Nintendo’s 3DS save data transfer tool, first promised for Japan in January, has an official release date. The app will be ready for release as a free download from the eShop on March 27.

One simple function is included with the tool: the ability to move save data between 3DS retail games and digital copies. It’s a one-way transfer – data can’t be moved from a digital title to a retail release.

Nintendo warns users that the tool is intended to move – not duplicate – save data. Retail saves will be deleted once the process is completed. If a digital game already has data, it’ll be overwritten if the tool is used.

The makers of DSiWare titles Antipole and Cosmos X2 are bringing a new game to the 3DS eShop. “Turtle Tale” is heading to the digital store sometime in the future.

Turtle Tale is a straight-up 2D platformer that is reminiscent of titles from the older days of gaming – specifically the NES and SNES. You’ll take on the role of a water gun-wielding armed turtle who is looking to keep his island safe from foes.

View a few screenshots from Turtle Tale in the gallery above.

Update: Welp, disregard the new Mega Man game news. Capcom’s Brett Elston clarified on Twitter that “discussions are still going”, though the company “will not announce anything until it’s ready”.

Capcom announced 3DS eShop release dates for Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 5 at its “World of Capcom” panel at PAX East today.

Mega Man 4 will arrive on April 25. Mega Man 5 is due on May 16. Capcom also mentioned a June launch for Mega Man 6, but did not provide a release date.

Elsewhere during the panel, Capcom spoke briefly about the Mega Man series in general. Although the company did not have any information to present to fans today, it did tease that a new project is in development. News will hopefully be shared by year’s end.

In the past, European Wii U and 3DS owners could only purchase mature titles at night. There had been issues relating to German law, making it impossible to download such content during the day time.

The situation has, fortunately, since changed. Nintendo has confirmed that Wii U and 3DS users can now buy and download mature content at any time of the day.

BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma is likely getting localized. It’s just a matter of when.

Arc System Works president Minoru Kidooka said the following when asked about an English translation of the BlayzBloo eShop title:

“We would love to publish this title in the states, but we’re a little short-staffed at the moment. Clone Phantasma is currently in the ‘localization queue’ with a couple other titles.”

Aside from BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma, it sounds like Arc System Works will be localizing other 3DS eShop titles.

“As far as Nintendo 3DS downloadable titles are concerned, we plan on releasing them, one at a time.”

And when asked about the possibility of localizing 3DS retail games such as the Kunio-kun titles, Kidooka said:

“We will need a little publisher support, but if there’s a strong enough demand in certain markets, it would be worth considering.”
