Lots of Wii U love in today’s Nintendo Download!
The Wii U continues to get love and support through 2016 with six new titles available to download today. The 3DS side gets a demo and some Fire Emblem Fates DLC. Star Fox Zero is ready to take off starting tomorrow. Let’s dive right in!
Today reached a new low for the 3DS side of the eShop. Not a single title to cover, just a demo. The demo that is now available is Pocket Card Jockey. This game will see what happens when you mix fast pace horse racing with games like solitaire. The object is to stack the cards as quickly as possible. The first round of available maps is starting to finish up with the release of Witches’ Trial. For those wondering, this is a map from Fire Emblem Gaiden. Those that purchased the Map Pack 1 can download this right away. Or if this map interests you, it can be picked up for $1.99.
The Wii U side celebrates with the release of Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard. In Star Fox Zero, Fox pilots his trusty Arwing in hopes of stopping Andross from destroying the galaxy. In Star Fox Guard, Slippy’s uncle Grippy has a command station set up with tons of cameras. Players will have to monitor all the screens and switch between them to stop the invasion. The Virtual Console expands with the release of the DS classic Mario Party DS. Also available today are Blockara, DREAMALS, and Pinball Arcade.
