What’s new in this week’s Nintendo Download? On the Wii U Virtual Console, we’re getting NES Open Tournament Golf. And new to the Wii U eShop is BLOK DROP U, a puzzle game. Also: Runner2 will be on sale for $4.99 starting on March 10 through March 17. If you’re on the fence about grabbing Runner2 while it’s discounted, be sure to check out our review of the game.
The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths is coming to the 3DS eShop. Were any of our readers supporters of that game when it was recently Kickstarted? Last but certainly not least, it would be a shame if I didn’t bring up Adventure Island II heading to the 3DS Virtual Console. The hero does share my last name, and it’s one of my favorite franchises from the early nineties. I think the Adventure Island II headed to 3DS today is NES version, according to Nintendo’s official page. But they released the Gameboy Adventure Island on the Virtual Console before, and I think they’ve made errors like this in the past. I suppose we’ll know soon.
As usual, you can check out the full press release below.
