PSA: Dillon's Rolling Western quietly released today photo

In case you missed it, we reported on a metric sh*t ton of 3DS release dates today. But you may have glossed over one pretty big detail -- Dillon's Rolling Western, the tower defense/action hybrid, is out right now on the 3DS eShop.

Dillon is a badass armadillo cowboy that prefers not to use guns -- instead, he (what else?) rolls his enemies into submission. In addition to featuring a bona-fide badass, the game also has the added benefit of being pretty fun. Along with the release of the PlayStation Vita, can I just declare Februrary 22nd "National Portable Day"?

eShop is really becoming a boon for the 3DS. I've already spent a decent amount of money on it this year, and I don't even have Pushmo, Mighty Switch Force, Mutant Mudds, or several of the other solid titles that have come out recently.

This February was a good month for Portables all around.

Ever since the release of the eShop, I've played more digital games than actual 3DS retail releases.

eShop came out of nowhere and surprised me. Since when did Nintendo do online stores right? Yet some of the best games I played this year and last year were eShop games. Pushmo, Mutant Mudds, Sakurai Samurai, Mighty Switch Force... I have more eShop games than actual 3DS games, and I don't even care.

Couple that with the free Zelda: Four Swords and my 20 Ambassador games, and my 3DS is a powerhouse portable right now.

Here's hoping they can keep up the quality.

Heard that controls suck at first bit you get used to it. Lefties are screwed. Other than that, I've heard very positive things and look forward to grabbing it.

I really want to download this, but I already got a bunch of other 3DS games I need to get through first. Definitely getting this later.

This game literally came out of nowhere. Not that I think it won't sell on its own merit but I really think a video would help those who are more visually stimulated, like myself, who would -maybe- be on the fence about getting this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir5Raml8WtA.

Amazing. Nintendo made this?? Amazing. I spent my first $10 on Sakura Samurai last week(well worth it) so now I need to get some more eShop funds asap!

Quietly? They fucking described the game and announced it during their Nintendo Direct stream just this morning.

Quietly... pfff.

I love Nintendo, and I knew about the Nintendo Direct, which was only announced yesterday.

And I slept through it.

Woke up at 9:30 scrambling all over to catch all the info from all 3 NDs.
So I do kind of see it as "quietly announced" myself. ^_^;

Take a look at the game before you judge it. It's not just tower defense.
