Here’s something interesting: Nintendo released Kersploosh! (known as Splash or Crash in Europe) on the Japanese 3DS eShop when the store initially launched. The game only has ten levels.

Toki Tori 2 won’t be coming to the 3DS

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

Fans of the Toki Tori series may remember that the series started out on the Game Boy Color. The game is also available on the 3DS eShop right now.

Toki Tori’s portable roots begs the question: could we ever see Toki Tori 2 on the 3DS? The short answer is no.

On Twitter, Two Tribes explained that Nintendo’s portable isn’t capable of running the title fast enough.
In order to make it happen, the studio would need to “use the same systems but build a different game around it that suits the hardware better.”

“@getsuga_tensho: is there any chance of a 3DS version of Toki Tori 2 if you saw interest for it?”Nope 🙁 3DS can’t run it fast enough.

The only way we could get it on 3DS is to use the same systems but build a different game around it that suits the hardware better.

It would look super sweet in 3D though, the layered backgrounds are perfect for the depth effect.

ATV Wild Ride 3D approved by NOA

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

ATV Wild Ride 3D inches one step closer to a release on the 3DS eShop. Renegade Kid co-founder has confirmed on Twitter that the digital title has been approved by Nintendo of America, which is pretty much the last step in the submission process. It’ll now be up to Nintendo to decide when ATV Wild Ride 3D will hit the eShop.

Watsham also noted that ATV Wild Ride 3D has been submitted to Japan. The game needs “a final seal of approval” before hitting the Japanese eShop.

NOA have approved ATV 3D for release. Now it is onto Japan for their final seal of approval. Fingers crossed we hear good news next week.

XSEED on Rune Factory 4 eShop release, no demo

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

A good amount of 3DS games these days launch at retail and on the eShop. Rune Factory 4, a newly confirmed localization release from XSEED, may head down this path.

XSEED’s Tom Lipschultz said the publisher will make the 3DS title available through the eShop if possible:

“Game’s pretty big, so I don’t know if it’ll fit on the eshop. We’ll do it if we can, though, I’m sure.”

Lipschultz also noted that Rune Factory 4 likely won’t be getting a demo:

“And I don’t think it has a demo, so probably no on that front. If you’ve enjoyed previous Rune Factory games, though, then chances are you’ll enjoy Rune Factory 4 — it’s pretty much the biggest, most complex and most charming Rune Factory yet.”
