Video Content

With a couple of big titles coming out this week and in the very near future, the eShop is littered with previews, gameplay videos and commercials. The recently released Bit.Trip.Saga on the 3DS eShop is featured prominently and has a short preview video showing off the styles of each of the six games in the compilation. A minute long preview video is also there, featuring gameplay from Bit.Trip.Runner. Perhaps Arc System Works (the publisher in Japan) and Gaijin Games are testing the waters to bring Runner 2 to Japan. Aside from the decent variety of Virtual Console titles, the Wii U eShop is definitely in desperate need of some good downloadable software!

Gameplay videos are available for all of the releases this week, as are preview videos for Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, Lego City: Undercover (releasing in Japan on July 25), Fantasy Life Link, and Hoppe-chan Tsukute! Asonde! Punipuni Town!!. You can also view commercials for Lego City, Ace Attorney 5, Little Battler’s Custom, Pikmin 3, and Youkai Watch.
