Engine Software announced today that they are bringing the original Gunslugs to the Nintendo 3DS eShop.

Last year Engine Software published the chaotic, frantic and heavily stylized 2D shooter Gunslugs 2 on the 3DS eShop. The game, created by developer OrangePixel, was the sequel to Gunslugs. It hit the 3DS eShop last October.

Based on the community feedback for Gunslugs 2, the 3DS release of Gunslugs will feature leaderboards.

Gunslugs be released on the 3DS eShop in the next few weeks, though the exact release date has not been finalized. The game will cost $1.99 USD.
