3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 marks the end of SEGA’s second wave of 3D Classics. Could we eventually see additional games be given the same treatment though?

For now, SEGA is saying that there are “no plans for additional SEGA 3D Classics”. But producer Producer Yosuke Okunari did tell Nintendo World Report that the company is monitoring the sales performance of the other games. He also expressed interest in working with the New 3DS.

Below are Okunari’s full comments:

If the uptake for New 3DS is very strong, I would really like to give it a shot, yes. We currently have no plans for additional SEGA 3D Classics, though. But we are keeping a close eye on how they are doing in the marketplace.

Arc System Works announced three new games for the North American 3DS eShop at the Anime Expo. Radiohammer, Family Fishing, and Slice It! are all coming to the system.

Details and screenshots for each of these titles are now available. We’ve compiled it all below.

Radiohammer

Radiohammer is a rhythm action game developed by Arc System Works and Vinyl Lab. Play as the world’s most famous super DJs and protect the world peace with the power of love and music!

– Drop the Beat on the Bad Guys! – Take down villains and fend off flashers with groovy tunes and masterful mixes. Make the world a safer, funkier place with your superior sonic skills.
– Super DJs – Four playable characters! Pop music maven July Ann, 2D fighter Celica, station maestro MC Wein and Radiohammer alum Lita round out the awesome cast.
– Music Makes You Lose Control – Go crazy with a mad mix of game modes! Learn the musical motivations of your favorite DJ via ‘Story Mode’. ‘Track Play Mode’ puts the spot light on your skills as you shuck and jive through a myriad of missions!

Family Fishing

Family Fishing is a frenetic, competitive fishing game developed by Arc System Works. Go fishing with your virtual family and battle against them to catch the ultimate rare fish!

– The Big Catch – Players compete against each other to score the most points before the end of each round. Build up your Special Attack gauge bar to turn the tide of battle and make easier catches! Aim for the big fish 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! It’s a fishing game where your strategy is put to the test!
– Build Your Collection! – Collect points and upgrade your fishing rods and lures to catch bigger and rarer fish!

Slice It!

Slice It! is a puzzle game that requires players to slice a number of different shapes into same-sized smaller shapes. Slice It! is developed by Arc System Works and COM2US.

– Shape-ception – The goal of Slice It! is to draw straight lines through a shape to make smaller identical shapes within a limited number of tries. Don’t worry if you make a mistake, you’ll be able to undo it.
– Hint System – The Hint System comes in handy for those extra challenging stages. Stuck and have no clue? Fear not! Hint points are obtainable when you perfectly complete a stage, so stack up those points and use them for more challenging stages as you slice your way to glory.
– Variety is the Slice of Life! – Over hundreds of different stages to slice through! Special themes, music and other unlockables keep you coming back for more. Japanese styled theme will be available as an original bonus for the Nintendo 3DS version!
