Regular service resumes for this week’s Nintendo eShop download schedule, meaning we can actually tell you what’s due out this Thursday. So hurrah for that. On Wii U four-player platfomer Kirby’s Adventure (aka Kirby’s Return to Dreamland) leads the way. Unlike the first three Wii re-releases – which launched at £8.99 for a limited period …
Rather than put out the usual weekly download schedule, Nintendo has instead issued a “special†press release in anticipation for the New Nintendo 3DS’s launch this Friday. Or #Nintendo3DSDay as they hope folk will call it. Twitter folk, presumably. It was already a given that The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter …
We’re able to look past the fact that the majority of WayForward’s licensed games are poor on the grounds that such work helps to fund the studio’s own projects. Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is a fine example – a genuine labour of love, just like the first two Shantae games before it. American gamers …
We imagine that the majority of Wii U owners will either be dusting off their console or topping up their eShop credit for Metroid Prime Trilogy. The collection – which can sell for as much as £60 in physical form – arrives on the eShop this Thursday for £8.99, with the price due to rise …
Citizens of Earth is a game with a history more interesting than most. Canada-based indie studio Eden Industries attempted to fund development with a Kickstarter campaign which ultimately fell $36k short of the $100k goal. Undeterred, development continued, leading renown publisher Atlus to pick it up for a multi-format release. The Wii U and 3DS …
Nintendo’s eShop schedule for this week includes the start of SEGA’s second batch of 3DS revamps. 3D After Burner 2 is the first arcade classic to fly out the door, priced at £4.49. 3D Fantasy Zone, 3D OutRun, 3D Fantasy Zone II, and 3D Thunder Blade are then to follow in the coming months. SEGA’s …
There’s something of an unexpected theme connecting this week’s Nintendo eShop new arrivals – the murky underworld of the depths below us. Say “hello” to Chariot, Underground, Dig Dug and Lode Runner. We reviewed the Xbox One version of Frima Studio’s co-op platformer Chariot (£13.49) back in October before giving it another mention in our …
It’s a predictably quiet week for the Nintendo eShop, but the few new arrivals are worth considering and the week’s discounts aren’t to be sniffed at either. The digital version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is the headliner, arriving on Friday for £34.99. At the time of typing the retail version is £28 on Amazon …
There’s no stopping for Christmas where Nintendo is concerned – the eShop is due several new titles on Christmas day, including four notable Virtual Console releases for Wii U. Another bunch of digital downloads from Activision are en route too. Prices are so laughably unjust that we almost chose to omit them from this round-up, …
Digital versions of ancient Activision titles, a couple of obscure Virtual Console re-releases and another handful of 3DS themes. If you’re finding it hard to get excited about this week’s eShop schedule then you’re not alone. Those Virtual Console releases are Capcom curios Mighty Final Fight (£3.49) and Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight (£3.49) …
It’s a toss-up between Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy and Rune Factory 4 as to what’s the highlight of this week’s eShop schedule. Sorry, Wii U owners – you have to make do with a couple of new Zen Pinball 2 tables. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy launches Thursday for £24.99, offering re-drawn graphics and …
Although there are a fair few games heading to the Wii U and 3DS eShop this week, it’s debatable as to how many will be of interest. It really is an odd little assortment. Big Ben’s WRC FIA World Rally Championship: The Official Game (£29.99) is the ‘big’ one, we suppose. The 3DS has been …
This week belongs to Nintendo. Not only do we have the biggest Wii U launch of the year – in the form of Super Smash Bros. – but also the eagerly anticipated Pokémon Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby on 3DS. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is due on the eShop this Friday, but at £49.99 you’d …
After more delays than we can recall Watch_Dogs finally arrives on the Wii U eShop this Thursday. While the retail version – due out Friday – can be found for around £35 online, the eShop version has been marked up at a hefty £49.99. On top of this there are two additional add-ons – Conspiracy! …
Top up your eShop accounts – it’s another busy week for new arrivals on Nintendo’s download services. We’re also going to use this opportunity to remind Wii U owners to check their Nintendo Network Premium Account – the 31st December deadline for earning points is quickly looming. On Wii U this week there’s a curiously …
