Three new games coming to 3DS.

Published 2013-04-17

It's all about Nintendo this afternoon, a statement confirmed by the announcement of three new 3DS games coming to Europe and North America. The games are being released over here by Ni No Kuni and Professor Layton devs, Level 5.

The trio of titles, previously only released in Japan as part of the GUILD02 collection, have been created by leading Japanese developers with the mandate to create new and exciting gameplay experiences. All three games are heading to Nintendo's handheld, pricing and release details have yet to be announced, although we do know that they'll be landing exclusively on the eShop as digital downloads.

The Starship Damrey

"In the game, players awaken to discover that they are trapped in a Cold Sleep capsule aboard the titular Starship Damrey, with no memory of who they are or how they got there. With no tutorials, explanations, or hints provided, the game was created with the intent that self-discovery and experimentation be an integral part of the experience. An inconceivable truth awaits those willing to discover it."

The Starship Damrey, a sci-fi adventure/horror game developed by Kazuya Asano and written by Takemaru Abiko, is joined by Keiji Inafune's Bugs vs. Tanks!, as well as Kaz Ayabe's Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale.

As an incentive to pick them up, if any were needed, those who already have save data for Liberation Maiden, Crimson Shroud and Aero Porter will get access to exclusive bonus content (luckily, if you don't have them already these games are on sale from April 18 through to May 30. Liberation Maiden and Crimson Shroud are £4.49 and Aero Porter is now £2.69).

Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale

"A Tokyo-life simulation game where players will take the role of a young boy named Sohta who lives where the giant monsters from the TV shows of Japan's 1970s come to life every Friday. In this rustic town of tranquil days and idyllic scenery, there lies a nostalgic tale sure to warm your heart."

"After the success of bringing Liberation Maiden, Crimson Shroud and Aero Porter to North America and Europe last year, we are excited to bring the latest games in the series to the rest of the world with the participation of three new creators," said President and CEO of Level 5, Akihiro Hino.

"This series was created to allow top creators to rise to the challenge of bringing innovative and experimental ideas to life as new gaming experiences. Delivering these avant-garde creations via digital distribution is also an incredible opportunity for us."

Featuring tanks pulled straight from the history books, players can customize the body, turret, and paint to obliterate the bugs in their own style."</bild>
