Nintendo eShop | Nintendo Download Europe

After last week’s 3DS-heavy Nintendo Download, it’s the Wii U’s turn to shine. Starting off, there’s Kirby’s Adventure Wii hitting the Wii U eShop. The Wii U Virtual Console sees two Game Boy Advance games released this week: Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Super Ghouls’N Ghosts. Also, a demo for Citizens of Earth is out for both Wii U and 3DS.

Speaking of the 3DS, this week sees the release of Chat-A-Lot, an interesting little app that lets you chat, via voice or text, with friends through your 3DS. Games being released include Flap Flap and Luv Me Buddies Wonderland.

A new batch of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call DLC songs gets released, as well. The new set of tracks include music from Final Fantasy IX, Chrono Trigger, Seiken Densetsu 3 and NieR.

And finally, there are a ton of sales for both Wii U and 3DS this week. They mainly consist of Activision and WB Games titles, but Shin Megami Tensei IV and Conception II are discounted as well.

For the full list of all releases and sales, see below. All descriptions come directly from the press release. Everything happens on February 19th, unless otherwise noted.

Kirby's Adventure Wii | Nintendo Download Europe

  • Kirby’s Adventure Wii

Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Waddle Dee are ready to transform your living room into Dream Land once more in Kirby’s Adventure Wii! In this side-scrolling adventure game, you can play on your own or with up to three of your friends. Kirby, in his many guises, is in control of the infamous foursome – help him use his powerful Copy Ability to inhale, spit or transform as enemies rise to the challenge. Kicking off this action packed adventure, an alien spaceship has crash-landed, scattering pieces of the ship across the otherwise peaceful Popstar land. The alien is desperate to return to its home planet and so Kirby and his enemies decide to work together and help – starting out on a mission to find the missing chunks of the vessel which have been spread across the realm. Play on your own or recruit up to three friends who can join in the fun. Whether you all want to play as Kirby, each in a different colour, or mix things up by each taking a different character – Meta Knight, King Dedede and Waddle Dee – you can all enjoy playing cooperatively to progress through the game by collecting Point Stars and Ability Stars. Don’t worry if you only meet up with your friends for a short while, anyone can join and leave the game at any time.
