It’s almost time. We’re just a few days away from the North American release of a game with the name that makes us think dirty thoughts, but actually is an RPG that plays like Persona and has an awesome demo that came out recently (run-on sentences FTW). And to that we say this: Thank you, Atlus. Thanks you for bringing us Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars, available on April 15th for $39.99 on the eShop and at retail.
That’s not all that’s coming to the 3DS this week. LEGO The Hobbit has released on the eShop for $29.99. This will be a LEGO’d version of the first two Hobbit films. In addition, Mach Rider will release on the 3DS Virtual Console. Also releasing are Boxzle, Governor of Poker, and Atlantic Quest. Atlantic Quest will release April 15th.
Over on the Wii U side, not much is going on in terms of releases. The biggest releases are that of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror and WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ to the Virtual Console, both priced at $6.99. The only other release is the downloadable game My Exotic Farm.
But that’s not to say that nothing else is happening on the eShop. Both the Wii U and 3DS will be having sales on select games. On the Wii U, DuckTales: Remastered will be half off from now until April 17th. In addition, the game My Farm will receive a permanent price drop to $4.99. Over on the 3DS, two sales will be taking place starting on Saturday, April 12th. The first is a 50% off sale for Escape from Zombie City. The second is a sale of select G-Style games, which include Crazy Construction, Chain Blaster, Undead Bowling, and Jump Trial Supreme. Both sales end on April 27th.
