3DS eShop

Not a bad lineup of games! I’m frankly amazed that we’re getting a Wii U eShop game and demo in the same week.

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

Nintendo eShop on Wii U
Puddle – Winner at the Independent Games Festival 2010, Puddle is a game that finds players guiding a puddle of fluid through 49 challenging and diverse levels by tilting the environment left or right. Players must also take into account friction, gravity and temperature, and use various types of liquids to navigate the unique environments that include burning passageways, carnivorous plants and electric currents.

The Cave – Demo Version – The Cave is a new adventure game from Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion creator Ron Gilbert and Double Fine Productions, the award-winning studio behind Psychonauts and Brütal Legend. Assemble your team of three from seven unlikely adventurers, each with his or her own unique personality and story. Descend into mysterious depths to explore many different locations, including a subterranean amusement park and a medieval castle, not to mention a fully armed and ready-to-launch nuclear-tipped ICBM. The Cave awaits.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf has not only been a huge success at retail, but also on the 3DS eShop.

New Leaf has sold 2.73 million units in Japan through the end of December 2012. Based on data from Nintendo’s latest financials and data from Media Create as well as Famitsu, it looks like the game has sold a total of almost 800,000 copies digitally, 500,000 of which are direct downloads from the eShop.

Amazingly, the latest Animal Crossing has achieved close to 30% of its sales from digital downloads.

It appears that 3D Space Harrier will be localized for overseas territories. A rating for the game popped up on the OFLC, likely meaning that an Australian release is on the way. One would assume that 3D Space Harrier will be making its way to the North American and European 3DS eShops as well.

Interestingly, Nintendo is listed as 3D Space Harrier’s publisher. Has Nintendo decided to publish the title for SEGA in the west?

The creator of Gunman Clive has plans to release his next game on the 3DS. According to Bertil Hörberg, he will “definitely” be returning to the system and the project “will focus on the 3DS from the start”. Hörberg may consider porting the game to other platforms down the line.

Don’t count on any Wii U games from Hörberg for now. While Hörberg acknowledged that Wii U development would be “fun”, the 3DS is “quite enough to handle at the moment”.
