Several new games are listed on Nintendo’s website for release next week on the North American 3DS eShop. Here’s the lineup as of now:
101 Penguin Pets 3D
Snow Moto Racing 3D
Jewel Master: Cradle Of Rome 2
My Vet Practice 3D – In the Country
Also, don’t forget Mighty Switch Force! 2 for Wii U, supposedly due out next Thursday as well.
For some reason, Nintendo doesn’t always include new eShop releases in its weekly digital download report. That’s the case with Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic, which is out now on the 3DS store. System owners can pick up the game for $19.99.
Thanks to Forte-sama for the tip.
Before shelving Toki Tori 2’s level editor on Wii U, Two Tribes looked into a number of different possibility in hopes of realizing the functionality. One of these was to have Nintendo and Valve working together, and it sounds like things progressed pretty far before the idea was ultimately scrapped.
Two Tribes’ Martijn Reuvers told Kotaku that the studio’s “dream was basically to let users create levels on whatever platform they’d prefer and that they would be able to share it through Steam Workshop.” Players on Wii U would be able to login to Steam, similar to how Portal handled things on the PlayStation 3.
Sadly, it wasn’t met to be. Reuvers explained, “”After doing a thorough technical check, we decided that in order to create a near seamless integration, we needed more functionality that was out of our control.”
