In Nintendo's quirky pre-E3 Nintendo Direct Micro, it announced LBX: Little Battlers eXperience - just called Little Battlers eXperience in Europe - for the West; based on the anime series, you build and customise miniature robots to fight on your behalf. Add in local multiplayer and you have a candidate for a dark horse success story on the 3DS.
Confirmed for 21st August in North America, at the time Nintendo of Europe provided a 'November' window. In a fresh tweet today it's now confirmed that it'll actually head to the region on 4th September, chopping a couple of months off the initial announcement.
As this is coming out of Japan it does emphasize local multiplayer battles - no online - which is a pity, but this will surely appeal to fans of the TV show and some others looking for silly mini-robot fun.
Are you tempted to pick this up later in the year?

No interest in the cartoon, but I'll be keeping an eye on reviews for this as it looks quite a bit like Custom Robo.
Keeping an eye on it, along with Yo-Kai Watch.
The lack of online certainly hurts, but I'll certainly get it if there is enough content in the single player.
@DarthNocturnal @Peach64 I honestly would love to see a new Custom Robo game. It was one of my favorite games on the GameCube.
I usually don't play games about cartoons that I don't watch, but since the reminds me of Custom Robo I'll definitely keep my eye on it.
I love series like Custom Robo and Gotcha Force, I doubt I'll have an hard time loving LBX.
Can't wait for it
@DarthNocturnal I am utterly shocked that there hasn't been an new custom robo toy to life game, I mean its a perfect fit
Is this not just medabots take 2!!! Looks a lot like the program I watched as a child. I think it had a few games on the gba which were OK. So I'll keep an eye on this one.
September is fine but i do feel disappointed that Europe is not getting the game at the same month/day as america but i understand why LEVEL 5 and nintendo release the game in europe in September 4, beside, Europe get the LBX game few week after the NA release and boy i feel excited about this game, i seen the LBX toy review and the anime on a website(eng dub) as well as danball senki W and danball senki wars and i like the series a lot! i cannot wait for LBX 3ds game to release in Europe!
