Four Horses

Kid Tripp was brought to 3DS earlier in the year. Following the launch, Four Horses promised a Switch version as well.

Now we can say that Kid Tripp is coming to Switch next week, in Japan at least. The eShop lists the game for November 23 with Rainy Frog as its publisher.

Here’s a trailer:

Kid Tripp is arriving on the 3DS eShop next week, and Switch at some point in the future. Take a look at some off-screen footage ahead of the release below.

Kid Tripp has been given a release date on the 3DS eShop. In both North America and Europe, it’s scheduled next week.

Four Horses announced on Twitter today:


Kid Tripp is also planned for Switch. A release date for that version has not been announced at this time, however.

Four Horses put out a new 3DS-specific trailer for its autorunner Four Horses. The game, which is also planned for Switch, will release later this year. See the new trailer below.

Kid Tripp won’t just be a 3DS game. The platformer, confirmed for the portable system earlier this month, is now coming to Switch as well.

Here’s what developer Four Horses is saying about the Switch release:

“Lovingly recreated pixel by pixel, the Switch version will have all the levels from the original game with new control methods alongside the original “Hardcore” control mode for those who really like to challenge themselves.”

Kid Tripp originally started out as a mobile game. But later this year, Digger Dan publisher Four Horses will be bringing out a 3DS version.

Kid Tripp is a platform autorunner with 20 levels scattered across twenty levels and four themed worlds. The 3DS version intends to feature 60 frames per second and support for stereoscopic 3D.

Here’s a look at the game from its iOS release:

Digger Dan DX was pulled from the 3DS eShop back in July. First Star Software, who owns the Boulder Dash rights, asked Nintendo to remove Four Horses’ game. The two companies were thankfully able to settle all issues, and Digger Dan DX will now be returning to the eShop today.

Those who already own Digger Dan DX will find new content awaiting them. 25 new caves with gems and traps are included, and can be accessed for free.

Four Horses is also holding the following competition:

“To celebrate the re-launch, Four Horses have decided to hold a competition for the first player to get 125 gold stars in the game. The prize is a cheque for £250 (or similar value in your local currency) and the competition is open worldwide to anyone who has bought the game. Existing players do have a head start, but the new Bonus levels are tough enough to give new players a chance to catch up. For full details of the competition, check the Four Horses website http://www.fourhorses.co.uk”

Four Horses made it known recently that Digger Dan DX had been pulled from the 3DS eShop. An unfortunate situation had developed, and First Star Software (owner of the Boulder Dash rights) asked Nintendo for its removal. Many had thought that Digger Dan DX would be gone permanently, but it looks like that won’t be the case at all.

Here’s the latest from Four Horses:

I am happy to announce that I received an immediate response from First Star Software, Inc. having contacted them on Sunday, and we have already settled this issue to our mutual satisfaction. (In fact I’m thrilled with the terms.) I hope to get Digger Dan DX back on sale as soon as possible though, due to the re-submission processes with Nintendo, this may take a few months. Hopefully much less. (I don’t know yet.)

Definitely good to hear that it’s all been settled! When Digger Dan DX does return to the eShop, you’ll be the first to know.

Digger Dan DX only just launched a couple of months ago, but the game has been put in a very unfortunate situation. Due to a takedown notice from First Star Software, who holds the rights to Boulder Dash, Nintendo told developer that the title needs to be removed. Four Horses says it doesn’t have the money to fight the claim, so that basically means it’s the end for Digger Dan DX.

Four Horses said:

I’ve received notice from Nintendo this morning that Digger Dan DX is being pulled from both NOA and NOE eShops as they have received a takedown notice from First Star Software, owners of the rights to Boulder Dash.

I’ve not found details of the copyrights they have registered yet so am unable to determine what rights they think it has broken, but as far as I can tell, it is likely to be gameplay elements which I am pretty sure cannot be protected by copyright.

Regardless, Nintendo are pulling it (it is currently still on the NOE eShop, not sure about NOA), and I don’t have the money to fight them, so Digger Dan is no more.

We can confirm that Digger Dan DX has been removed if North America. It’s apparently still up in the game, but definitely not for very long. It’s a very unfortunate situation.
