Kristin Reed (Modojo): The download scene isn't exactly lacking in retro shooters to get all wistful about, but it's tough finding one to champion. If it's not just a tired re-issue (hello Xevious! I didn't see you there!), then it's probably such a slavish rehash. Thankfully EnjoyUp's 99Bullets is one of the few to buck this sorry trend.
"Arc System Works, Circle Entertainment and EnjoyUp Games today announced that 99Bullets will be released on Wednesday 30th May 2012 by Nintendo of Japan on the eShop and DSiWare™ service." -- Wiiloveit.com (Official Press Release)
The studio behind the niche classic 99 Bullets has announced a sequel, featuring Prince of Persia-style time bending. Well worth taking a look, these titles show that the DSi and 3DS shouldn't be underestimated as a format with intriguing downloadable indie games.
Get ready to go deep behind enemy lines in Xevious as this intense Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) classic gets revamped in 3D for Nintendo 3DS. This week also sees the release of Jagged Alliance, Game & Watch Gallery and more for Nintendo’s Nintendo DS family of consoles.
Xevious looks alright I guess in 3D.. there's a 3D video on the E-Shop of it.
Thanks, I watched the trailer just now.
Looks good, I'd like to give it a go but £5.40?! That's twice the price it should be.
cmon nintendo, bring out the classics. mario land 2, mega man games and more. PLEEEAAASSSSEEE
these updates are getting worse. I want original games!!!! Virtual Console would be cool if it had more games and better games from more systems. GBA, GBC, GB, Game Gear, and there are so many more that I'm not remembering. Nintendo! Sign some contracts and make some deals to get better software to download. For the summer that's what will save the 3DS untill the holidays.
