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.

I was surprised on Sunday morning. Knowing that I would have to venture to EB Games for this month’s Pokémon I popped in my copy of Pokémon X and went to the recieve gift option anyway. And to my surprise I got a gift.
Turns out thr Pokémon Company, in celebration of the debut of Pokemon the Series: XYZ, for a short time, you can get three powerful Legendary Pokémon from the Kalos region — Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde — via Nintendo Network!
Not only that, the Xerneas and Yveltal you’ll receive are Shiny, making them incredibly rare, especially for a Legendary Pokémon! These Pokémon are all Lv. 100, and know their signature attacks as well as other powerful moves.

The second round of DLC maps for Fire Emblem Fates is on the way, with the first round arriving next week.
Starting May 5th, the first map, I: In Endless Dreams, can be downloaded for only $0.49 USD, with subsequent maps launching weekly until June 9th for $1.99 USD each. As with before fans that want to automatically receive each new map as it releases can do so by purchasing Map Pack 2 for $7.99 USD. As an added incentive there a significant savings for purchasing Map Pack 2 as the content would run you more than $10 USD if purchased individually.
Unlike the contents of Map Pack 1, the stages included in Map Pack 2 tell an ongoing story.
Across dimensions, other versions of the Hoshidan and Nohrian children are under attack. Born and raised in the Deeprealms, these fledgling warriors must now rise up to save themselves and their parents as they unravel the mystery of their adversaries. In this six-map series, units leveled up in the main game cannot lend support. Players must devise a strategy using a fresh team to reap the rewards, but only if all units survive.

RPG fans looking for their fix from the Shin Megami Tensei series will get their next chance to check out a new entry in the long running franchise with the release of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse on the Nintendo 3DS this summer.
Today in a press release Atlus USA announced that players who pre-order the game or pick up a 1st print copy on launch will get a little extra bonus with their physical copy of the game – a set of 3 metal pins inspired by the game.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse’s story overlaps with the events of 2013’s Shin Megami Tensei IV but players will not have had to played the original game to understand the events in Apocalypse, however returning players will see some familiar faces.
In their press release Atlus USA highlighted several key gameplay features. They are as follows:
- Divine Intrigue– Choose between peace or anarchy while being a pawn in the gods’ chess game.
- Combat Partners– Hunting demons is dangerous, so count on some backup! Alongside the standard three demons, players will be able to rely on one of seven partners to help win battles.
- Oodles of Demons– Be on your guard because Tokyo is infested with a series record 450+ demons to fight, fuse, or recruit.
- Revamped Demon Fusion– Demons will have affinities for certain skills, so players can better plan the outcome of fusions.
- Classic SMT Combat– Prospective Hunters will exploit weaknesses, boost attributes, and unlock skill bonuses with the returning Press Turn and Smirking systems.
