SteamWorld Dig is scheduled for a mid-2013 launch. Image & Form tells us that development will wrap up in April and will then be submitted to Nintendo. The studio is planning to have the game available in English and Japanese.

Level-5 released the first game in the Guild02 series of titles on the Japanese 3DS eShop today. Those who purchase the game and have access to the Guild01 releases can gain access to a small bonus of sorts.
When playing Monsters Come Out on Friday, if it detects any usage of Guild01 on the 3DS, players will be rewarded with a digital, mini art book. Pretty neat, aye?

Flipnote Studio 3D to be made available as a free download on Nintendo eShop this summer
13th March 2013 – Start to stockpile your creative juices, as Nintendo has released first details on the new features of animation software Flipnote Studio 3D for Nintendo 3DS. To be released this summer as a free download on Nintendo eShop, Flipnote Studio 3D will give you the chance to devise 3D animated masterpieces with the simple aid of your Nintendo 3DS system. Check out the first details by watching the ‘Nintendo Direct Mini – Flipnote Studio 3D’ video on the Nintendo Direct website.
Flipnote Studio 3D follows up from Flipnote Studio on Nintendo DSi*, furthering the concept of turning your Nintendo handheld console into an animation studio using your stylus to contrive simple or elaborate sketches, called Flipnotes. For those inspired by old-fashioned flip-pads which create the illusion of movement when flicked through, Flipnote Studio 3D is the virtual equivalent, but with the added benefit of 3D layering, and, as with the original Flipnote Studio, the ability to include audio and share your creations with the world.

Delver’s Drop is the latest Kickstarter game that could be Wii U/3DS-bound
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Pixelscopic could bring Delver’s Drop to the Wii U. The company just wrapped up a Kickstarter campaign and managed to raise nearly $150,000 – double the $75,000 goal.
Delver’s Drop takes inspiration from a ton of different games – Zelda: Link to the Past, Demon’s Souls, Diablo, and a whole lot more.
Nintendo fans will be interested to hear that, even though nothing has been confirmed, Pixelscopic has been in touch with the Big N about becoming an approved developer, and the studio does have interest in bringing its project to the Wii U / 3DS eShops.
According to Pixelscopic’s Ryan Baker:
“We’re fans of the Wii U and 3DS, but we have not decided on a console between the three big platform holders. We will most likely decide this based on how well it does after the PC/Mac/Linux release, and continued fan requests for console. Honestly, we’d love to support all of them, but that would likely be a 6+ month endeavour to add to our tech and support these systems. We had made a Kickstarter stretch goal for the console port, but it looks like that will not be met by the end of our campaign. But as with all other unmet stretch goals, we will consider developing them later if the game is successful and we have continued fan interest.”
Delver’s Drop is planned for release in 2014. Perhaps we’ll see a Nintendo version next year!
