[Review] Metroid: Samus Returns
Posted on 6 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Reviews | 11 Comments
System: 3DS
Release date: September 15, 2017
Developer: MercurySteam / Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Samus Aran has a long history with the video games and is easily one of the most iconic and recognizable characters of all time. But unfortunately, the famous bounty hunter along with the Metroid series itself have been mostly dormant for quite a while. However, now Samus is back, and it feels incredible to have her at the forefront once again. Even if Metroid: Samus Returns is just a remake and not a brand new title, beggars can’t be choosers, and I can promise that everything the game has to offer touches base with everything we’ve wanted from a classic Metroid title for a long time while remaining fresh and feeling contemporary in its mechanics, gameplay, progression, and world.

Famicom Detective Club-inspired Ise-Shima Mystery Guide: The False Black Pearl coming to 3DS in Japan
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News | 3 Comments
Ise-Shima Mystery Guide: The False Black Pearl has just been announced for 3DS via the latest issue of Famitsu. The mystery adventure-style game is a pretty clear reference to the classic NES game Famicom Detective Club – in fact, developer Happymeal is making Ise-Shima Mystery Guide: The False Black Pearl within the specifications of an NES game, at least in terms of its visuals and its sound design.
The game will be released exclusively on the 3DS eShop. A release date has not yet been announced.

For the new “Arena Edition” on Switch, Ratalakia Games is including an exclusive co-op mode. Below is a brief look at that in action:
