on Nintendo systems. You can see a trailer below.
