Last week was a quiet one for the UK eShop, save for surprise VC arrival EarthBound Beginnings and 3DS adventure Xenodrifter. This week, on the other hand, is the busiest in recent memory. Yoshi’s Woolly World is the biggest release, arriving in Europe almost four months before America. It’s set to cost £34.99 on the …
We wasn’t sure if Nintendo would get round to releasing an eShop schedule this week, but here we are. We’ve already had the biggest eShop release of the week – Nintendo slipped EarthBound Beginnings onto the eShop earlier today, following yesterday’s surprise announcement. It’s the first game in the much loved Mother series, translated into …
It’s sad to say that Wii U owners are probably used to being treated as second-rate console owners by now. That’s something that won’t be changing any time soon, especially with news that LEGO Jurassic World isn’t due out on Wii U until a week after the official launch. As such, the Wii U version …
If you can drag yourself away from Splatoon you’ll find a few new arrivals of note on the UK eShop this week. 3DS owners meanwhile have Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven to consider – a new JRPG from the minds behind Harvest Moon and Rune Factory. Don’t Starve: Giant Edition (£12.59) is definitely the week’s …
Reviews of Splatoon – the Wii U biggest release of the year of the year so far – aren’t due to go live until later this week, but early word has it that it’s up there with Mario Kart 8 as one of the system’s finest. We’ll post a round-up as soon as reviews surface. …
It’s another one of those weeks where the Virtual Console releases are the focal point of Nintendo’s eShop schedule. Sorry, Swords & Soldiers II – we can’t look past a delightful double whammy of Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Paper Mario. Nintendo’s decision to bring the incredibly well-received Kirby’s Epic Yarn to Wii U is clearly …
Gamers often say that Nintendo recycles their properties too often, yet when presented with something different and new the reception isn’t always a warm one. Case point – Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Intelligent Systems could have easily knocked up a new Advance Wars, but instead chose to craft an original experience – a steampunk era strategy …
Treasure’s Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies makes its way to Wii U this Thursday. If you’re a fan of shooters then it’s something of a no-brainer, especially seeing that the Wii U’s library is hardly overflowing with examples of the genre. It’ll only set you back £13.49 until 7th May too. After that …
Nintendo usually issues their eShop line-up on a Monday morning, but for whatever reason yesterday came and went without. In instances like this we always wonder what the holdup was. Did an eShop release get delayed at the very last second? Are Nintendo still debating internally about what VC games to release this week? We …
After what seems like several quiet weeks, this Thursday sees the Nintendo eShop erupted with content – new games, new DLC, demos and a bunch of other stuff. Discounts too, but they’re yet another dreary assortment. We’re pretty sure Castle Conqueror EX goes on sale at least once a month. Anyway, if you stayed up …
With a £16.99 price tag, Affordable Space Adventures certainly doesn’t live up to its name. We actually to fail to think of a single eShop release that’s arrived at a higher price, downloads of retail releases notwithstanding. That name wasn’t picked simply because it sounds delightfully quirky though – it’s all about exploring space while …
Just two new arrivals head to the Nintendo eShop this week, both of which are for 3DS. Wii U owners aren’t even being treated to a wealth of discounts to make up for a lack of activity, with just two titles in line for a temporary price drop. Gravity Badgers (£2.49) and the Earthbound inspired …
Although eleven new releases are lined up for the UK Nintendo eShop this week – well, twelve if you consider Inazuma Eleven Thunderflash/Wildfire to be separate games – it’s debatable as to how many of these will be of interest to the majority. Our reckoning is four, and that’s at a push. Trine Enchanted Edition …
Nintendo are busy handing out invites for Mario Party 10. By which we mean this: it’s available to purchase in both digital and physical forms from Friday onwards. It’s set to cost £34.99 on the eShop. Hardly an outrageous price (Pikmin 3 was £49.99 if memory serves) but it’s worth baring in mind that physical …
We have a combination of Capcom, SEGA and WayForward to thank for this week’s Nintendo eShop price cuts. If none of this week’s new eShop arrivals tickle your fancy, then chances are at least one of the aforementioned publisher’s discounted games will. We’ll cover the new arrivals first. 2D indie adventure The Fall (£6.99) is …
