This week’s issue of Famitsu reveals a new Run for Money game for 3DS, which is based on a popular TV program. Super Run for Money: Assemble! The Strongest Runaways will be available later this summer, according to the magazine.
The new game supports local communications, co-operative missions, and personal Miis. New stages include a fantasy map, a gold rush of America stage, and a pyramid stage.
Bandai Namco is preparing Super Run for Money: Assemble! The Strongest Runaways for a July 9 release. A special edition with hunter’s sunglasses (child size) is planned.
The previous Run for Money title, Run for money: Escape From the Strongest Hunters in History!, was a huge success for Bandai Namco. It went on to sell 650,000 copies in Japan.

Terraria for Wii U/3DS rated by the USK
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Terraria is pretty much a sure thing for Wii U and 3DS at this point. The game was listed by GameFly, and Nintendo versions appeared on Amazon soon after. Now we have yet another indication of Wii U and 3DS versions.
The USK – a ratings board in Germany – rated Terraria for both Wii U and 3DS. As expected, 505 Games is listed as the publisher.
There still has yet to be an official announcement for Terraria on Nintendo systems. It will happen soon, hopefully.
Thanks to Shinun for the tip.
