College Humor’s popular BearShark animated series, featured often in the Nintendo Video application, is getting its own game on the 3DS eShop. The news was announced toward the beginning of the recently-published season finale episode.
The first screenshots and details are already available through a listing on Nintendo’s website. The Bearshark game is made by Silverball – the team that formerly made Metroid Prime Pinball as Fuse Games – and is being published by, unsurprisingly, College Humor.
You can find a few details about the game from the official product listing. There’s also screenshots to view in the gallery above.
BearShark will be hitting the 3DS eShop on May 2.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Along with Zelda: A Link to the Past’s 3DS sequel, Nintendo gave the press an opportunity to try out Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, which is due out in just a few weeks. Gameplay details from new impressions can be found below.
– Has the traditional kind of “‘save the mindless Lemmings from absolute peril” gameplay
– Top-down view
– Place guiding paths on square tiles for the marching Minis on the lower screen while watching their progress on the upper
– Optionally collect 3 medals
– Minis need to reach an end point
– Will need to sometimes obtain a key to open a locked path, demolish an existing path with a bomb or feed unnecessary tiles to a ‘trash compactor.’
– Four core modes
– “Mario’s Main Event”: game’s most-core feature
– This mode has players racing against the clock and a pipe that fills with “path tiles”
– If the pipe reaches its limit, or the time limit expires, or the meandering Mini hits a dead end or walks off a cliff, the game is over
– Need to monitor these restrictions, collect medals, and reach a goal
– “Puzzle Palace”: provides a fixed number of tiles that must be arranged for a single Mini to find its way
– “Many Mini Mayhem”: pits your skills against wrangling multiple Minis while rotating specific tiles to maneuver them to a specified destination
– “Giant Jungle” sets the marching Minis in a giant stage that doesn’t even fit on a single 3DS screen
– These Minis have different character skins that can be swapped in the Options menu
– Switch between Mario, Donkey Kong, Peach, Toad, and Pauline
– Need to collect stars scattered throughout the map in this mode while also acquiring stopwatches to increase available time
– Out May 9
