There’s nothing coming out in stores this week, so load up on eShop goodness.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/41628/nintendo-downloads-december-10-2015
This is the kind of week we love – all kinds of major eShop titles to take a share of $60. As was previously announced, FAST Racing Neo speeds into your Wii U memory at roughly Mach 2, while it’s all about the survival on the 3DS with SteamWorld Heist (with discount until the corks pop) and the port of a PC survival hit… Terraria. (If you’re looking for the other one, it’s next week).
Even the unexpected titles are at least on my radar – Circle Entertainment is bringing out a visual novel that was sold episodically in Japan as part of the Petit Novel series, “Harvest December” while Aksys and Arc System Works drop a game that had the misfortune of being revealed before Zero Time Dilemma in Radiohammer. The Virtual Console picks up the Medabots GBA RPGs from Natsume (Metabee and Rokusho).
The big 3 are hitting Europe as well, in addition to Harvest December, plus grab your Roll ‘n Rocker and chill the Rolling Rock, the Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures are coming. (Note: Games do not actually support the Roll ‘n Rocker.) A couple of interesting GBA games are on the Virtual Console for Europe, with the newest Game and Watch Gallery plus a game that you might be more familiar with as a DS launch title.
