Review The Legend of Kusakari (3DS eShop)
A Link to the Grass
Close your eyes for a moment and picture the scene. You find yourself in the midst of an epic battle – the sound of swords hitting shields surrounds you in every direction, great warriors are displaying the courage and spirit of 1,000 men as they fall for their cause, some random guy is sprinting around with the sole purpose of...

Video Check Out This New Footage of Azure Striker Gunvolt 2
Nearly 20 minutes of not-Mega Man
Inti Creates has had plenty of experience with developing official Mega Man games in the past, so it came as little surprise when the company finally ended up doing its own take on the formula with Azure Striker Gunvolt. The action platformer still stands as one of the best games available on the 3DS eShop, and it's...
Review Psycho Pigs (3DS eShop)
This Little Piggy went Psycho
Initially released in 1987 and famed for its controversial ad campaign, arcade title Psycho Pigs now makes a return to 3DS in this remake by Bergsala Lightweight. The premise of the game is to beat up other pigs using bombs, without getting injured yourself. Unlike, say, Bomberman, you are free to roam around the arena...
News Legend of Kusakari Devs on Nintendo's Reaction to Zelda Parallels
The Big N approves
Some of you may be aware of The Legend of Kusakari, a bizarre upcoming game about a humble man whose one mission is to trim back all the grass on battlefields so heroes can fight without tripping over anything. It's obviously taken heavy inspiration from the Legend of Zelda series, with a similar logo and a visual style that apes...
Pulse Pounding Prequel
There's a scene in the film The Expendables 2 in which main character Barney Ross - portrayed by perennial badass Sylvester Stallone - revs up a motorcycle to send it careening unmanned up a ramp and through the windshield of a helicopter. This is the vibe that Gunslugs wants to convey. As far as 8-bit run-and-gun shooters go,...
News VVVVVV Returns To The North American 3DS eShop
All patched up
Terry Cavanagh's punishing platformer VVVVVV has returned to the North American 3DS eShop after a prolonged absence.

News SEGA is Putting on a 3D Classics Sale in North America
Nine games, half off
Though SEGA's success in the console industry was relatively rocky after its 16-bit days, the Genesis was certainly nothing to be sniffed at in its heyday. The console played host to dozens of classic titles, many of which have received excellent 3D remakes on the 3DS over the past few years. For those of you that missed some...
News The Battle Cats POP! Has Been Removed From the 3DS eShop in Europe
Another hacker exploit?
The 3DS has been subject to several homebrew vulnerabilities over the last few months, with games like Citizens of Earth, VVVVVV, and SmileBASIC all having to be removed and reuploaded to the eShop. Hackers have found a way to run unsigned code on the 3DS utilising a pre-existing entry point, which could be found in certain...
News A Nicalis Sale is Live on the North American 3DS and Wii U eShops
Get 'em while they're hot
With summer slowly but surely drawing to a close, many young gamers are no doubt scrambling to clear out as much of the backlog as possible before school resumes in fall. Unfortunately, Nicalis has just put on a sale on the eShop in North America, so that backlog could be in great danger of being lengthened even more. The...
Review Power Disc Slam (3DS eShop)
Sluggish slams and dodgy discs
First, there was Pong, and lo the people deemed it to be worthy. Since then it has been immortalised as a test of skill for two players, two gladiators going head to head and shooting for goals and glory. Next, the early nineties would reveal the natural evolution of this classic challenge - Windjammers. A competition...

News SmileBASIC is Back on the North American 3DS eShop After a One Month Absence
Previously removed after Homebrew exploit in July
In July we reported that SmileBASIC had been taken off the 3DS eShop as a result of a Homebrew exploit targeting the app. As has been the case with multiple games, once Nintendo became aware of an exploit using the app it removed it promptly, leaving Smileboom with the task of producing an update to...
News Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure May Be One to Watch on the 3DS eShop
Heading to PAX West, trailer on the way

