With all the craziness that’s been going on this week, it’s easy to forget about the Nintendo Download. Thankfully, Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about it, because there’s some good content available this week. The 3DS gains two new eShop titles in the forms of PICROSS e and the long-awaited Mighty Switch Force! 2, each of which are $5.99. Also, the Virtual Console for the 3DS gets a shot in the arm from a few Game Gear titles, including Columns ($3.99), Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine ($2.99), Shining Force: Sword of Hajya ($3.99), and Sonic the Hedgehog ($4.99).
Meanwhile, the Wii U is only getting one new game this week. But don’t worry, because it’s a good one this week. Mutant Mudds Deluxe is finally available on the Wii U eShop for $9.99! This version of the game includes the special ghost levels, which you can’t get anywhere else. That makes it the definitive version of Mutant Mudds.
