3DS eShop

Shin’en is kicking off a new sale across the North American 3DS and Wii U eShops today. All of the studio’s games will be discounted by 30%, including Art of Balance TOUCH! and Nano Assault Neo.

The “Shin’en Spring Sale” lasts until May 9. Shin’en tells us that the sale is “A little spring present to our fans.”


More and more consumers are purchasing digital content – even in Japan. A good chunk of Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s sales came from the eShop, and there are a fair amount of 3DS owners who have opted to purchase the downloadable version of Tomodachi Collection.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently commented on the rise of digital sales during the Q&A session of the company’s latest financial results briefing. He confirmed to attendees that Animal Crossing’s digital sales in Japan stand at 10%, while Tomodachi Collection’s digital sales have come in at 10% thus far.


Keiji Inafune could have contributed to Guild01. Level-5 actually approached Inafune before development on the collection began, but because he was still with Capcom at the time, teaming up with the company proved difficult. Inafune made sure to participate when Guild02 rolled on in.

According to Inafune:

“At the very beginning, when Level-5 was creating Guild 01, Hino-san from Level-5 approached me and asked if I would be interested in participating in the project. At that time, I was still at Capcom and I was willing to work with them, but it was very complicated since I was employed by a different publisher. We kept the discussion open and when I became independent it was easier for me to participate, but at that time it was after Guild 01. When Guild 02 started I was one of the first candidates on the list. I showed a couple of concept to Hino-san and the one that was most appealing was Bugs vs. Tanks.”

Inafune told Siliconera about one of his other ideas, which was “bloody and gory”. Because of its M-rated nature, it wasn’t a likely candidate for inclusion in the Guild series.

“Hino-san also liked the other idea, but it was bloody and gory. It would probably a M-rated game and it wasn’t really suitable even if it was a good idea. Hino-san laughed and said it might be hard to put it into the Guild 01 Nintendo series.”

Most of you have probably heard about the Angry Video Game Nerd before. In his popular web series, James Rolfe blasts games from the past.

A brand new video game based on AVGN was announced earlier this month for PC. Today, it was revealed through the title’s official Facebook page that a release is also planned for “Nintendo consoles”.

The word “consoles” seems to imply that Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures will be heading to the Wii U eShop as well as the 3DS eShop.

FreakZone Games is working on Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures. It incorporates action, platforming, and shooting gameplay, and takes inspiration from the likes of Mega Man and Castlevania.
