The 1998 GameBoy incarnation of Mystical ninja posts to the eShop’s Virtual Console this week along with a solid looking new title with Fractured Souls. How long has it been since there’s been a new Mystical Ninja game anyway? Aside from a few mobile titles and a DS game that…
Read MoreThe original (tough as nails) Prince of Persia comes to the Wii Virtual Console this week. You know what else in the eShop this week? Insanity, my friend, complete insanity. If you’ve never played PoP, and I mean the original PoP from years ago, then you might want to give…
Read MoreWhat? You heard this one already? That’s doubtful considering this is one of the stranger assortments of games to have appeared on the eShop in a while. The headline game this week is Speed X 3D, a futuristic racer where you careen through the deepest recesses of the final frontier, all…
Read MoreIn a stark contrast to the glut of games that’ve been appearing lately, only three titles posted to Nintendo’s various download services this week. Making up for the sheer lack of stuff? Vectors. Vector Racing for the 3DS looks like it might be a pretty fun (if simple) time. The…

Read MoreYou want a rundown of this week’s Nintendo Download? Marvel Pinball 3D – that’s all you need to know. Has Zen Studios ever made a bad game of steel ball? The company has an amazing track record and their newest take on a Marvel Comics themed table set looks like…
Read MoreIt’s a pretty good week for Wii owners in Nintendo’s weekly download update, but then again any week is a good one when Double Dragon is involved. DDII appears this week for the Wii’s Virtual Console and stars the Lee Bros once again as they quest to… oh forget it-…
Read MoreIt’s another quality week for Nintendo’s download service as the eShop plays host to superheroes, outlaws, and a classic ape. I almost feel spoiled by the last two weeks of demos on the 3DS. Last week, if you’ll recall, LEGO Batman 2 landed on the service (and was great). This…
