Following a Nintendo Direct last September, Arc System Works’ Sabaku no Nezumidan landed on the Japanese 3DS eShop. Now it’s heading west.

According to a listing on Nintendo’s website, Sabaku no Nezumidan has been localized under the name “Of Mice And Sand”. Circle Entertainment is putting it out in North America this coming Thursday, June 1. Pricing is set at $7.99.

Here’s a brief overview:

“By ordering the mice crew living in the Desert ship, you can build facilities on the ship and make food for breeding the mice with various items. With the development of the ship, more mice will join in and they can accomplish more jobs. Don’t let them starve and make them rich.

Your final goal is to reach the other side of the desert and find the legendary land of gold to the east, El Dorado!”

It’s about a “return to roots” and features familiar systems through which you’ll use simple controls and command selections. The staple “Tobacco System” is back, which is used when you want to put all your hints in order.

Confirmed characters include:

Saburou Jinguuji / Jake Hunter (voiced by Juurouta Kosugi)
Yoko Misono (voiced by Mamiko Noto)
Sanzou Kumano (voiced by Fumihiko Tachiki)

Jake Hunter: Ghost of the Dusk is currently 80 percent complete.

Cube Creator DX is only a 3DS title for now. Arc System Works will be bringing the title to Japan at the end of this week.

Even though Cube Creator DX has only been made for 3DS, a Switch version could be in the cards. Kodomo Shimbun caught up with director Mr. Shoji, who indicated that it’s under consideration. It’s far from an announcement of course, but with Arc System Works already supporting Nintendo’s new platform, it’d hardly be a shock if it were to happen.
