3DS eShop

Family Fishing is heading to the North American 3DS eShop on November 19, Aksys Games and Arc System Works have announced.

Here’s an overview of the title:

Fish like a Boss! – Traverse exotic locales in search of the wily boss fish! Build up your Special Attack gauge bar to turn the tide of battle and make tricky catches with ease! Aim for the big boss with high bounty points or catch them all to win!

Blow ‘em Away! – Each fish has assigned points. Will you slowly collect points by catching smaller and more common fish? Or will you risk it all on that rare catch of a lifetime? Throw smoke bombs to disrupt your opponents and seize the advantage!

Upgrade Your Gear! – Collect points and upgrade your fishing rods and lures to go fin to fin with the toughest fish around! The big boss fish won’t rollover without a fight. Gear up to make sure he goes down!

A European release date for Family Fishing hasn’t been determined yet, but it likely won’t be too far behind the North American launch.

Photos with Mario has long been out on the North American and Japanese 3DS eShops. However, that wasn’t the case in Europe. Finally though, Photos with Mario can be downloaded on the European eShop.

You’ll need unique eShop cards to truly take advantage of Photos with Mario. Currently, it seems that Mario, Luigi, and Bowser cards are only being sold at Sainsbury in the UK. You can keep track of this PDF file for updates regarding retailers going forward. As for other European regions, check out this page, select your territory, and search for Photos with Mario to access the hub page which has a PDF link to stores selling cards.

Lightwood Games, known for their word puzzle mini-games, have just announced another title coming to a Nintendo system. In addition to Word Party, which is coming to Wii U next week, Word Puzzles by POWGI will be released on Nintendo 3DS later this year. The interesting part is that the game will have full amiibo support – i.e. every single amiibo will be supported. Scan an amiibo with your New 3DS or with the amiibo scanner for the older models and the game will generate a word puzzle based on that amiibo.

Read the full press release below:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 2nd November, 2015

Stoke-on-Trent, UK – Lightwood Games is excited to announce their next title on the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS. “Word Puzzles by POWGI” is expected later this year.

Word Puzzles by POWGI contains six different pen-and-paper style word puzzles which are solved using the stylus and intuitive touch-screen controls.

Featuring hundreds of expertly hand-crafted word puzzles, and with a firm focus on the content, it’s a no-fluff puzzle variety pack that’s ready to play whenever you are.

As well as solving the included puzzle content, players can unlock special, custom content by touching an amiibo. Each figure generates a unique personalised puzzle containing its nickname.

The puzzles included are:
• Word Maze – Like a wiggly word search! Find the words and solve the maze!
• Mixups – A fiendishly difficult anagram puzzle with three words all jumbled together!
• One Word – The word search puzzle where there’s only one word to find!
• Flowers – Plant pairs of letters around the flower to grow six words with a common middle!
• Circles – Three overlapping circles hide three connected words. Find the missing letter to unscramble them all!
• Crossovers – Crossword puzzles with only one letter missing, which come together to solve a clue!

Word Games are Lightwood’s speciality. It is the developer behind Word Party, a series of competitive word puzzle mini-games, for Wii U, set for release in November. The firm has also worked on a number of other titles in collaboration with POWGI, and several mobile apps.

POWGI – Puzzle On Word Games, Inc – is a puzzle content publisher based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
