Odenis Studio has an eShop game in the works, and it won’t be long before it hits the digital store.

Rising Board 3D is Odenis’ new title that sees users surfing through a number of different courses. You can pull off tricks while surfing, and it seems as though a speed element plays a role. The developer has included eight boards that can be purchased with sun points, challenges, multi-layered courses, boosts and more.

You can download Rising Board 3D from the North American eShop on 20th September for $2.99.

Man, this sort of thing gets on my nerves sometimes! The 3DS rhythm/music game “Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure” is getting an iOS port, and- despite charging at least $30 if you buy it on 3DS- users will pay a measly nothing dollars and nothing cents. It’ll be one of those games that’s free to play, but charges you for things like costumes and songs and whatnot, but I’d reckon that even if you bought a multitude of extras, you wouldn’t come anywhere NEAR the price tag of the 3DS version.

Here’s a question for you: Why don’t they make it for iOS, charge $30 there, and then give it to 3DS owners for free!?

Of course we all know why. But it’s still frustrating.
