We're starting to get into the thick of the summer of gaming announcements, and last night, Limited Run Games held its 2022 Showcase, highlighting a plethora of upcoming rare physical releases. Among those announcements was the physical release of 3DS of "the world's first Chase 'em up" Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D.
Released back in 2017, Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D, you get to go through 80 arcade-style levels and cause as much mischief as possible to find the recipe for immortality. It's fun and full of charm, and we absolutely loved it when it came out:
The physical release for Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D is up now on Limited Run Games' store for $34.99, and pre-orders will be opening at a later date. But the game's developer, Tanukii Studios, revealed something even more exciting.
Not only will the 3DS game be getting a physical rerelease, but an upcoming Anniversary Collection will contain both the 3DS sequel and the original DSi Ware game — Go! Go! Kokopolo.
This collection is very likely to be the last — or one of the last — physical 3DS releases for the system, so for collectors out there, this is one worth keeping an eye on. And it's a worthy celebration of Go! Go! Kokopolo's 10th anniversary!
Currently, the collection isn't listed on Limited Run Games' store, so you might want to follow Tanukii Studios on Twitter to find out when you can pre-order the collection.
If you missed yesterday's Limited Run Games Showcase, we've got a list of everything coming to Switch (3DS, N64, and SNES):
Will you be grabbing the Go! Go! Kokopolo Anniversary Collection? Let us know in the comments.

I'm curious how this will work, because they're promising a physical release of the DSiWare version.
Can they somehow load the DSiWare software onto a physical 3DS game card?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this one, I'm hoping that it's an open pre-order but that's going to be unlikely.
Not American. Can't get. Stupid region lock.
5 of the 6 "featured articles" at the top of the site are about Limited Run. It's embarrassing
@RainbowGazelle
That region lock isn't going to stop me.
@RupeeClock
The DSi games you can download from the 3DS eShop are setup like a 3DS game, but run in DSi mode when booted.
So any of these 3DS DSi games could easily be put on a cartridge.
@xiao7 it’s ok though because they’ll keep sending their ‘freebies’ to Nintendolife!
@RadioShadow
I don't believe there's been any record of 3DS game cards that boot into DSi mode, that would be a first and make this a very unique release.
It also gives hope for a 3DS physical release of the DSiWare version of Shantae Risky's Revenge.
@xiao7
Limited Run Games just held their "E3 Direct" so of course they will be in the news.
This is something I would LOVE to buy, but of course it's American Ntsc...hate it!
This "last 3ds game ever printed!" is such a novelty grift. Fragrant Story was hyped as such. People bought up Andro Dunos II for the same reason, and now there's this game. It's a pointless title bestowed on a game outside of the novelty.
@Coalescence To be fair to Fragrant Story, I highly doubt that little team had any knowledge of what LRG was planning. So I wouldn't call it a "grift". As of last week, FS was the last confirmed NA physical 3DS release.
Long live the 3DS!!!
@EVIL-C Except the developer did mention Nintendo telling him there was a group of 4 final 3DS releases:
1. Andro Dunos 2
2. Fragrant Story
3. Looks to be Go Go Kokopolo
4. Either the Go Go Anniversary or something else.
@Jeff2sayshi That's news to me. I can't possibly follow every update on every single release. Good to know. Thanks.
I guess someone here in the comments should mention what excellent games these are... Anyone? No? Too busy whining?
Oh all right then...
These games are excellent. The DSi ware original was one of the best games on that platform; charming, original, and challenging. Highly recommended to anyone!
Kokopolo Anniversary Collection sounds nice for an afternoon or few, but unfortunately I don't really have a 3DS anymore since I sold my old one
What?! This is cool!
