This week’s Nintendo Download doesn’t feature any surprise twists like the last one. Still, I’ll bet there are a good handful of games some people will enjoy this week. Arriving on the Wii U Virtual Console in just a few hours is Kid Icarus ($4.99). Also worth noting: the arrival of Picross e2 ($5.99) and Chain Blaster ($6.99). People are no doubt familiar with Kid Icarus and Picross e2, but… here’s a look at Chain Blaster, if this is the first you’ve heard of it:

What else is coming this week? There’s Angler’s Club: Ultimate Bass Fishing 3D ($29.95) and Cute Witch Runner ($1.99, or 200 Points). So there’s that. August is just around the corner. Next week, you’ll probably see Pikmin 3 featured in the Nintendo Download, and after that, Nintendo fans can look forward to things like Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and DuckTales Remastered. There’s plenty of good stuff coming! What are you looking forward to?
