Shin’en has provided updates about two of its upcoming 3DS eShop titles.

First, Nano Assault EX has been approved for the North American store. Shin’en is currently waiting on release date information from Nintendo. EX has almost been approved in Japan as well.

Shin’en is continuing to work on Jett Rocket 2: The Wrath of Taikai. The team spent a week “to spice up our 3DS rendering tech to have constant 60fps”. Jett Rocket 2 will run at 60 frames-per-second even with 3D turned on. Fans of the first Jett Rocket can look forward to a slightly more challenging experience with the sequel.
