A girlhood dream from the Nintendo eShop: “Riding Stables 3D – Rivals in the Saddle”

There’s neighing and the clatter of hooves in the air. Because today TREVA Entertainment publishes its Nintendo 3DS™ game, “Riding Stables 3D – Rivals in the Saddle” for the Nintendo eShop. So for the first time, horse fans are now only a download away from starting out on their riding careers.

With hard work and passion any one of them can work their way up from being a stable hand to becoming a successful equestrian sportswoman. Everything starts out at Mother Erica’s farm. This is where the players will get to grips with feeding, watering and also grooming their charges. And after they have proved themselves as trainers using lunge lines, throwing games, or practising tricks, then comes their big moment: They are nominated as a reserve rider and prepare for the big tournament, the winner of which will receive the coveted neighboring stables.

They will receive their own horse, which they can choose from out of 26 breeds. Now they have to complete the program consisting of jumping, an obstacle course and even archery from the saddle. The 3D graphics and first person perspective make for the creation of a real competitive atmosphere.

The augmented reality feature serves up a particular surprise: The Nintendo 3DS conjures up the player’s seemingly true to life horse on the augmented reality card that comes with the system. So, what are you waiting for? Mount up and let’s go!

From now on the Nintendo 3DS game “Riding Stables 3D – Rivals in the Saddle” will be available at €29.99 / £24.99 in the Nintendo eShop. In order to enter the virtual market place, players can find a local ‘Access Point’ in ‘Game Settings’ and then use it to establish an Internet connection. Following on from this, the game can then be searched for and downloaded. Of course this process means that there’s no packaging that has to be tidied up in children’s rooms, nor taken along when travelling.
