This week’s GameStop ad has gone live. Aside from Rayman Legends’ continued discount, there isn’t a whole lot here unfortunately. You can pick up a pre-owned Wii or DS Lite for $50, but that’s about it.

GameMill has announced Doodle Jump Adventures and Doodle Jump Journey for North America. The games will be available on the 3DS and DS respectively later this year. Smoking Gun Interactive is handling development of both versions.

The two games contain accessible, “pick up and play” gameplay. Doodle Jump Adventures comes with an Endless Mode and Adventure Mode featuring 48 levels, power-ups, and boss battles. Doodle Jump Journey will offer the franchise’s three original themes – Classic, Jungle, and Space – in Endless Mode.

Nintendo has published the first three Inazuma Eleven games in Europe. However, none of the series’ games have yet to arrive in North America.

Pocket Gamer recently asked Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino about the possibility of a US launch. Hino explained that if fans in the states show their support, “I’d love to respond to that and make preparations for their release.”

He said:

“If more people in the US start saying that they want to play the games then I’d love to respond to that and make preparations for their release.”
