3DS eShop

A.N.N.E. has only been confirmed for the Wii U eShop at the moment. However, the game will likely be making its way to the 3DS eShop as well.

In a new interview, Games By Mo’s Mo Broots expressed interest in making a portable version of A.N.N.E. for the 3DS. He’ll be focusing on “making a great game” for now, but Broots is “sure that a 3DS port will happen.”

Broots said:

“For sure, but it’s not in the plans as of now. All I want to focus on right now is making a great game and then I am sure that a 3DS port will happen.”

WayForward hasn’t shared any new updates about Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse since revealing the game in Nintendo Power’s final issue. That was over a half a year ago.

Since then, WayForward has continued working on the project diligently “and the team has been plowing it away.”

Now when might we be hearing something new about Pirate’s Curse? Soon, apparently.

WayForward’s Matt Bozon told Nintendo Force this month:

“The new Shantae (Pirate’s Curse) is a huge endeavor and the team has been plowing it away. We have incredible talent on board and will be able to share more details shortly!”

Flipnote Studio 3D is due out on the North American 3DS eShop in early August, the application’s new website confirms.

All 3DS owners will be able to download and use Flipnote Studio 3D for free. However, in order to use Flipnote Gallery: World and interact with other users across the globe, you’ll need to fork over $0.99 for 30 days of service. Keep in mind that the Flipnote Gallery: Friends functionality is completely free.

Another point worth mentioning is that Flipnote Gallery: World will be free to everyone between the hours of 3 PM and 7 PM, which is based on the 3DS’ internal clock. The first 30 days of use will be a free trial period.

More details about Flipnote Studio 3D, extracted from the app’s website, can be found below.
