After a mega two weeks of updates its time for the eShop to slow back down to a normal pace. Wii U owners are the real lucky ones this week with the long awaited arrival of Toki Tori 2. Fans of the 3DS though you’re in luck to with Mega Man 3 on the Virtual Console and um, Monster High Skultimate Roller Maze. Yeah, well I don’t know about that one.
So if last weeks eShop updates weren’t impressive enough, this week will knock your socks off again. There’s one huge update for the Wii U but
the 3DS gets everything else and it’s entirely awesome.
You know some weeks we lament the lack of content on the eShop, this week though there is a clear abundance of content for both the 3DS and Wii U eShops. It’s actually quite impressive.
If you’re a 3DS owner, I have great news for you. You’re got a couple good games to download this week. Wii owners too you’re blessed with another Neo Geo classic. Wii U owners… well maybe you could like do the latest system update. That’s fun.
Well here it is, the penultimate eShop update for the year and it’s a mix of new games and sales, yep sales on the Nintendo stores. It’s a foreign concept I know, but they’re doing it.
For what it lacks in quantity, this weeks update makes up for in absolute quality with the 3DS getting possibly what will be two of the best games to hit the eShop. Crimson Shroud is a Level 5 developed RPG that was part of the Guild01 compilation upon it’s release in Japan. So Level 5 right? They’re good. But what about Yasumi Matsuno, he’s made such games as Vagrant Story previously. So if you’re a traditional JRPG fan this one is for you.
Well the Wii U is finally upon us, if you’re reading this then you’re probably at work and can’t play your Wii U yet or you’re not buying one. If I wasn’t at work, I’d be playing mine that’s for sure.
There hasn’t been a Nintendo Store update this big in quite a while! Every service Nintendo has on the Nintendo DSi, 3DS and Wii have been updated with not only new titles but there’s also a new demo and free DLC to catch as well. Let’s take a look at the offerings below.
It’s a pretty big week of eShop releases this week, no where near as big as the retail games hitting this week however. But if you’ve got some spare change after picking up Pokemon, Dishonoured and XCOM then you might want to consider one of the titles this week on the eShop.
