First Sherlock Holmes Game for Nintendo 3DS

The first "Sherlock Holmes" game for the Nintendo 3DS was released this week in the UK and Nordic countries.

Titled Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Frozen City, the storyline is set during a mysterious ice storm that has descended upon London. The capital city is totally paralyzed, and even the Thames is starting to freeze solid. However, the strangest fact is that the storm seems to only affect London, sparing the rest of England.

At the dawn of the third day of storm, Sherlock Holmes receives a telegram coming from the Annual Exhibition of Inventions, taking place in the Great Hall of Scientific Discoveries at the very heart of the city: the storm might not be natural! Finally a case worthy of Sherlock Holmes' great mind! With no hesitation, the famous detective braves the storm and goes to the scene, accompanied by his faithful friend Doctor Watson, in order to study and investigate the strange phenomenon.

The game, no doubt inspired by the popularity of the conceptually similar Professor Layton games, does not (to our knowledge) have a US release date yet. Visit the game website for more information.
