Yesterday, we reported that the 3DS of popular smartphone game Monster Strike would be released in Japan on December 17th. Developer mixi has now made an announcement via the game’s official website, confirming that release date.

The website also confirms that the game takes place in the same world as the upcoming anime series and that the game supports local 4-player wireless multiplayer and Streetpass functionality.

There are also several in-game goodies that you get when you buy the game at launch, including a Rainbow Medal (which allows you to catch rare monsters), several stat boosters and one item that lets you evolve on of your monsters. If you buy the retail version of the game, you also get a set of five stickers and one mascot plug (which you can plug into an earphone jack).

A Western release date for Monster Strike has not yet been confirmed.

Steam is the top-performing platform when it comes to Shovel Knight’s audience. However, Nintendo’s platforms are right behind.

During the Gaming Insiders event in San Francisco last week, Nathan Vella shared the breakdown of Shovel Knight’s audience. The game has seen 32 percent of its players on Steam, 30 percent on 3DS, 20 percent on Wii U, 14 percent on Sony platforms, and 4 percent on Xbox.

Vella noted that “Shovel Knight broke the impression that indies don’t sell so well on Nintendo”.
