This past Thursday, Circle Entertainment brought Koi DX to the Wii U eShop. Take a look at some footage below.

We now have an European release date for the 3DS eShop title Gourmet Dream. You’ll be able to download the game on January 19th. Check out the eShop listing for yourself in the tweet below.

 

With Koi releasing on the North American Wii U eShop next week, Circle Entertainment prepared an introduction trailer for the game today. View it below.

Circle Entertainment still has plenty of titles lined up on 3DS. Already, the publisher is planning over ten games for the eShop.

One of these is Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers, created by Arc System Works. This should be out in the west sometime during Q1.

Circle Entertainment has put out a ton of games on the eShop over the years, so it’s no surprise that the company is interested in Switch. The publisher did actually attempt to apply for a Switch licence. However, CEO Chris Chao says “Nintendo wants us to be patient.”

That being said, Chao has some concerns about Switch. Since it supports engines like Unity and Unreal, developers will be able to easily make titles, and he’s unsure if the quality level can be maintained. Smaller developers surviving with a lot of competition could also be problematic.

Chao told Nintendo Life:

“Right now we are focusing on 3DS, Steam and PlayStation (probably VR); we tried to apply for a Switch license and Nintendo wants us to be patient. Personally I am a little bit worried about Switch (not the hardware), but I’m still willing to work on the platform.

If you want to know my worries, I have to say that if this platform can easily port the likes of Unity and Unreal, for gamers that’s cool to see so many titles come out, but how can we make sure game quality will stay at a high level? Maybe some indies will port 5-10 titles in 2 months; it’ll be hard for small developers to survive on the platform with such huge competition.”

Circle Entertainment released over 50 titles last year. In 2017, the company is looking to cut back a bit. Circle is looking to prepare 30 new games, which will be of higher quality.

One title we can likely expect to see is Sabaku no Nezumidan. That one was published in Japan last September, and comes from Arc System Works.


The trailer for Sabaku no Nezumidan below should give you a good idea about the gameplay:

Circle Entertainment promised that Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D is still on the way even though the game was announced over four years ago. We almost didn’t believe it, but now we have concrete proof of its existence.

Circle Entertainment has finally posted the very first screenshots from Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D. You can view them in the gallery below.

If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about with Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D, the original title on DSiWare was quite good, but went under the radar. Since games on the 3DS eShop tend to get more recognition, hopefully this new release will as well.
