RPGs and Virtual Console games are popular in this week’s Nintendo Download!
By the number of line items, the 3DS managed topple the Wii U eShop in this latest edition of the Nintendo Download. Are you ready? Let’s jump right into the action!
Looking closer at the items within the list, the Wii U and 3DS are dead even. The Wii U gets three NES classics added to the virtual console and TAP TAP ARCADE. Fans of Ninja Gaiden will be happy to see that the second and third installment have finally made it to the virtual console with Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos and Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom being available today. Fans of Double Dragon will be happy to see the addition of Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones.
Taking a look at the 3DS side, we have lots of Fire Emblem stuff dropping. These will not be available until tomorrow Friday February 19 either. Both versions of Fire Emblem Fates which include Birthright and Conquest. You don’t have to pay the full $40 for both, as reported this morning you can buy one version and download the other for $20 after chapter six. Also available tomorrow is the DLC which is Map Pack 1. This includes eleven maps for the entire package. Also available on the 3DS is Project X Zone 2 and Musicverse: Electronic Keyboard.
