Here’s an interesting tidbit about Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre. Interestingly enough, the app is Nintendo’s first multi-region 3DS cartridge.
Those who visit the Louvre Museum can purchase a retail copy in either Japanese or English. The English version seems to cover North America, Europe, and Australia territories. So that’s one English release for different countries – something we haven’t seen on the 3DS before.
505 Games has pulled the plug on Ashes Cricket 2013 even though the game showed up briefly on Steam a few days ago. It was originally planned for release in July, but was pushed back to November due to quality reasons.
Now 505 games has cancelled Ashes Cricket 2013 entirely. That means all versions of the game – including Wii U – won’t be hitting store shelves.
505 Games shared the following statement:

Warner Bros. will release Batman: Arkham Origins’ Initiation DLC next month. The content, as teased by WB Games VP Ames Kirshen, is a “new kind of challenge map pack that’s got a little bit of a narrative to it.” Players will follow Bruce Wayne’s adventures at a monastery full of ninja.
There are also plans to produce larger story-focused DLC for launch in 2014. Eurogamer reports that the content will feature “one of the most pivotal relationships in the series”. Its scope will be about as large as Arkham City’s Harley Quinn’s Revenge DLC.
Senior producer Ben Mattes told Eurogamer:
“It is in line with our angle of the origins – not necessarily of characters, but of key relationships. It is a DLC that will focus on one of the most key relationships in Batman canon.”
Most retailers have initiated their core sales for Black Friday 2013… despite the fact that today’s actually Thursday.
Amazon’s current offers – like Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for $15 – can be found here
. Also be sure to check out the lightning deals page here, as titles such as Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf will be going on sale later today.
All GameStop sales are located here. There are quite a few highlights, such as Xenoblade and Metroid Prime Trilogy for $33.59 (use the promo code CAG16 on these two). You can also grab LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for $30 and Rayman Legends for just $25.
