North American tank enthusiasts, mark 9th August in your diaries — Touch Battle Tank 3D is on its way to the 3DS eShop.
The arcade-style title has you taking control of your very own tank and blasting away any enemy forces that happen to be about. If you've ever played the Tanks! mini-game in Wii Play, you'll know roughly what to expect.
The surprisingly speedy tanks are shifted around with the Circle Pad, while precision aiming is assigned to the touch screen. 50 stages, plus a further 20 bonus levels and medals to earn, should keep you in the driving seat for a little while. There are also two types of tank to experiment with, Power or Speed. The latter sounds the most exciting; it can jump over mines and enemy fire.
Touch Battle Tank 3D will cost just $4.99 when it's released next month. We've added some screenshots to the media album below, and you can also visit its game page on Nintendo of America's website for a very thorough trailer that explains the gameplay.

too bad theres no survival mode but Im gonna pick it up anyway.
Greats puns live on!
Looks cool. I wish Nintendo would release the Tanks! minigame on the eShop along with some new levels. It's the only minigame that made WiiPlay worth the $10.
This game actually looks good,but sometimes looks can decieve.
Looks like the sequel to tanks in Wii Play we've all been waiting for. Might be worth picking up.
I have some hope for this one.
i'm a tank lover, but i don't know if i shoud get this game. i'll wait for the reviews. it kinda reminds me of vector tank 3D+ though
Just $5? Sounds good.
Will it tank?
/me waits for review
Me Too and I wish there was a Survival mode as well to see how long you would last. And also put a online leaderboard of your times.
What is Nintendo thinking? Can there ever come cool Games to Europe instant of America
I love Silver Star Japan's trailers lol, so much engrish! Game looks pretty cool, I might pick it up.
@runeacer74: Whatever happened to the Vector Tank game anyway?
On my wish list. I loved Wii Play Tanks, and although this game has no connection to it outside of the genré, it looks like it'll be good fun.
Looks Brilliant! But what about Online Multplayer? Can we have that?
By the Way Tanks! on Wii Play was a brilliant game!
I know it's a bit dissapointing, but since it was one of the earliest eShop releases (in Japan), it probably won't have online.
Still probably going to be a very fun game, though.
Not having multiplayer in this is sad. But still looks pretty good.
No multiplayer? No thanks. I will only mindlessly blow up my friends.
@SilverBaretta I wish i knew!
Haha, Table Top Tanks is gon' have it's own evil twin to compete with
I have a message to whoever made that trailer. You're winner! You are of grammar winning more than less good!
@Fabian
Europe is not that important for Nintendo it seems compared to Japan en US. Laak at the difference between the Eshops and an adapter or not with the 3DS XL.
"The surprisingly speedy tanks are shifted around with the Circle Pad, while precision aiming is assigned to the touch screen."
Why does it suck sooo much being left-handed for DS/3DS I really hate using abxy for controls instead of the stick (Thank God I have the CCP)
The 3D looks terrible in the trailer. It looks like you're just looking at a 2D image in 3D space.
@iphys, while that is true, you also got to take into account that this is an early eShop title that's made by a smaller dev.
It's probably a miracle that they're (Silver Star Japan) even able to bring it over here. It's understandable that they wouldn't have the funds to make it better than it's original release given how small they are (this goes for not being able to improve 3D, and lack of multiplayer).
u never know how good a game is going to be, so wait for reviews, by the way i have a gold meadle in tanks on wii play
i LOVED the tanks game on wii play, could never EVER beat it, but it was till fun. will be grabbing this asap
Oh man this looks like an insta-buy for sure, I just gotta wait for it to come to the land of Aus.
@Kohaku
thats why rpgs always are first in europe LOL
