Side-scrolling strategy game, Swords & Soldiers, is headed to the Nintendo 3DS.
Originally developed and released for WiiWare by Ronimo Games, Swords & Soldiers is a game where three factions—the Aztecs, Vikings and Imperial Chinese—are at war. Players use gold to create units, which begin marching toward the enemy base once they’re created, casting spells along the way. Figuring out which units to build and send out is part of the game’s strategy.
Following its WiiWare release, Swords & Soldiers was later made available for other platforms like the PC, PlayStation 3 and iPhone. Now, it’s on its way to the 3DS as a download title on the Nintendo eShop, courtesy of Hong Kong-based developer, Circle Entertainment, who have undertaken the responsibility of bringing the game to 3DS.

It's not Swords & Soldiers's first foray into the world of Nintendo, with the original appearing on Wii U, back in 2014, followed by a sequel a year later thanks to Kickstarter. Now the original is getting a surprise release on Nintendo hybrid platform.
