Activision is one of the few third-party companies that hasn’t really supported the eShop in the past. For whatever reason, the publisher’s retail releases haven’t been made digitally for the most part.
Perhaps that will be changing soon though. Listings have been discovered on the eShop for games like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (3DS) and Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (Wii U). Maybe Activision is finally looking into bringing some of its older games to the eShop?
Retro City Rampage was once considered for the DS. Developer Vblank Entertainment shared a couple of Vine clips, which show a prototype that was made several years ago.

Retro City Rampage did eventually make its way to a Nintendo handheld. The game launched for 3DS earlier this year.
You know how these things go. There aren’t major spoilers here or anything, but to be safe, we’ll post the news after the break!
Ittle Dew’s European release is just on the horizon. Creator Joel Nyström, writing on Twitter, mentioned that the game has now passed through certification. That means a release date will be shared in the near future.
Nyström said:
Good news everyone, Ittle Dew is through certification in the EU eShop! When I have press codes in my hand, I'll announce a release date.

Ittle Dew is already available on the North American Wii U eShop. It launched in May.
