REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– There’s no escaping the scary essence of Friday the 13th as Nintendo unleashes an extraordinary new experience in horror-themed entertainment. Launching today exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir invites horror fans to immerse themselves in a chilling hand-held adventure. The game’s 3D visuals and augmented-reality features help unravel the mysterious tale of a girl named Maya who’s been trapped in a haunted house and cursed by a malevolent woman in black. As players strive to rescue Maya, ghostly images are intermingled with real-world environments to create a visceral, personalized experience they won’t soon forget.

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir comes with the “diary of faces,” a 16-page augmented-reality book that transforms the Nintendo 3DS system into the Camera Obscura. When the “diary of faces” is viewed through the lens of the system’s built-in camera, it allows players to discover unique experiences that not only advance the game’s storyline but also add eerie interactive elements. For example, some pages contain movies that reveal past events that occurred in the haunted house where Maya is trapped, while others cause evil spirits to seemingly emerge from the book and into players’ own real-world surroundings.

Kid Icarus: Uprising wasn’t in the top 10 NPD software rankings for March. That doesn’t mean the game didn’t sell well, though.

Analyst Anita Frazier said Uprising “would have been among the top selling individual SKUs for the month of March.”

Frazier wrote in the NPD report:

“In a list of the top 10 SKUs for the month (as opposed to top titles as listed here), 3DS Kids Icarus: Uprising would have been among the top selling individual SKUs for the month of March.”

We may get specific Kid Icarus: Uprising sales later today/tomorrow.

Supervillain’s CCO/Co-Founder Chris Rausch has revealed that Order Up will no longer be hitting store shelves. Instead Ignition Entertainment will be publishing the game on the 3DS eShop.

Order Up will first receive a demo on the digital store. Soon after, the full game will be available.

As for why Order Up is now a digital title, Rausch explained:

“[Order Up] is now coming exclusively to the 3DS eShop as a download. The retail scene is brutal unfortunately, so there have been some changes in plan.”

The demo should be available in the near future according to Rausch:

“I think the demo is just ASAP after Nintendo approval, and the game would follow soon after.”

Ignition Entertainment hasn’t announced a final release date for Order Up.
