Why Robin Makes Batman Better XSEED yesterday teased a new game release, which turns out to be Unchained Blades, the Western title for the dungeon crawler UnchainBlades ReXX. Nintendo Power, in its latest edition, also reports that this game will be a digital download, one of the first full-size titles to be made available that way on the 3DS.
Surprise! Nintendo has released the action slash tower-defence game a day early, it said during a video conference this morning. You’ll find Dillon’s Rolling Western in the 3DS eShop for $US10 right now. [Nintendo]
Nintendo not only gave its 3DS ambassadors — early adopters of the device — 10 Virtual Console classics for free, it also didn’t let anyone else buy them. That exclusive privilege appears to be headed to a close as the Japanese eShop has already listed Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and will get Super Mario Bros. next week.
The Nintendo Download ends the year on a high note with the release of Terry Cavanagh ‘s indie darling VVVVVV on the 3DS eShop, adding a 3D twist to the game’s already twisted gravity platforming.
With classics like the original Tetris, Metroid II and Blaster Master released in recent weeks, Nintendo’s eShop has been a retro cornucopia for 3DS owners. Capcom’s announced that they’re adding another old-school title to the download store with the impending debut of 1992′s Game Boy version of Bionic Commando. You’ll be able to grab the monochromatic adventures of Nathan “Rad” Spencer next week.
Twas three days before Christmas and all through the Nintendo Download fresh new games both big and small tried desperately to outshine the majesty that is the original Game Boy version of Tetris.
Before the 3DS launched, Nintendo promised that it’d be rolling out a catalogue of Game Boy classics for their new handheld. While that roll-out hasn’t been as fast as some fans has wanted, a genuine classic’s hitting the system this Thursday.
