3DS eShop

Capcom USA senior vice-president Christian Svensson commented further on the decision to release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies in the west as a digital download only.

One fan expressed some concern about limiting the game to the eShop. By releasing the title digitally, the thought was that its visibility and sales would be limited.

Svensson isn’t too concerned. He wrote on the Capcom-Unity boards in response:


Natsume’s Twitter account confirms that Harvest Moon will be hitting the North American 3DS eShop this week as a Virtual Console download. It will be available on Thursday.

Other Nintendo digital downloads scheduled for release this week include Super Metroid (Wii U VC), Super Mario Bros. 2 (Wii U VC), and The Starship Damrey.

Goodbye Galaxy Games, the developer behind the DSiWare titles Flipper, Mace Mathician, and Color Commando, is hard at work in its first 3DS eShop game. Circle Entertainment will publish the project, which goes by the name “Tappingo”. Designer Hugo Smits told Nintendo Life that Tappingo is “a real puzzle game” similar to that of Picross.

Future games from Goodbye Galaxy will likely remain on the 3DS. Smits’ love for handhelds means Wii U releases aren’t being considered currently.

That being said, Smits does have positive thoughts when it comes to the Wii U:

From an indie perspective it looks really good. Unity support will really make it easier. I think Nintendo made some really smart moves there.

From a gamer perspective; I’m not really sold yet on the system. I’m still waiting for that one special game that will keep me hooked for weeks.

For now, I cannot wait to enjoy Donkey Kong on my 3DS XL!

As for development; I don’t think it will happen, I just love the handhelds and I’m probably going to stick with 3DS development. And honestly I think this is a good thing. With Wii U really opening up for indies with Unity, I expect a lot of indie projects going there.

So I think it’s good that a few studios will keep putting out quality and exclusive 3DS content for gamers to enjoy.

Ace Attorney 5 will be launching in Japan as a retail product. In the west, where the game is known as “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies”, Capcom has opted to make the game available only through the 3DS eShop.

Following today’s announcement, we asked Capcom about the decision to bring Dual Destinies to North America and Europe as a digital title. The company explained that it “wanted as many people as possible to be able to enjoy the game for as long as possible.” While Capcom does “understand that this decision may upset fans who wanted to have a physical version of the title to add to their collection”, it feels that “this direction is the best to take to ensure that fans are able to enjoy the game at their own leisure.”

Capcom provided Nintendo Everything with the following comment:


The Game Bakers is bringing its mobile title Squids to the Wii U and 3DS eShops. A release is tentative scheduled for the summer.

Squids is an action/RPG title that sees a team of squid fighters taking on the powers of evil. Some of the action gameplay is reminiscent of Angry Birds, though the RPG elements have players developing their characters and equipping them with more powerful items.

The Wii U and 3DS version will incorporate levels from the original game and Squids Wild West while also incorporating content such as new characters. More details will be shared in the future.
