Image & Form has confirmed plans to create a sequel to SteamWorld Dig. However, that’s not the next entry in the overall “SteamWorld” series.
On Twitter, Image & Form said that a brand new SteamWorld game will be released next. After this, the “Dig” sequel will begin development.
@2nihon cheers! sequel's coming, but not until after another SW game in between! 🙂 it'll be awesome!

A listing on Nintendo’s website confirms that Mach Rider will be the next 3DS Virtual Console release in North America. The game will be available tomorrow, April 10, for $4.99. You can check out the official page here.
Can you spot the changes in the graphic above? The two are mostly the same, though the North American artwork features a shorter hair style and a slightly more conservative outfit.
