We have already found a root cause of this security breach and already took necessary fixes preventing SmileBASIC from unwanted access to the system. As soon as the update is approved SmileBASIC will be back on Nintendo eShop. We know that many of SmileBASIC users are concerned about this happening.

To Petit Computer/SmileBASIC fans in Europe,

As soon as we announced the release date of SmileBASIC we are getting lots of e-mails asking the release in European regions.
We are considering the European release aggressively and will make an announcement once we made a decision.

2015.10.9

Today we proudly and finally announced that it has been officially decided to deliver SmileBASIC, the long-awaited English localized version of Petit Computer the 3rd, in the US, Canada and Mexico on October 15th, local time. The price is $9.99 for the US, CA$12.99 for Canada and MEX$158 for Mexico. SmileBASIC is available on Nintendo eShop exclusively.

SmileBASIC is a true localized version of Petit Computer the 3rd. There is no difference from Japanese version except the localization. Same instruction set, same features and same online services. That means programs are compatible and able to run on both SmileBASIC and Petit Computer the 3rd. So users can share, download and enjoy programs created by others on the globe.

2015.9.5

To all awaiting Petit Computer fans,

We really apologize that we have posted no updates since the last posting in May.

We are almost there! All necessary development work was completed a few weeks ago and we’ve already proceeded to the final stage for delivering SmileBASIC via Nintendo eShop. For now Nintendo and SmileBoom are working hard to make it available to all awaiting fans outside Japan as soon as possible.

Once we obtain the final approval, the delivery date will be determined and can be announced officially.

We really appreciate all of your patience. It is really coming!

To all our precious Petit Computer fans,

Last summer we officially announced that it would be coming in Spring this year. However, we decided to delay the release of the overseas version on purpose while we were doing the localization work pretty well. Why? We decided to introduce some great new features into the Japanese version for Ver.3.2. As soon as the development of the Japanese version is completed, we will prepare the overseas version based on the same codebase. What does this mean to you? So this will prevent any confusion between the Japanese version and the overseas one. This is the reason why we are not releasing the overseas version yet.
We all understand you are wondering when it will come out and some of you are disappointed or frustrated by seeing no updates from us.
We apologize that we were not giving you updates accordingly. We are fully committed to deliver the best version ever for our fans outside Japan.

Please be patient. We are working very hard now and it is coming on the way to you very soon.

As soon as the release date is decided we will make an announcement on our official Web and Twitter.

Thank you for your support!
