The Legend of Dark Witch was a bit of a surprise on the 3DS eShop, with the action platformer proving to be a solid addition to the store; we gave it a recommendation in our review. Publisher CIRCLE Entertainment has now confirmed some key details around the sequel, including the fact it's arriving in North America very soon - it lands on 17th December in the region at a price of $6.99; the European release is slated for February 2016.
Developed by INSIDE SYSTEM, The Legend of Dark Witch 2 will feature the same core action platforming gameplay, yet have eight stages to take on; replayability will no doubt come in the form of acquiring collectibles once again. There are tweaks to the mechanics, some of which are confirmed in the press release extract below.
- Increased number of stages to choose from
- Allows finer customization for player stats using "Tres"
- "Technical skills" can be customized not only to increase power, but add abilities as well
- New "Forbidden" items added for a wider variety of game play
CIRCLE will also be releasing four 3DS HOME Themes on 17th December in North America based on the first game; these will be $0.99. The publisher originally wanted to release more, but confirmed in recent weeks that a four theme limit was imposed by Nintendo.
Are you tempted by this one? Check out the trailer below and let us know.

Will definitely check it out.
Got the first one on a sale and I got a ton of playtime out of it. Very solid Megawoman game.
Legend of Dark Witch was really quite good. It felt satisfying and was nice to have a platformer not necessarily based on the Mario model. Although it was set up in a similar manner to Mega Man, it reminded me more of Wonder Boy, or perhaps other 16-bit platformers from the early 1990s.
Definitely getting this one. First one was great.
Loved the first one, translation issues aside. Grabbing it as soon as it's available tomorrow.
Loved the first, will be getting the second. Probably a theme as well.
Don't too much about these games but looks very good n fun.
Action? Platformer? And here I thought it had more similarities with an adventure/rpg kind of game, silly me. The "Legend" in the title must have swayed me...
Hopefully they bettered up the translation.
I will more ththan likely pick it up. The first ne was decent enough but it was no gunman clive:P
