Twelve years after its Japanese PSP release and, Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure is getting a release on the Nintendo 3DS in North America. The game is already available through Steam, but it's returning to its portable roots for Nintendo's handheld. 

Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure stars a strong-willed young girl named Parin, who is sent to live with her grandfather in a small mining town while her archaeologist parents are off excavating an ancient ruin. No other children live in the town so Parin is surprised to find a young girl about to be attacked by an angry dog. Parin rescues the girl and learns something even more shocking - her new friend is a monster, and like all monsters, invisible to adults.

Parin is soon invited to the mysterious Monster Village, which just so happens to be hidden right behind the town. Parin has just started making monster friends when evil spirits, known as Phantoms, invade the village and 'monsternap' most of the inhabitants. Parin learns of the Legendary Drill, a weapon accessible only to the chosen and powerful enough to eliminate the Phantoms. Thus begins Parin's quest to reclaim the Legendary Drill, drive out the Phantoms and set the world right.
