It'll be priced at $19.99 / €19.99 in North America and Europe and, if some of the official screenshots are anything to by, it's going to look just as gorgeous as the Nintendo Switch version. We'll be reviewing this incarnation as well, so look out for our review around its launch on 22nd February, 2018.

Yep, they did it, now every Steamworld game is on 3DS (including Tower Defense via DSiWare).

This reminds me I need to finish it on Vita.

Not on 3DS's lo-res screen.

Oh, wow, i might actually go with that version if just for the possibility of owning 3 Steamworld games' icons side by side by side.

Grim Patron · Feb 12, 2018

Will buy because it deserves to be bought everywhere. Already have on switch and ps. How would I go about getting SW tower defense? Is it still possible?

You can already do that on Switch as well

3DS - the gift that keeps on giving.
Great for portable players without a Vita/Switch.

I'd be cheaper to buy one game on 3DS than 3 games on Switch.

The 3DS is the Undertaker of game consoles.

You can do that on other systems but only 3DS can have 4 Steamworld Icons side by side.

Cool! Speaking of which, whatever happened to the q/a that resetera was supposed to do with the founder(s)?

LeonSPBR · Feb 12, 2018

Nice. Liked the first one so I'll probably get it.

I was wondering the same thing.

Neat it's coming to 3DS though.

Kresnik · Feb 12, 2018

That's... Amazing. I already had a lot of respect for Image & Form and it's just gone up a notch.

Jacknapes · Feb 12, 2018

Nice to see this coming to the 3DS

Intel_89 · Feb 12, 2018

Is it in 3D though? If so I might double dip.

memoryman3 · Feb 12, 2018

Seeing how SteamWorld Dig 2 is pushing out all these effects I wonder how it will run on the 3DS. Will it be 60fps on the new 3DS?

Its even great for portablr players WITH a Switch. I don't wanna take my AU$600 worth of switch with me errywhere, along with a bag, battery bank etc. My 3DS fits in a pocket, gives better battery power and can be replaced for $199 if something goes wrong :D

Seriously though can we track down the people who said the 3DS would be dead in 2018 and make them eat crow yet?

FreedomFighter · Feb 12, 2018

All this time I thought it was already on the 3DS.

Aiustis · Feb 12, 2018

Was going to get this when I got my Switch, but 3DS it is.

Nav · Feb 12, 2018

Third pillar lookin good.

Sylverstone · Feb 12, 2018

Very surprised, but definitely nice for the 3DS owners.

Jonneh · Feb 12, 2018

3DS offered a lot to Image and Form so I'm not surprised. I do wonder how well it'll do though!

Nintenleo · Feb 12, 2018

And 3DS library got another must play title.

What a line-up. This console will never die.

BlockABoots · Feb 12, 2018

Damn only Xbox One left out in the cold

Acido · Feb 12, 2018

Aw man, I actually prefer to play these 2D indie games on the 3DS. I would've waited if I knew it was coming.

SJUG · Feb 12, 2018

This is really neat. Haven't bought the game on Switch yet for no real reason, but will pick this up on 3DS.

L.O.R.D · Feb 12, 2018

when they announced the game i thought they should release it on the 3DS, but then after i saw some videos i thought maybe the 3DS is not powerful enough to play it, steamWorld Dig 2 is much bigger and have more mechanics than the first game.

i am really surprised they decide to make this port.

now we wait for mighty no 9 Vita/3DS port.

Yeah, it's on the eShop (3DS/2DS).

It's not on par with the rest of the SW games, but fun enough.

Yeah, I must personally apologize for the delay.

Unfortunately, the Image & Form founders have been delayed due to their busy schedules. First, they released Steamworld Heist on Switch on December 28th. Then they went on vacation until January 10th. Then they released Steamworld Dig 1 on Switch. And now they're releasing Steamworld Dig 2 on 3DS.

So I imagine we'll have to wait a bit longer before that Q&A is published. The last month-and-a-half seem like an extremely busy time for the company right now. They've been juggling a bunch of releases. So again, I want to apologize to everyone regarding that matter.

The Good News: The Chucklefish Q&A should be published very, very soon.

Se_7_eN · Feb 12, 2018

This reminds me, I need to buy this on the Switch.

Not to mention the merger they just had in January with Zoink to become Thunderful. Busy probably doesn't even cover it.

Buddy · Feb 12, 2018

Awesome game. One of the best on switch I played last year...I loved it and am a big fan of the devs now.

Very true. Brjann is a great person so I wish him good luck with everything.

maximumzero · Feb 12, 2018

Oh fucking sweet. Would much rather play the Steamworld titles on my 3DS. Definitely picking it up there.

Drain You · Feb 12, 2018

Holy shit, I couldn't get into Steamworld Dig 2 on PC but I'll give it another shot on 3DS. Loved playing the first on 3DS.

Jo-awn · Feb 12, 2018

I was wondering when it would come to the 3DS seeing as I have Heist and Dig 1 on 3DS. I'll definitely check it out somewhere down the line as I enjoyed Dig 1. I'm sure it looks nicer on a larger screen but it's nice to see I&F bring it full circle on the 3DS.

Cool! Thanks for the explanation - it definitely makes sense.
