This week sees the release of the first batch of GBA titles on Wii U. If you’re thinking that the 3DS would be a better fit for the GBA’s back catalogue, then you certainly aren’t alone. We assume the Wii U’s barren release schedule may have had something to do with Nintendo’s decision to bring …
It may seem odd that a Virtual Console release headlines this week’s Nintendo eShop rooster, but Super Mario Kart isn’t your typical game – this is where Mario’s karting career began, quickly spawning countless clones. An outright classic, it’s one of the best multiplayer games of the 16-bit era…and beyond. To celebrate its release on …
It’s a somewhat slow week for new Nintendo downloads. How slow? Well, the only new arrival is Pure Chess, out on Wii U and 3DS for £4.99. We’re starting to think Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder is never going to find its way to Europe. Sob! As well as Pure Chess, in its rather eye-catching HD glory, …
It’s a reasonably busy week for new arrivals on the Nintendo eShop. That’s where the 3DS is concerned, anyway – the Wii U sees just two Virtual Console releases and a few discounts. Those two new additions to the Virtual Console catalogue are the NES iterations of Double Dragon and Super Dodge Ball, priced at …
With the Year of Luigi coming to an end, a range of Luigi-themed discounts are underway on the Nintendo eShop. The best of these is New Super Luigi U for £13.49. Less good, at least in terms of discount, is Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. on 3DS for £27.99. NES classic Super Mario Bros. …
It’s the 3DS that receives the bulk of new Nintendo downloads this week, although to be fair that’s pretty much always the case. AeternoBlade, The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths and SENRAN KAGURA Burst are all due on the 3DS eShop from Thursday, while Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is the week’s 3DS VC release, …
There’s a bit of a retro theme going on in the world of new Nintendo downloads this week. We’ve got Retro Studio’s Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze sliding onto the Wii U eShop this Friday, Retro City Rampage: DX making a belated pitstop on 3DS and another two additions to the ever growing Virtual Console …
Nintendo’s download schedule for this week isn’t to be sniffed at. Why? Because you might catch a whiff of Finn’s garbage. After being released in the US back in 2012, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!! finally gains a European release via the 3DS eShop. We reviewed the DS version – …
You know it’s a quiet week for new Nintendo downloads when a farming simulator takes the limelight. At least My Farm on Wii U looks far jollier than the recent – and also rubbish – console iteration of Farming Simulator 2013, sporting a colourful European visual style and a more comical vibe. The £7.19 download …
Just like last week, only two new arrivals are hitting the Nintendo eShops this week – one each for Wii U and 3DS. Wii Fit U will be available from 1st Feb for £29.99 while virtual pet thing Brilliant Hamsters! gnaws its way onto 3DS this Thursday for £9.99. There’s a video of the finger …
Rather than cram Nintendo’s eShop offerings in with the rest of the week’s new releases – like we have been doing for quite some time – we’ve decided to give Nintendo’s download schedule a regular weekly overview. The main reason for this is that we felt as if we were skimming over a lot of …
