In April, the “Nintendo Spring Partner Preview” went up on Nintendo’s YouTube page. It highlighted a few games, including Tumblestone. We learned at the time that, in addition to Wii U, a New 3DS version was in the works.

There’s been a lot of news about Tumblestone since then, including a release date and retail version. But good news: the New 3DS version is still coming along as well. It’s planned for later in the year.

The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild reconfirmed on Twitter earlier in the week:

Yesterday, some news emerged about Pirate Pop Plus for Wii U and 3DS and the involvement of Runbow creator 13AM Games. It’s all now been made official through a new Tumblr post from the studio.

Pirate Pop Plus is indeed coming to Wii U, and also New 3DS (instead of 3DS). Additionally, 13AM confirmed that it’s now getting into publishing.

13AM wrote:

13AM Games is no longer just 13AM Games! We have opened up to game publishing with our brand new publishing arm: 13AM Shipping Solutions!

We’re really excited to help bring indie games to console and PC, and our first projects is Dadako’s Pirate Pop Plus! A super addictive, gravity-defying, score-chasing, bubble-busting, gameboy-style arcade game for Wii U, New 3DS and Steam!

We will have more details in the coming weeks and months and hope to release the game soon! We’ve still got some work to do though, so be patient with us.

Anyways, as always thanks for the passion. We’re glad to be bringing more fun games to you guys whenever we can.

Oh and as for some rumors about a supposed extra playable character… I’m gonna have to stay mum on that one.

Update (6/28): RCMADIAX sent out some screenshots of BrickRace. It’s also likely being made for New 3DS only due to the engine behind it (Unity).

We know that Wii U will be adding three Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games on the North American eShop tomorrow, but thankfully, the 3DS won’t be left out of the Virtual Console fun. Specifically on New 3DS, Capcom is bringing out Super Ghouls’n Ghosts.

Here’s an overview:

“The third game in the legendary Ghosts ‘n Goblins series of video games, Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts follows Arthur in another quest to rescue the princess, his fair maiden and damsel in distress at large. Players take control of Arthur and defeat the creatures of the night to save the day once more. Discover what glory awaits those brave enough to take on the armies of Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts.”

Super Ghouls’n Ghosts will cost $7.99 when it arrives on the New 3DS Virtual Console tomorrow.
