Update: One more rating for the road: Tumblepop.

3DS Virtual Console listings continue to pour in from various classification boards.

Today, PEGI has rated Rayman for the service. This must be related to the Game Boy Color version of the title, which was released in 2000.

It looks like we can also expect The Sword of Hope 2 on the eShop soon, as the OFLC has added in an entry for the old Game Boy game.

Update: Bumped to the front page with more screenshots.

Screenshots aren’t from the 3DS version obviously, but it should contain most of the features from the other platforms. And if this is in the works for Wii U (which I think it is), you can expect that version to look similar to the screenshots above.

A sequel to Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is in the works. Sumo Digital and SEGA will release “Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed” this autumn.

When we first heard rumblings of a followup, the project was rumored for the 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and 3DS. Two out of those three platforms have been confirmed. Right now the game is heading to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, 3DS, and Vita. Unlike the original, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed is not coming to Wii. This makes us think that SEGA will be announcing a version for Nintendo’s new console at E3…

You can find the first details on Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed below.

– Can skid across water and soar in the sky
– Sumo had come up with their ideas before Mario Kart 7 was revealed
– Tweaks in handling when you go underwater
– Fully-fledged flight model for air segments
– Guide your winged-vehicle through floating boost gates
– Handling is comparable to Mario Kart and OutRun, but with a little more heft
– Can track off waves for a boost on occasion
– Watch out for whirlpools that can slow you down or drag you under
– Changes in the track as you race
– Shortcuts and alternative routes
– Panzer Dragoon-themed course included
– Spend a lot of time in the air for this stage
– Monkey Ball track: choice of winding, narrow, barrier-free strips of track up above, or the wider stretches below that are slower but easier to negotiate
– One shortcut sends you leaping onto a numbered target from the Money Target mini-game
– Sumo needed permission from SEGA Japan to include water for the Monkey Ball stage
– Improvements in graphics
– Composer Richard Jacques is working on the game
– Remix of classic SEGA tunes
– Commentator from the first game is gone
– Announcer only interjects to share the most important race information
– Crowd will clap, cheer, chant for their favorite racer
– Sonic drives his Koenigsegg-style supercar
– Team is trying to make the vehicles cooler
– Skies of Arcadia’s Vyse is in the game, has a vehicle based on the Delphinus
– Golden Axe’s Gilius Thunderhead is in the game, has a Ray Harryhausen-esque bronze creature that morphs into a turtle and an eagle
– Thunderhead was planned for the first game
– Final unlockable level will impress SEGA fans
– Earn points for your chosen character that feed into a leveling system
– Unlock trinkets/vehicle mods
– Split-screen multiplayer
– Online races
– Up to eight players

In February, composer Hideki Sakamoto tweeted that Time Travelers would arrive in early summer. A new pamphlet from Nintendo gives credence to his message.

The pamphlet includes games expected to ship in June/July. Each entry lists a specific release date… except Time Travelers.

In any case, it seems as though Level-5 will launch Time Travelers within the first two months of summer.

Nintendo has confirmed “Midnight Purple” as the next color variation for the 3DS in North America. It will be available on May 20.

Just as lilacs and hyacinth bloom throughout the spring, so too a new color is blooming for the Nintendo 3DS system. Midnight Purple gives the hand-held a royal new look. The new color will launch May 20, the same day Mario Tennis Open becomes available.

The Midnight Purple Nintendo 3DS, offered at a suggested retail price of $169.99 in the United States, becomes the fifth color in the always-stylish Nintendo 3DS color palette, joining Cosmo Black, Aqua Blue, Flame Red and Pearl Pink. Now fans have another option to customize the look of their systems to suit their individual styles and personalities.
