Teyon will be launching Robot Rescue 3D on the North American and European 3DS eShops next week. Pricing is set at $2.99 / €2.99.
Robot Rescue should sound familiar. On DSiWare, Teyon created and released two titles in the puzzle series.
Robot Rescue 3D will include all levels from the first two games as well as “never before seen levels all transformed into 3D.” A total of 120 “perplexing and brain-bending” sections will be included, as well as various obstacles. Players will find up to 30 robots trapped in one level at a time.
For the official announcement, head past the break. Robot Rescue 3D’s trailer is posted above.

It was initially thought that Nintendo only rejected permission for the streaming portion of Evo’s proceedings.
