Over in Europe, SEGA trademarked something called “Sonic Lost World” for use with video games. Could this be the next entry in the Sonic series?
SEGA has given Sonic a bit of a break over the past couple of years. New games came out annually between 2004 and 2011, but we haven’t seen a major release since Sonic Generations.
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.”
EnjoyUp Games is coming out with “Bowling Bonanza 3D” on the 3DS eShop tomorrow.
Bowling Bonanza 3D sports Quick Play, Arcade, league and tournament game modes, hot seat multiplayer with up to 4 players, 5 CPU difficulty settings, a Full Rating and progress system, over 10 environments and pin sets, more than 30 bowling balls, and ball customization. Whew. That’s not all! You’ll also be able to save your favorite shots and re-watch them through video playback. Lastly, you can full adjust your stance, direction, or ball spin while setting up your shot.
You can find some screenshots from Bowling Bonanza 3D above.
Notion Games and Ubisoft have settled on a name change for Super Ubi Land. Ubisoft asked Notion to change Super Ubie Land’s name due to the similarity of “Ubi” to “Ubie”.
The change is nothing major – the downloadable title will now be called “Super Ubie Land”.
Notion tweeted just a short while ago:
The great @notiongamesllcand @ubisoft debate is over! We have settled on the name #SuperUbieLand! Ubisoft has been a great help!
