Update: Nintendo of America will host a Nintendo Direct tomorrow as well. In addition to Wii U, the 3DS will be featured. Nintendo’s Facebook message states:

“We’re having a Nintendo Direct tomorrow to provide updates on upcoming summer Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games. …We’ll discuss future Wii U titles for fall and onward in a Nintendo Direct before the start of E3 2013.”

It’s that time again – a new Nintendo Direct is coming.

Nintendo UK just tweeted that a Wii U-focused presentation will be steamed tomorrow to highlight spring and summer titles for the console.

A new #NintendoDirectEU with a focus on #WiiU spring/summer titles will be streamed tomorrow, 17/5 at 3pm BST ow.ly/i/283YD

3D Space Harrier playable at MCM London Comic Con – another localization hint

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

Over the past few months, SEGA has given a number of its classic games the 3D treatment on the Japanese 3DS eShop. Just recently, the company produced 3D Sonic the Hedgehog.

It would seem that these series of titles are set to appear on the overseas 3DS eShops. Nintendo UK’s “Nintendo Unleashed Tour” announcement reveals that 3D Space Harrier will be playable at the MCM London Comic Con later this month. That backs up an OFLC rating from January and further implies that the title is being localized. Maybe 3D Super Hang-On and 3D Sonic the Hedgehog will follow?

SteamWorld Dig targeted for August 8

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

SteamWorld Dig will launch on the 3DS eShop on August 8, according to the game’s developer.

Image & Form plans to submit SteamWorld Dig to Nintendo in early June. It will then be ready for release once Nintendo approves the title.

According to Image & Form co-founder of Image & Form, Brjann Sigurgeirsson:

“Yes, we’re on track – almost, at least. We will submit to Nintendo in early June, and then they have a quite long approval process. The good news is that we can finally reveal a release date. It makes little sense for us to release the game in July since we’re almost all on vacation, so SteamWorld Dig will be available on the eShop on AUGUST 8. That’s it, and remember where you read it first.”
