The 2.0 update for Steel Diver: Sub Wars won’t be released this month as originally planned. Instead, the game’s director says we can expect it in early June.

Takaya Imamura wrote in a new Miiverse update:

Hello, this is Takaya Imamura, the Director of Steel Diver: Sub Wars. As always, thank you so much for playing. I would like to take a moment to update you on Version 2.0, which we announced recently.

We had been aiming to release Version 2.0 in May. However, we’d now like to ask you for a little more time, in order to ensure that the finished update is as polished as possible. The current plan is to release the update in early June.

I apologise to those who have been looking forward to this release, and thank you for your patience.

Over on NeoGAF, Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez discussed a number of topics/complaints brought up by fans, such as the lack of news regarding Guxt for 3DS, Grinsia’s technical problems, and more.

Check out his comments in full below:

Coming from a Nintendo of Europe Press Release Chibi-Robo! Let’s Go, Photo is heading to the 3DS eShop on July 3rd. Here are the details that have been confirmed:

  • The game will make heavy use of the system’s cameras for Augmented Reality centered mechanics
  • Taking photos of real-life objects with in-game silhouettes will transform them into NostalJunk, sending it into the game
  • Earn Happy Points by helping a cast of new characters like a sushi-slinging squid or an eccentric pair of chefs who need Chibi’s help. Happy Points are used to buy more silhouettes
  • European players can enter NostalJunk Contests through SpotPass to win exclusive Chibi-Robo costumes for use in-game

Along with the screenshots above, we have an additional tidbit about the game. You can alter the Pokemon you use by touching the touchscreen for each Pokemon, or press the X, Y, or A buttons.
