This Nintendo Download has finally done what I’ve been waiting for all October – it got Halloweeny! Which is to be expected, since we’re just a week away from the spooky holiday, as well as the upcoming release of Luigi’s Mansion 3! As such, this Nintendo Download has some cool sweepstakes to check out, a bunch of featured titles, the usual sales and a bag full of digital candy. So let’s get started with some zombies, demons and one little monkey.
Capcom loves re-releasing games, and especially those from popular series like Resident Evil. So this time, we’re getting a twofer – Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, respectively. Despite having heard bad things about both titles, I also never expected them to be able to run on a Nintendo console. So assuming they’re well optimized, both games might be worth a look. As an added bonus, if you’ve bought any of the previously released Resident Evil games already, you can pre-purchase 5 and 6 with a 33% discount. If you prefer more demonic fun, then you will love the antics of Disgaea 4 Complete+! And finally, if you like monkeying around (I’m so sorry), then you might enjoy Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD. But that’s not all this week of the Nintendo Download, not by a long shot. So let’s continue with a special sweepstakes offer.
- Enter the My Nintendo Luigi’s Mansion 3 Sweepstakes! – This year, the spookiest holiday of the year is extra spooky because the Luigi’s Mansion 3 game arrives on Oct. 31. Want to help us celebrate the game’s launch? You can enter the My Nintendo Luigi’s Mansion 3 Sweepstakes, exclusively for My Nintendo members. Redeem your My Nintendo Platinum Points for a chance to win spooky-fun prizes. The statues are incredibly detailed – seriously, check out the design of the ghost-sucking Poltergust G-00. It even matches the design seen in the game’s trailers.