Published by Mastiff, it's a 3DS version of a game that won a lot of plaudits on PSP and PC in the past. A 3D...
News The Latest Super Sentai 3DS Tie-In Tries to Make Tile Matching Exciting
With lots of enthusiastic 'Haaaaaaa' attacks
This writer vaguely remembers Power Rangers on TV as a child in the '90s, and was surprised to recently discover that the series is still going, and there's a big-budget movie on the way in 2017 - some things just never go out of fashion. The series originated, back in the day, as a localisation (with...
News Pokémon Shuffle Has Passed 6 Million Downloads on 3DS
Oh yeah, that other Pokémon game…
Long before Pokémon GO was everywhere, Pokémon Shuffle was released on Nintendo 3DS to a curious audience. Free to play games aren't too common on the dedicated portable, so it came as with a somewhat different flavor to your typical 3DS game. We thought the in-app purchases were a bit much, but found it to be...
Review Puzzle Labyrinth (3DS eShop)
A-maze-ingly strange
Without a plot, purpose, or any real explanation for what exactly is going on, Puzzle Labyrinth on 3DS lives up to its title by unceremoniously dumping the player into a complex maze filled with monsters, traps and strange riddles. Your only hope of escape lies squarely in your ability to complete each puzzle and unlock a...

News Legend of Kusakari Releases in the West on 25th August
Link would be proud
If you've played any conventional Zelda games, then you no doubt understand Link's sisyphean struggle to battle the long grasses of Hyrule. Considering that grass contains rupees, hearts, magic, and other helpful items, it's always worth your while to go and clear out a patch of grass just because. Evidently, Librage really likes...

News Citizens of Earth Has Returned to the 3DS eShop
Passed the residency test
Back in mid-May Citizens of Earth was taken off the 3DS eShop as a result of it being used for a homebrew exploit. As per Nintendo's current policy, exploits released online are rapidly (often within 24 hours) counteracted by the removal of any apps or games that are being utilised. The developers in question are,...

Review The Battle Cats POP! (3DS eShop)
Almost paw-fect
If the success of Neko Atsume proves anything, it's that cats are popular and will not be losing their appeal any time soon. That said, The Battle Cats POP! is not your regular kitty game, incorporating tower defence strategy and delivering something truly unique. Battle Cats POP! lacks a storyline and throws you into the craziness...

News Power Disc Slam Spins Closer to Release on 3DS
New trailer shows it off
As reported late last year, Power Disc Slam is the debut game from UK based Chequered Cow Games, which is run by former Argonaut man David McEwen. This 3DS title is, in spirit at least, a modern take on Neo Geo title Windjammers, albeit with modern features and 60fps stereoscopic 3D. The game now h
Review Rubik's Cube (3DS eShop)
Fits in the pocket more comfortably than the original cube, at least
The 3DS eShop has been host to some quirky releases, and a virtual portrayal of the Rubik's Cube certainly fits the bill. Cypronia aims to give you the puzzling experience on the go and at home with a dual release, no doubt hoping that nostalgia and a taste for a challenge will...

It's still hip to be square
Life may be good when you're a ninja block, but the original BOXBOY! possibly ended up doing a bit too much sneaking around when it released last year. The HAL Laboratory puzzle-platformer went completely under the radar for some people, never gaining widespread attention or shaking the eShop up with its monochromatic...

Just recently Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva appeared in a European Nintendo Download Update, purchasable as a download for €3.99 / £3.59.

Scan in the NFC-enabled figure and you'll be able to face off against him in a one-on-one battle...
Review Infinite Dunamis (3DS eShop)
Infinitely Decent
Kemco has found a comfortable niche on the eShop; over the past few years, the publisher has been steadily putting out budget JRPGs ported from mobile, from Grinsia to Justice Chronicles. They vary in quality, but their mission remains the same: to provide low-priced, nostalgia-tinged JRPG goodness. As the latest in the lineup,...

Known as Protect Me Knight 2 in Japan, this one arrives in North America on 21st July and will cost $12.99. That's an...
Review Conveni Dream (3DS eShop)
An inconvenient truth
When I was a child, I once told my mother that I wanted to work at a gas station when I grew up. I don't know why this was my aspiration at the time, and I don't remember my mother's response, but I never did live up to that goal. I went on to do other things: I went to college, worked a few different retail and customer...

News Faux-Retro Survival Horror Back In 1995 64 Shuffles Menacingly Towards The Nintendo 3DS
Party like it's 1995
Japanese indie title Back In 1995 launched on Steam in April, and whisks you back in time to the '90s when consoles like the Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 ruled the roost. This 3D action game uses deliberately outdated visuals to recreate the authentic feel of the period, and at this year's BitSummit event in Japan, developer...

News Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 Launches in North America on 30th September
Alongside a physical double pack that has both games
Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 was announced a while back for Japan, but a release in other territories was subject to doubt for a time.

News Axiom Verge Creator is Looking into a 3DS Port
There's technical hurdles, but it's not impossible
