Like many other older 3DS retail games, Konami has made New Love Plus available on the 3DS eShop. But you’ll need a bunch of space on an SD card in order to download the game.
1.8GB (14,400 blocks) are required on a card. You can throw in another 600MB (4,800 blocks) for save data. New Love Plus can be purchased for 4,800 yen.
Starting on New Year’s day, eight different Arc System Works games will be available at a discount on the Japanese 3DS eShop. The publisher is hosting a sale through January 6 on the following titles:
Escape Adventure Girl of the Old School Building – 600 yen (14% off)

After originally coming out for WiiWare, Romino Games ported Swords & Soldiers to a number of platforms. A 3DS eShop port is now in the works as well.
Circle Entertainment is working on the 3DS version. CEO Chris Chau said his company contacted Romino a few months back, and the studio was receptive of a 3DS port.
“We reached out to Ronimo a few months ago. They’re very nice and they’re happy to do a 3DS version of Swords & Soldiers. Circle always wants to take on new projects in different genres, so Swords & Soldiers 3D can be a first step [to making more 3DS titles].”
Chau added that Circle Entertainment is in talks with Romino about a demo and free DLC. Swords & Soldiers 3D could be out by spring.
“We’re still discussing with Ronimo the possibility of offering free DLC and a demo [for Swords & Soldiers 3D] to players. I believe people will be able to see this title in a few months—perhaps next Spring.”
Austin edit: This is a thing you must do, because the game is truly wonderful.
ZombiU will be on sale for just $45 this weekend. Starting on December 30 and through January 5, Target will be maintaining the discount.
If you’re interested in the game, now may be the time to make a purchase. This is by far the lowest price we’ve seen for ZombiU thus far.
