3DS

The OFLC has outed two new Virtual Console titles for the 3DS.

First up is the classic Game Boy title, Castlevania: The Adventure. It’s already available on the Japanese eShop, so it makes sense that the game will be heading to other territories. Master of Darkness has also been rated by the OFLC and should be available as a Game Gear VC download in the near future.

Zen Studios Creative Director Neil Sorens has provided an update on downloadable content for Zen Pinball 3D and more. Sorens says that the DLC “will be definitely available this year.”

According to Sorens:

“Yes, definitely. We’re just waiting for the right time to add the support for add-on content for Zen Pinball. It will be definitely available this year. We’re going to have new tables for Zen Pinball, we’ll also release Marvel Pinball [for the 3DS, PS Vita and PC] and we’ll have add-on tables for that as well down the road.”

Sorens has also been asked about any interest the studio may have in making a Nintendo-based pinball table. While this is something they would be open to pursuing, the Big N’s protective nature of their IPs probably means that making something based on Mario or Zelda wouldn’t be possible for now.

Neil explained:

“Yes, definitely. We’d love to make Mario, Zelda or Pokémon pinball tables. Nintendo is obviously very protective of their Intellectual Properties, so we hoping that once our games become established on their platforms they’ll see us as a good potential partner and they’ll want to work with us.”
