Amazon has backed up GameFly’s Crash City Mayhem release listing, indicating that the game’s arrival in North America is just on the horizon.
We originally discovered the GameFly listing that put Crash City Mayhem’s launch at May 14. There’s now a similar entry on Amazon. Additionally, Amazon lists a $19.99 price point – fairly cheap for a brand new 3DS game.
Crash City Mayhem should be coming to Europe at some point in the future as well, though publisher Ghostlight has been quiet about its release in recent months.
Amazon lists “LEGO Friends” for 3DS

Could the 3DS be getting yet another LEGO game? If Amazon is any indication, the answer is yes.
The retailer is listing something called “LEGO Friends” for the 3DS, which as far we can tell, sounds like something for a younger demographic.
LEGO Friends is set in Heartlake City, where players encounter “friends” and participate in “exciting adventures that build friendships with the girls and allow you to express your individual style and personality as you explore the city.” You’ll be able to shop for outfits and accessories, change your hairstyle, decorate your bedroom, choose a pet, and participate in events such as horse riding camp, dancing, and animal care at the rescue center.
Other details included on Amazon’s product page mention:
- Express Yourself: Pick out your clothing, hairstyle and accessories, decorate your bedroom the way you want, choose your favorite animal as a pet and even pick out accessories for your pet!
- Join your new Friends on unique adventures. Enjoy different activities with each friend as you learn about her unique personality, sets of interest and personal style.
- Explore Heartlake City and decide how you want to spend your time. Hang out with your friends at the cafe, play soccer, attend dance rehearsal, or visit the karate dojo.
- Help your Friends on special adventures like winning a trophy in a horse riding competition and your friendship levels with the girls will grow closer to True Friend status.
- Train your pet to do tricks, groom her, feed her treats, and enter her in a pet show. Each pet has a special skill that they can use to help you on your adventures. You can even trade places with your fun-loving pet so you can play as her.
Amazon lists a tentative September 1 release date and $39.99 price point for LEGO Friends.

How DKCR3D came to be, Retro was impressed with Monster’s tech abilities
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
A 3DS version of Donkey Kong Country Returns wasn’t something that Nintendo had always planned. Interestingly, the idea came about when Monster Games conducted an experiment following the completion of the Wii game.
Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada revealed to ONM:
Actually, we hadn’t planned for this from the beginning. We felt that the DKCR graphics matched well with 3DS, but the hardware specs were very different. Because of this, we spoke with Retro who also said that it would be difficult to do a straight port. The truth is, it all started when Monster Games ran it as an experiment after DKCR was completed.
