Japanese Nintendo downloads: Sutte Hakkun, Aqualiving, Hidden 3D Shapes
This week’s sole Virtual Console release in Japan marks the debut of a beloved DS developer. The Super Famicom puzzle game Sutte Hakkun, originally created for Nintendo’s Satellaview satellite service, is the first game by Indies Zero, who would go on to develop Retro Game Challenge for Namco Bandai. The game itself is a cutesy Lode Runner-type puzzler, in which a character creates and destroys blocks to reach rainbow fragments distributed throughout a level.
On DSiWare, another interesting puzzle game is available: Rittai Kakushi E Atta Kore Da, the game that uses the camera for that eye-catching 3D effect.

Japanese DSiWare game uses camera to create illusion of depth
We’ve seen the DSi’s camera used as a tilt sensor a couple of times, but Rittai Kakushi E Atta Kore Da (something like Hidden 3D Shapes: There it Is) does something new with it: using the camera’s motion sensing to create the illusion of a 3D space, which you explore by moving the DS and changing perspective.
The game itself involves searching these 3D environments for hidden objects. In the level shown in the trailer after the break (which you really should watch to figure out what the hell we’re talking about), you’re looking for items that, when viewed from a certain perspective, arrange themselves into letters.
Rittai Kakushi E Atta Kore Da will be out in Japan on DSiWare March 3.

DSiWare screens and trailers from Nintendo Media Summit
There wasn’t as much DSiWare stuff on display at Nintendo Media Summit as there was WiiWare, but Nintendo did announce three new games. Photo Dojo is Japan’s Photo Fighter X, the bizarre two-player fighting game made out of your photographs. Metal Torrent, as you may have heard, is a localized version of Aa! Mujou Setsuna, a vertical shooter from Arika.
X-Scape (above), fascinatingly, is a super-stylish first-person tank game from Q-Games, a sequel to the vintage Game Boy game X. You can see screens and video of all of them after the break.

OFLC rates two new games by Chibi Robo, Art Style dev
Two mysterious new games from a known DSiWare developer have been rated by Australia’s OFLC. Skip, creator of most of the Art Style games — as well as Chibi-Robo! — is named as the author of both Light Trax and Penta Tentacles, with Nintendo as publisher.
Though no specific platform is named for either, Skip’s recent output has been targeted entirely at the DS, with LOL and a Japan-only Chibi-Robo sequel released in addition to several DSiWare Art Style games. With all that evidence, we’re guessing these two will be released on Game and Watch.
