Namco Bandai opening Corner Shop 3

Third installment in Tamagotchi Connection series setting up new outlets this summer for the Nintendo DS.

It's been said there's nothing more satisfying than a job well done, and many games have used this motto as the basis to mix work with pleasure. Continuing its pursuit to blur those lines, Namco Bandai announced today that the third installment in its light-hearted store-management sim Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop series will arrive for the Nintendo DS this summer.

As with previous installments in the Corner Shop series, Corner Shop 3 lets players set up storefronts and perform tasks to grow their businesses. In addition to a whole retinue of new Tamagotchi, developer Nana-On-Sha will be adding more than a dozen new shops to the series, as well as introducing a new playable character named Violetchi. Players will also be able to create their own park in which to escape when the trials and tribulations of running their shops become overwhelming, and players will be able to trade items with friends using the DS's Wi-Fi capabilities.

Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3 has not yet been rated or priced.

    Out of curiosity, why is this particular game announcement worthy of front page coverage? I'm not trying to flame, just wondering if it is some epicly huge series I've never heard of
