EnjoyUp Games has announced that 99Seconds will be available to download via DSiWare in North America on May 31 .

The game will be priced at 200  Nintendo DSi Points.

99Seconds, a fun, retro-style video game, where you can modify time to avoid all kinds of dangers.

After finishing off Black Eye, V-99 entered a mysterious zone called Bit 8, without knowing why V-99 could modify time, slow it down and even stop it. But everything became complicated with the appearance of the BLACK VECTORS: mysterious beings that aim to destroy any intruder who reaches Bit 8.

• Control V-99, dodging, using SLOW DOWN to slow, stop and even go back in time!
• Arcade mobility like in the classic arcade games!
• Retro-style levels!
• Incredible enemy patterns!

The concept of 99Seconds is to survive using SlowDown to control time and avoid the enemies. Blue Energies will appear during the game that will give you extra time. When the time reaches zero, you will not have the SlowDown power, and if you are hit, you will be defeated.

Dinosaur Office: Office Party (available May 11 at 6 a.m. PT)
When the office throws an after-work party to celebrate a productive quarter, Craig finds himself in the middle of a dinosaur cat fight.

Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Kid Icarus: Uprising, has told IGN that he has no interest in making a sequel to Pit’s critically acclaimed 3DS adventure.

If by ‘lasting universe’ you mean to ask if there’s a sequel, the answer is no.

Because we pushed a lot into the game in order to let people have this short yet deep experience, but the novelty of that would likely grow thin in the next game. For now, my thought is that perhaps we’ll see someone else besides me make another Kid Icarus in another 25 years.

With Sakurai-san already hard at work on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, it’s not surprising that a Kid Icarus: Uprising sequel isn’t at the top of his to-do list.

Unchained Blades is set to release on the 3DS eShop later this year.
