Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido was one of the surprise games revealed during the Nintendo Treehouse Live segment at E3. Back then, the game was reported to be coming to the “Nintendo 3DS family of systems”, as per the fact sheet released by Nintendo. However, on the game’s page on Nintendo of America’s website, it says that the game is compatible with “New Nintendo 3DS systems only”. On Nintendo of Europe’s various websites, on the other hand, the game is listed as being compatible with all 3DS systems.

Lots of conflicting information around – let’s hope Nintendo clarifies this soon, although there’s still some time on the game’s release in 2018.
