Nintendo outlines their 2012 Q1 release schedule.
Nintendo didn’t have the most even release schedule in 2011. A year that could be characterized as lacking in terms of software releases was capped off by a small barrage of marquee releases in the form of Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
A lot to love in this week's releases.
It’s been a while since Nintendo has given 3DS owners a good reason to visit the Nintendo eShop, but that looks to change this week with a couple of fantastic releases this week.
The first Nintendo Download that includes the 3DS eShop brings some heavy hitting titles.
Now appearing each Thursday, the weekly Nintendo Download update now includes entries to the new eShop found on the 3DS. Being the first week of the new format, Nintendo has made some tweaks to their format and have released some significant titles to make a big splash this week. Donkey Kong, originally released on the Gameboy has made its way to the 3DS Virtual Console for $3.99, while Mega Man 5 from the NES is now available on the Wii's Virtual Console. Gaijin Games' final Bit.Trip game, Bit.Trip Flux, can be demoed on WiiWare for a limited time. For more information on Bit.Trip Flux, be sure to read our review on the game.
With the release of the eShop on the 3DS, Nintendo is switching things up.
Nintendo announced today that their weekly release updates to the Virtual Console, WiiWare, and DSiWare services will no longer be done on Mondays, but instead on Thursdays. The update will now include 3DS Virtual Console games, 3D classics, and original downloadable titles for the Nintendo 3DS. According to Nintendo, this coming Thursday, June 16, will be the first update that includes this new eShop content.
