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.
A message from Nintendo reads:

BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma in Arc System Works’ “localization queue”, other eShop games coming
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
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.”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham has let one small tidbit loose regarding the studio’s new first-person shooter for the 3DS eShop. Watsham tweeted that the game will support a couple of control schemes including the Circle Pad Pro and stylus/touch screen usage.
He wrote:
BTW – the Circle Pad Pro is just one of the control options for our 3DS FPS. The classic stylus control is also supported (my personal fav).

We haven’t seen the new game in action, but that should change in just a few days. The new FPS will be playable at PAX East later this week.

Another Castle not coming to 3DS since its engine isn’t supported
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Uncade plans to bring Another Castle to the Wii U eShop, but not 3DS. There’s a simple reason: the indie title’s engine isn’t supported on Nintendo’s handheld. That point aside, Uncade’s David Byers believes that developing another version would be a lot to ask for since it’s being made for a bunch of different platforms.
Byers said in a recent interview:
“Unfortunately the game engine I’m using doesn’t support the 3DS. I’m also developing the game for a LOT of different platforms, so adding any more at this point might be too much.”
