Mega Man, Suda 51, Sonic Drift with local multiplayer, a Naruto demo, and more on the eShop this week.

Lots of cool titles came out this week on the eShop in Japan, including some love from Suda 51 with a digital version of Liberation Maiden, a demo for the upcoming Naruto SD Powerful Shippuden, Sonic Drift 2 with local multiplayer, and more stuff. Oh, and in the videos, there is even an offhand mention of "Super Wii." Here’s a breakdown of everything from this week:

Video Content

With the Nintendo Direct event last week, Nintendo has put the entire conference up on the eShop. Commercials highlighting New Super Mario Bros. U and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate are also now available to view. Interestingly, I noticed a commercial for the Wii U in which the whole “Super Wii” mantra made an appearance. The commercial, which is more or less an introduction to the Wii U, starts out by saying that this new console is essentially a "Super Wii" and then goes on to talk about the console's features.

As I mentioned above, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U has definitely been getting some love this week, with a few new commercials appearing on the eShop. A new preview video also talks about the differences between it and the handheld version, mentioning things such as online play and the HD graphics, as well as the connectivity options players have with both games. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U is scheduled to release December 8 in Japan at the Wii U launch.
