There’s plenty to love in this week’s Nintendo Download. For starters, NES Remix 2 will be released tomorrow, April 25th. Remember the surprise announcement in a recent Nintendo Direct? All those new games/remixes, as well as Super Luigi Bros., will be yours to enjoy soon.
Also very relevant to fans of traditional RPGs—Ubisoft’s Child of Light is heading to Wii U (and other platforms) on April 29th. Have you seen Eric’s impressions of the game from PAX East 2014?
The Game Boy Advance train keeps rolling on with the release of Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3. We can only hope that there are more big GBA releases coming, now that the “launch window titles” have all arrived.
And last but not least, those of you looking forward to Mario Golf: World Tour can enjoy a free demo soon enough. The full game will be coming next time around on May 2nd.
There are plenty of other games coming this week like Gardening Mama 2: Forest Friends and more. For all this week’s releases, be sure to check out the full Press Release below.
