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”.
