Mind Candy’s Moshi Monsters, or Moshlings, aren’t as big here in North America as they are overseas in the U.K., Europe and Australia. They’re big enough that the third Nintendo handheld game and first for 3DS, Katsuma Unleashed has arrived in the United States and is now available to purchase at stores everywhere for 3DS and DS.
As you’ll see in the Katsuma Unleashed launch trailer below, the game borrows heavily from classic Super Mario Bros. gameplay with a side-scrolling adventure full of jumping, wall-jumping, sliding, and collecting money, in this case Rox i.e. gems versus coins. It’s definitely geared at a younger crowd and looks to be full of the unique Moshi characters that have made the brand so successful.
Here’s the official Katsuma Unleashed synopsis:
Moshi Monsters: Katsuma Unleashed features six wild worlds, each packed with intense battles, hidden treasures, extra monster mini-games, and various villains like Glumps, Robot Moshlings, and Elite Bosses. With your Moshi mates in Dr. Strangeglove’s captivity, unleash super Moshi powers to help rescue them and discover hidden hero areas along the way. Players of all ages can earn special Moshi power abilities for Katsuma to learn like Furi’s smash attack and Diavlo’s fast flying powers, which will help defeat any baddies. Brace yourself for serious monster madness!
