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

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.


This week’s video additions to the 3DS eShop are as follows:

KORG M01D is seeing a slight delay in Japan. Originally scheduled for launch this month, the title will now hit the 3DS eShop in June.

Detune did not provide any reasons for the release date change.

KORG M01D was originally scheduled to arrive on the overseas 3DS eShops this summer. Hopefully the Japanese delay won’t have any major affects on the game’s western release.


In Japan, D3Publisher will soon release “@Simple DL Series Vol.13 The Taxi: I am a Charismatic Driver”. Put the odd name aside and you’re left with a game that sounds somewhat like a Crazi Taxi title.

@Simple DL Series Vol.13 The Taxi: I am a Charismatic Driver has players taking on the role of a taxi driver as they attempt to earn one million yen. The meat of the game involves picking up passengers and racing through Rainbow City as they’re brought downtown or to the movie theater. It’s possible to customize your taxi with a wing, bumper, license plate, accessory, wheel, sticker, and special accessory, and power-ups can be purchased to adjust how the taxi drives.

@Simple DL Series Vol.13 The Taxi: I am a Charismatic Driver will be available on the Japanese 3DS eShop on June 12 for 600 yen.


Bit Boy!! Arcade was originally scheduled for launch late last year. News regarding the game went silent for a few months, but it resurfaced once again yesterday in the form of new screenshots.

For now, Bit Boy!! Arcade is planned to arrive on the 3DS eShop this summer. Pricing is set at $7.99 / €7.99.

Will Mutant Mudds’ Max have a starring role in Renegade Kid’s next 3DS eShop game, Treasurenauts? It sure looks like it.

Renegade Kid shared an official image from the game today showing three out of the eight playable characters. The silhouette on the bottom right certainly resembles Max.

Take a look at the two side-by-side:


Yup – certainly resembles Max!
