Last year, Spicysoft released a new platform action title on the Japanese 3DS eShop known as “Chariso DX”. This was originally a project developed for smartphones in Japan – stemming from the popular “Chariso” series, which has surpassed 20 million downloads in total.
Spicysoft has now confirmed to us that Chariso DX will be making its way to the North American and European 3DS eShops as “Bike Rider DX”.
Here’s a useful overview that the company passed along:
The player travels many stages set in several places around the world, dodging obstacles, collecting coins and trying to reach the goal. There is also a bunch of hidden bonus stages and an endless mode where a random endless stage is created, and the player can test his skills and race for a highscore.
The gameplay in the localized version will not differ from the original, so you should get a pretty good impression of what the game is like – a platform action game with really simple controls but challenging stages, fun to play and easy to understand for basically everyone.
Localization for Bike Rider DX is more or less finished. A release is planned for the summer, and you’ll probably be seeing it “sooner than later”. Spicysoft also promises that the game “won’t be too expensive.”
Kirby’s Dream Land 2 may be hitting the North American 3DS eShop next week. According to a listing on the digital store, it’s due out on August 1. Pricing is set at $3.99.
Keep in mind that Nintendo’s listings aren’t always final. Sometimes they’re reliable, sometimes they’re not!
You may remember that, a few months ago, we covered a fan-made initiative that sees Zelda: Skyward Sword’s textures added into Twilight Princess. It looks like things have come quite far since then, as a teaser video has now appeared online. Watch it below:
Capcom announced today that Monster Hunter 4 will be available digitally in Japan on the same day as the packaged version. Both releases are priced at 5,990 yen.
Monster Hunter 4 launches in Japan on September 14.
Sonic Lost World will be available at retail and on the eShop. If you live in Japan and opt for the latter, you can purchase the game at a discount.
On Wii U, Sonic Lost World’s retail version will be priced at 7,329 yen. The download version, meanwhile, is set at 6,500 yen.
There’s a similar discount for the 3DS release of Sonic Lost World. Players will be able to buy the title for 5,229 yen at retail or 4,700 yen on the eShop.
