Post by: NWR_Neal on March 06, 2012, 10:56:09 AM

Punch-Out!! and Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH! are bringing exclamation points to the eShop this week in North America as well.

Punch-Out!! and Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH! are slated to launch on eShop in North America on March 8. Additionally, Nintendo detailed their upcoming eShop line-up, which includes three Game Gear titles and new games such as Ketzal's Corridors, Zombie Slayer Diox, Arc Style Soccer!! 3D, and Colors! 3D. Also, a demo of Rhythm Thief is coming out on April 19. Unfortunately, we still don't know when Rhythm Thief is coming out in North America.

The three Game Gear titles (Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, Shinobi, and Dragon Crystal) are coming out on March 15, which is the same day that they are coming out in Europe.

Ketzal's Corridors is the sequel to ThruSpace. It is already out in Japan, and is also coming to Europe soon. It has no set release date, but is coming "soon."

Zombie Slayer Diox, from UFO Interactive, does have a release date, though. It's coming out on March 22. The title is a rhythm game that stars a samurai guitarist who has to time his button presses to slay zombies.

Arc Style Soccer!! 3D is coming out sometime in March or April. It's a soccer game, which came out at eShop launch in Japan, that features camera functionality and wireless multiplayer. Colors! 3D, which is a 3D drawing application, is coming out in April.

Mr. Dream?  Isn't he the guy who has that tattoo from the Hangover 2 and likes biting ears?  I may be thinking of someone else.

If you notice, I didn't make any mention in the news story about that Mr. Dream character. There is only one version of Punch-Out on the NES as far as I'm concerned, and the star of that bit a dude's ear off.

I don't think I even have that cartridge any more.  I sold a bunch of NES games for peanuts right before college.  By this point, I would have enjoyed having those games still around rather than having had that money, the use of which is long since forgotten.

I don't know how to feel about Wario Land not being on that list. I'm ready to start an ExciteStrike/Operation Rainfall campaign about the lack of that game. Europe's getting the Game Boy Kid Icarus this week, so it's looking like we'll be two prominent Game Boy games behind Europe. I hope Reggie gets fired over this.
