You gotta roll with it

Nintendo's The Rolling Western spinning onto European 3DS eShop next Thursday

According to the latest issue of trade magazine MCV, Nintendo EAD's 3DS action-adventure game The Rolling Western will be be released on the European eShop next Thursday.

Announced at E3 last year, The Rolling Western (also known as Dillon's Rolling Western in the US) sees you play as Dillon, an armadillo caught up in a 3D western adventure.

Dillon's ability to roll up and spin into enemies enables him to get out of a number of tight spots, though The Rolling Western isn't just about rotating and killing ad infinitum.

At various junctures, Dillon (a.k.a. you) will have to don a tower defence hat, for the game requires you to build and maintain the town's defences when they comes under threat.

There's currently no official word on the game's pricing, or on when it is expected to hit eShops outside of Europe.
