News Nintendo Hypes 'eShop Heroes' in New Trailer
Get a load of that music
Just yesterday we posted a feature arguing that the 3DS eShop deserves big franchises, and that providing a variety of bite-sized download titles with recognisable names or neglected series could be a good thing for the platform. On the flip-side, however, Nintendo has used the store to introduce new characters and IPs to...
Feature One Year of the 3DS eShop
Happy birthday!
You might not have noticed with a little thing called E3 going on, but last week the Nintendo 3DS eShop turned one year old. Though the service started slowly, not even making it to the system's launch, it has morphed over the course of the last 12 months to become the decent digital portal that DSiWare and WiiWare should always have...

News Dillon's Rolling Western Out Now in Europe
On your marks
So that's why Dillon's Rolling Western didn't appear in the Nintendo Download for Europe this week — it's out today. The action tower defence game is out in the European 3DS eShop now. It costs £9.00/€10. Here's hoping North America gets the game after its own Nintendo Direct show, due to start in just over an hour.
About The Game
Dillon’s Rolling Western is a character driven action game with tower defense elements.
Armadillo ranger Dillon leaps into action at the touch of the stylus, using his rolling attack skills to defend frontier villages from waves of invading rock monsters. During the day, Dillon collects resources to build up defenses such as gun towers and defensive walls. At night, he battles the Grocks with the help of those defenses. The 3-D graphics bring the game’s Wild West setting to life. Dillon’s story unfolds as he and his partner, Russ, interact with the inhabitants of the many western villages they fight to save.
Features • 10 different villages, each with 3 days and nights of action.
- 22 different types of Grocks, from lowly Footgrocks to gigantic Ultimogrocks.
- Multiple strategies are possible, and you can re-play the stages to get a better time.
- Dillon gains additional attack abilities as he progresses through the game.
- Unique mix of character action and tower defense.

yay delay
I wonder what the new title means, hopefully not Jiro's name getting changed
Danm that means it should be summer 2012 for England
I can't wait.
Woah, I wasn't sure this was a mere download title from the video, it looks so deep and well done. I'm afraid of the price it'll have, though, look like they could stretch out the price to $10
How much? Does it use streetpass? Online? PLEASE FOR LOVE OF GOD TELL ME!!! xp
o wow it really is majoras mask all over again
thought it would be retail. nice!
gotta get this one before kid icarus comes out.
Did they reuse Wind Waker's engine? Has a bit of a Majora's Mask feel about it as well. Not that these are bad things...
THIS GAME IS EPIC
I REALLY WANT THIS GAME!!!! My Bday is on the 13th, So hopefully I get an e'Shop card!
Shame this hasn't been in sale in Europe, I would buy this in an instant if they dropped the price even a euro. Wink wink.
