Alternate Reality Virus Shooting Game Is The Cheapest 3DS Title To Date

Dorasu, publisher of many Hello Kitty games in Japan and a horror sound novel, are prepping their first Nintendo 3DS game. Virus Shooter XX is a motion controlled Nintendo 3DS game where players physically turn around to shoot infectiously cute viruses as they approach the screen.

It’s a simple concept, perhaps fitting as the first budget title for the 3DS. Virus Shooter XX is just 2,993 yen ($36) in Japan. Yes, that may sound like a lot after currency conversion, but consider this Ridge Racer 3D is 6,090 yen ($73) and many Nintendo DS titles such as Dragon Ball K: Ultimate Butouden are 5,040 yen ($60).

Virus Shooter XX is slated for release on March 31.
