Well, WHO DOESN'T remember every word about BOMB MONKEY?
:D
There is a lot of stuff that the publisher and developer have to do to prepare for an overseas launch, even with digital releases. It's not as easy as you may think.

Bomb Monkey will hit the eShop next week
Remember when I told you that Bomb Monkey would be out "hopefully in Q2 2012"? Well it looks like there's nothing to worry about, as the game will finally be gracing the eShop next Thursday, June 28th, for $4.99 (nice!). For those who aren't in the know, Bomb Monkey is a block-based puzzle game similar to Wario's Woods or Super Puzzle Fighter, and it requires the 3DS to be tilted to the side to play. Sadly, this date is for the US only, as a European release date is still "TBA". If you remember how long it took Nintendo to start getting Mutant Mudds out there, you're aware that this process could take months. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
