Captain Viridian isn't lying

When VVVVVV hit the North American eShop just before the New Year, European gamers could only look on with envy. The platform puzzler that started life as an indie PC game received an excellent 8/10 in our VVVVVV review, adding to the growing list of high-quality titles on the 3DS download service.

It seems that Europeans may not have to wait much longer, with publisher Nicalis confirming on Twitter that it has been granted an all-important PEGI rating:

Looks like we've got our PEGI rating!!! We're getting the file ready for NOE submission.

With the title having already been released in North America, let's hope that Nicalis will also resolve the error with the Flip Mode in the original release: we'll keep a lookout for news of an update.
