Gabbuchi

Starting today, Gabbuchi is available for pre-purchase on the Nintendo eShop in Japan (with Europe and North America following later today). The game costs 800 Yen, with a 50% off pre-purchase discount (400 Yen). It requires only 65MB of free space, and does offer an English language option (but also various other languages)… not surprising since the game is getting a simultaneous release worldwide!
