After a month or so of very little, Image & Form ends the Wii U eShop dry spell with SteamWorld Dig. Although not a new game, its somewhat belated arrival on Wii U is no less welcome. A heady mixture of Metroid, Mr. Driller and Spelunky, we found the 3DS version very hard to fault …
For a third week running Nintendo’s eShop roster is taking us back to the past. That’s to say, it’s another week filled with Virtual Console releases and very little else. On Wii U VC there’s HAL’s cult classic puzzler Adventures of Lolo (£3.49) and also the equally classic scrolling brawler Double Dragon II: The Revenge …
For a second week running there isn’t much going on in the world of new Nintendo downloads. That’s as far as new releases are concerned at least – this week’s discounts, courtesy of Ubisoft, aren’t a bad little assortment. The Game Boy’s Mega Man 3 flies the flag for Virtual Console releases, arriving on 3DS …
Featuring such games as the Bomberman inspired Bombing Bastards and ‘90s influenced racer Midtown Crazy Race, last week’s eShop line up had something of a retro theme. This week that theme is even more predominant – Thursday sees the release of four Virtual Console titles and very little else. On 3DS there’s the Game Boy’s …
For us, Nintendo’s Virtual Console platforms aren’t so much about reliving our misspent youth but rather experiencing the games we missed out on first time round. Pop’n Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventures is one fine example – Konami’s Super Nintendo platforming sequel received rave reviews back in the ‘90s, but we were never able to track …
An intriguing assortment of new releases make their way to the Nintendo eShop this week. If none of these float your boat, a bunch of NES games are being offered at discount prices for NES Remix owners too. To start us off there’s Neko Entertainment’s Wooden Sen’SeY (£8.00), a traditional platformer set in a “Japanese …
The summer game drought has seemingly spread to the Nintendo eShop – there are only three new arrivals due this Thursday, and one of those is a yet another match-three puzzler. There are some decent eShop discounts however. To celebrate its arrival on Wii U Virtual Console exactly one year ago, legendary SNES RPG Earthbound …
This week’s Nintendo eShop line-up brings us the second 3DS Pokémon game in the space of a week, with the first being last Friday’s Pokémon Art Academy. You may have already played this one though – it’s a Virtual Console release of Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Game Boy Color card battler is something of …
It’s another busy week for new Nintendo downloads, and an eventful one at that thanks to the arrival of the first third-party release with cross-buy support. That game is strategic underwater RPG Squids Odysesey. It’s due to launch on 3DS this Thursday, priced at £9.99…or for the sum of sweet nothing if you already own …
Like a bag of Haribo Starmix, this week’s line-up of eShop downloads is all about variety. On the Wii U eShop a pairing of Wii U Sports Club titles lead the way. The Wii Sports Club: Baseball + Boxing – Double-Sport Pass costs £8.99, giving the chance to own HD revamps of Wii Sports’ baseball …
As one of the first major 3DS eShop releases, Pullblox was a delectable little puzzler that signified the kind of bite-sized morsels that Nintendo had in mind for their new download platform. Putting a unique twist on puzzlers of the block-shoving variety, and with an exemplary use of 3D to boot, it was one of …
Not even the Nintendo eShop is safe from World Cup fever – the 3DS’s Inazuma Eleven GO: Light / Shadow lead the charge, arriving on Friday at £34.99 a punt, while the NES’s Soccer arrives on Wii U Virtual Console for £3.49. Reviews of Inazuma Eleven GO went up earlier this month and were – …
Publishers must be anticipating an influx of new Wii U owners in time for Mario Kart 8, as it’s a slightly busier week than usual for new eShop releases. There’s a rather timely selection of decent discounts too, courtesy of both Warner Bros. and Capcom. Mario Kart 8 itself leads the way, due to hit …
Although we can’t vouch for quality, it’s hard not to be impressed by the number of new titles due on Nintendo’s download services this week – four on Wii U, and five on 3DS. On Wii U there’s the 2D underwater tactical RPG Squids Odyssey (£9.99) and a bargain priced belated release of Swords & …
Of the five Nintendo eShop releases due this week, no less than three are worthy of attention. Maybe even four if Conception II’s mixed review aren’t too off-putting. In time for the retail release, Kirby: Triple Deluxe arrives on 3DS eShop this Friday, priced at £34.99. Although that’s slightly more than you may expect to …
