SmileBASIC’s overseas release still in the works
It’s been a very long time since we last heard about the western version of SmileBASIC (otherwise known as Petite Computer 3). The overseas release was announced last summer, but we still have yet to see the app on the North American or European 3DS eShops.
There’s some good news and bad news. On the bright side, SmileBASIC is still on track to launch in North America and Europe. Unfortunately, developer SmileBoom is unsure as to when the app will be available here. SmileBASIC has been continuously updated in Japan, and once that’s completely done and over with, SmileBoom’s attention will shift its attention to localization.
You’ll find a full update from SmileBoom about SmileBASIC below.
Last summer we officially announced that it would be coming in Spring this year. However, we decdied to delay a release of the overseas version on purpose while we were doing the localization work pretty well. Why? We decided to introduce some great new features into the Japanese version and it will be Ver.3.2. As soon as the development of the Japanese version is completed, we will prepare the overseas version based on the same codebase. What does mean to you? So you will not be confused between the Japanese version and the overseas one. This is the reason why we are not release the overseas version yet.
We all understand you are wondering when it comes out and some of you are disappointed or frustrated by seeing no updates from us.
We apology that we were not giving you updates accordingly. We are fully commited to deliver the best version ever for our fans outisde Japan.
Please be patient. We are working very hard now and it is coming on the way to you very soon.
As soon as the release date is decided we will make an announcement on our official Web and Twitter.
Thank you for your support!
