Original Shantae hits eShop on June 20
A month from now, you’ll be able to buy cult Game Boy Color platformer Shantae — the first original property from WayForward, and the first release that got people to really start noticing the studio — on 3DS’s Virtual Console in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
WayForward is putting out so much on the 3DS this year: this release, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, Mighty Switch Force! 2, Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!, and Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby In 8-Bit Land. I wouldn’t be surprised if we heard more announcements for 2013 either.

Dang, Emmylou is coldhearted
Looks like Phillip stopped in his tracks after that statement, completely destroyed by Emmylou’s disapproval. Gotta step up your coat game, young’n.
I’ve mentioned a bunch already that Fire Emblem: Awakening, Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and Mario Kart 7 are all on sale for $30, but did you know that you can get Style Savvy: Trendsetters for under $20 right now?

Where we’re going, we don’t need official boxart
Because something like this works just fine. Don’t forget that preorders are now open at Amazon for the 3DS sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past!
And don’t forget about these still active deals either:
- Fire Emblem: Awakening - $29.99 (backordered, sidebar link)
- Super Mario 3D Land - $29.99
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - $29.99 (backordered, sidebar link)
- Mario Kart 7 - $29.99
- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate - $24.99 (backordered, sidebar link)
Kid Icarus: Uprising is also $31.99, which is a decent deal for a great game. Don’t forget that it comes with a banana stand.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s fortune teller
Katrina set up her tent in my town the other day and offered to tell me my fortune for a nominal fee. Now, I dont usually believe in all this astronomy nonsense or what have you, but I’m telling you, something weird happened there. I was floating in space for a second, and I saw an owl flying backwards, but there was no owl. And a faraway voice sang:
night so dark
where are you?
come back in my heart
so dark
so dark
I ran home and slipped into some hot pants. Also made sure my New Leaf character wore shorts that day.

Tiny Cartridge & Etrian Odyssey IV QR code
Etrian Odyssey IV owners, here’s one more quest you can send your party to complete in the game, if you don’t mind taking orders from some Tumblr blog’s mascot. Though you’ll need to have reached The Hall of Darkness (6th Maze) to access the quest, if you’re not at that point yet, you’ll have this whole weekend to fight your way there! :oP
I was supposed to post this forever ago, I know, but at least more of you will have played enough of the game to be able to unlock the quest now! Much thanks to @oliviactually and @kamiwoo for their help.

Nintendo Direct’s 3DS highlights
There was a minimal amount of 3DS news in this morning’s Nintendo Direct (you could say the same about interesting Wii U announcements), but I was happy to hear a couple minor but nice items about the eShop.
First, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons will sell for only $4.99 each during its first three weeks on the storefront (starting May 30). After that, the Game Boy Color releases will go for $5.99 each.
And there’s over a dozen more Game Gear titles coming to 3DS Virtual Console:
- Columns
- Crystal Warriors
- Defenders of Oasis
- Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
- G-LOC: Air Battles
- Shining Force II: The Sword of Hajya
- Sonic Blast
- Sonic Drift 2
- Sonic Labyrinth
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2
- Tails Adventure
- Vampire: Master of Darkness
The other 3DS announcements today:
Ace Attorney 5 demo
Just like it has for every Ace Attorney game, Capcom has put together a web demo of Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. And just like I have for every Ace Attorney game, I’m going to try to play this demo in Japanese because I CANNOT WAIT.
My Japanese is awful. This is a game that relies entirely on wordplay and careful reading. Have fun!

Welcome to Paradise
Just making sure people will feel welcome when they visit my Animal Crossing: New Leaf town.
We all need somewhere we can go and be happy and be ourselves and be silly if we want to. As the mayor here, that’s the kind of town I’m trying to build. There’s no judging here.

Sweet Shin Megami Tensei IV art
Ahead of Shin Megami Tensei IV’s release in Japan next week (where Famitsu just gave the 3DS game a 37/40, which probably means nothing or maybe something or whatever), Atlus posted these nice pieces from guest artists like Tomomi Kobayashi, Hideo Minaba, Enami Katsumi, and Mitsumi Inomata.
And over in North America, Atlus put out this new English trailer for the game:
The Starship Damrey delivers the HAM to eShop
This Guild02 horror/adventure is out in North America and Europe today, priced at $7.99. It’ll take you only 1-2 hours to get through, but that might be a plus to some people. Apparently if you’ve downloaded any Guild01 games in the past (they’re all on sale!), you’ll be able to unlock a bonus scenario.
If visual novels aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other new downloads you can check out — seriously this week is loaded, offering two 3DS Virtual Console titles and at least one quality eShop game. Wii U’s Virtual Console also went HAM, throwing out Super Ghouls’n Ghosts and Super Metroid.

2,000+ DC characters in Scribblenauts Unmasked
So Warner Bros. and 5th Cell announced this morning that they’re releasing a DC Comics-themed Scribblenauts game — featuring over 2,000 characters from the DC label — to 3DS, Wii U, and PC this fall.
The people you’d expect are in there: Superman, the Flash, 33 versions of Batman, 130 Green Lantern Corps. members, etc. I was really curious about whether anyone from DC’s Vertigo imprint would make it in the game, and I had a whole post here detailing how Scribblenauts Unmasked would handle those peeps, but I deleted it all because I didn’t want to get anyone in trouble! :oP
So, uh, enjoy this trailer after the break instead:
