Some street fighting and squids, though not together. Also, Mega May continues!

A big week this time in the Nintendo Download. Wii U and 3DS are represented well in both downloadable and Virtual Console titles, with some big ones arriving today. Even the DS gets some love this week. Man, I hope the streak of DS releases just keeps coming, as it's kind of amazing.

Wii U Downloads

Fit Music - $14.99

I'm guessing it's a music game that will keep you fit. It's nice to jam out to music sometimes. I'm not that kind of guy, though many out there are. I'm just fine sitting around and doing nothing, thanks.

Squids Odyssey - $14.99

How convenient! I just reviewed this game, so check it out and see what I thought about it here. But if you want the short version...it's a pretty fun game! Check it out.

Swords & Soldiers - $2.99

This game features vikings. They're the real discoverers of America, not that Columbus guy. You should read more about him, by the way. He wasn't very nice.

Wii U Virtual Console

Street Fighter Alpha 2 - $7.99

One of the biggest Super Nintendo titles is now on the Virtual Console! I'm not the biggest fan of the Alpha series, but it's something different from the mainline Street Fighter games so it's worth checking out. The box art is pretty cool, too.

Nintendo 3DS Downloads

Alien on the Run - $3.99

I don't blame these aliens for being on the run. I mean, you know what people want to do to aliens, right? Do experiments on them. That's not very nice at all. Of course they're going to run!

Turtle Tale - $2.99

Turtle Tale looks like a fun, simple platformer. Those might be common on the 3DS, but are platformers ever a bad experience? Well, maybe Home Improvement was, but this doesn't look like Home Improvement. This actually looks fun!

Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console

Mega Man V - $3.99

Mega May continues with the fifth entry in the Mega Man Game Boy series. It's kind of amazing how many Mega Man games came out in an eight year span. No wonder things slowed down once the SNES era went into full effect!

Nintendo DS Downloads

Lost Treasures of Alexandria - 800 Nintendo Points

Yes, more Nintendo DS games! This looks like a simple puzzle game, but hey--it's a game nonetheless! I'm sure Nintendo DS enthusiasts are glad new games are coming out on almost a weekly basis!

Two warnings:

Mega Man V GB is actually $3.99 (gotta love that "Better Than eBay" tax)
Isn't Fit Music something ridiculous like 12GB?

[Halbred]

And Mega Man V isn't even the GBC or Super Game Boy enhancement.

[yoshi1001]

Alpha 2 would be better if the emulator could go hi-speed during the load times (decompressing assets) to improve the experience.

[ShyGuy]

Not a bad lineup.

Is Swords & Soldiers really only $2.99?! 

[Leo13]

Yes! Swords and Soldiers is really only $2.99. I think they priced it that low because it's not a new game and because they want everyone that hasn't already played it to be willing to try it so that their audience is bigger when they release the Wii U EXCLUSIVE Swords and Soldiers 2

[Leo13]

By the way, that $2.99 price was low enough to snag me even though I already own a copy on my phone. Mostly because I can't play multiplayer on my phone and this is a game my wife would play with me. They even implemented 2-screen multiplayer so that alone justifies the price to me.

I picked up Mega Man V. I've never played it before, so I'm really excited to try it!

I also was able to receive Turtle Tale, so I played some of that.
