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 …
2D arcade-like skater OlliOlli may have taken a while to reach other formats since launching on PS Vita over a year ago, but at least it’s arriving on the Nintendo eShop with Wii U/3DS cross-buy support, along with an alluring launch-period discount. From Thursday until 19th March the pixel perfect skateboarding sim (to use a …
Judging by the bitterness of the weather outside, we’ll be spending most this week in the warmth and out of the way of the elements. Luck would have it that there are a few new arrivals of note on the eShop. It’s two new Virtual Console offerings that grab our attention – SNES cult classics …
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, …
