3DS eShop


Tribute Games is now an official Nintendo developer. The indie studio can now make titles for the 3DS and Wii U eShops.

At the moment, Tribute is hard at work on Mercenary Kings. This title hasn’t been confirmed for any Nintendo platforms, but it’s a possibility for the Wii U eShop.

Two more games in SEGA’s new “3D” eShop series have been rated by the OFLC. 3D Sonic the Hedgehog and 3D Altered Beast were both added to the Australian classification database today.


The OFLC already rated 3D Space Harrier earlier this year, and it was playable at MCM London Comic Con. We’re still waiting on a release date, though.

One Kickstarter campaign has ended in success, while another has ended in slight disappointment.

Rex Rocket has been fully funded, having secured close to $11,000 in funding. Only $6,000 was originally requested. We should be seeing this one on a bunch of platforms including the Wii U and 3DS.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, The Realm’s Kickstarter ended unsuccessfully. But that’s not the end of the story. A new Kickstarter will launch later this year, which will allow US users to contribute directly to the campaign. The previous campaign made it difficult for US residents to add to the total as it was a UK-based Kickstarter.

Genius Sonority’s quirky 3DS eShop RPG gets sequel-ized, but is there enough depth here to warrant a purchase?


System: Nintendo 3DS
Release Date: May 30th, 2013
Developer: Genius Sonority
Publisher: Genius Sonority


Author: Jack

When The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave was released this past year, 3DS gamers all ‘round the world were treated to not only one of the greatest advertising campaigns in videogame history, but an excellent, simple-yet-effective pure dungeon crawler that oozed accessibility and charm. This time around, developer and publisher Genius Sonority– a group comprised of fragments of Enix (of the Dragon Quest series) and Creatures Inc. (of the Earthbound series)– decided to further fill the Denpa Men mythos by expanding the first, quaint excursion into a full-blown adventure.
