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!

Nintendo’s rhythm game/music creation tool Band Brothers P might have bombed big time at retail, but it seems that they’re still trying to push sales and increase the player base with this new version of the title. The cheaper ‘Debut’ edition has the same rhythm gameplay as the original, but certain features like the music composer are unavailable, while others like the recording feature are locked behind a paywall. Better pony up fifteen of the game’s virtual currency, tomatoes (around eight US dollars), if you want to make your own creepy Vocaloid character.

Previously this version was only available via a download code from those who already owned the full version, but as of today it’s up on the eShop for everyone (in Japan, at least). At 200 yen it’s not quite free to play, but it comes with an extra set of five songs that weren’t included with the retail version: Dragon Night, Senbonzakura, Mondai Girl, 360 degrees and SHINING LINE. Like the original game, any extra songs need to be bought with tomatoes, but you can play with others online even if you don’t own the same songs.

Natsume sent out new information about Gotcha Racing today, and we have a handful of additional screenshots as well.

Here’s the lowdown from the company:

First debuted at E3 2015, Gotcha Racing is top-down racing game with a twist: parts you use to make your car are dispensed by Capsule Machines! As players progress and gain access to better Capsule Machines, your car will become the envy of the racing world! Using both screens means plenty of track visibility, and seeing your personalized car front and center makes for an exciting perspective not typically seen in other racing games.

Each car is comprised of three parts – body, wheels, and engine – and will boost the car’s stats: Acceleration, Speed, Braking, Cornering, and Drift. How racers build their cars is entirely up to them: high acceleration, low top speed, with good cornering? High top speed with maxed-out drifting? Customize the car that you want to drive, then put it to the test on tracks that have twists, turns, and plenty of other cars looking to score the top spot! Then use your winnings to draw more capsules and combine new parts. Each part has a maximum number of times it can be successfully combined, so drivers will need to prioritize which stats they want to boost the most!

Once you have perfected your car, race on 12 different tracks, compete in Grand Prix races, and conquer six different racing grades while trying your luck with numerous capsule machines to unlock! Use StreetPass to race against other players and receive even more parts, or tap into Play Coins for special parts not available anywhere else.

Gotcha Racing is due out on the North American 3DS eShop this summer. Take a look at the latest screenshots below.

Nintendo and digital media university DigiPen – in conjunction with Media Development Authority – today launched the DigiPen Game Studios. This new group will be looking to discover and publish titles from Singapore.

DigiPen Game Studios will be scouting potential projects to support during a conference that will be held later in the year. Proposals that are chosen will be developed and eventually distributed for sale on the 3DS eShop, though other gaming systems could eventually follow. DigiPen International chief operating officer Jason Chu has said that the company hopes to select ten games from Singapore by next year.

Developers that are chosen for this new initiative will receive mentorship and assistance from DigiPen. Additionally, Nintendo intends to fully market the different games.

Thanks to Tenku_no_Miko for the tip.
