3DS eShop

With the arrival of the Shovel Knight amiibo, the game itself has received an update. Version 2.2 is out now in North America on both Wii U and 3DS. It’s not yet available in Europe, but Yacht Club Games says it “should be rolling out to systems within the next week.”


Shovel Knight’s 2.2 patch also encompasses the 2.1 update, which adds amiibo support. Europe has had access to 2.1 since December while North America has been at 2.0 until today. You can find the notes for the two latest updates after the break.

Next week, Kemco and Hit-Point will be bringing Seisen Chronicle to the Japanese 3DS eShop. A couple of videos for the game are posted below.


Protect Me Knight 2 was confirmed for the west last February. It’s been nearly a year since then, though not much has been said regarding localization since then.

There is some good news to report though. Protect Me Knight 2 remains on track for the west, and a recent screenshot from Ancient even shows the game running in English. Hopefully it’s a sign that we’ll be seeing the game in North America and Europe soon.

Adventure Bar Labyrinth previously hit PlayStation Mobile back in 2013. Now the game is coming to 3DS, as confirmed by Rideon’s Kenichi Sonoda. A release is planned for spring in Japan.

Adventure Bar Labyrinth is a spin-off of Adventure Bar Story. The RPG has players taking on the quest of recovering a legendary secret treasure from a huge, underground labyrinth. Using items, battling monsters, and leveling up are key elements of the experience. It seems that the game was originally a free-to-play title (basic play is free, pay for items), but it remains to be seen if the 3DS version will adopt a similar model.

Circle Entertainment previously brought Adventure Bar Story overseas. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them pick up this one as well!
