Nintendo Download for July 21, 2016 – North America

Enjoy some demos and more in today’s Nintendo Download! 

If money has you feeling down, then check out this week’s Nintendo Download.  There are two new demos along with a free game!  With that said, let’s jump right in!

 

In case you are still on the fence about Star Fox Zero or Star Fox Guard on the Wii U, look no further.  You can demo one or both titles with the release of their special demos.  Tied into Star Fox Zero, is an animated short about how the battle begins.  Be sure to check that out!  Or for free, you can fly the skies in Humanitarian Helicopter.  The goal is to rescue survivors from an earthquake.  Or if you are enjoying Pokémon fever from Pokémon Go, you can check out the new virtual console release of Pokémon Ranger.  Also available are Buddy & Me: Dream Edition, Hot Rod Racer, and Defend Your Crypt.

Over on the 3DS side Defend Your Crypt is also present.  This is a strategy and puzzle game where you control the Pharaoh and you must fend off the humans who are trying to get in.  There are a variety of traps you can set along with plenty of gore and levels to complete.  Or you can check out Ninja Smasher where you must rescue a princess in a fast-action style game.  Use throwing knives, katanas and more to master your ninja skills.  Finally, you may also want to check out Wind-up Knight 2.  You are a knight with a wind-up piece attached.  You will need to jump, roll and slice your way past enemies to avoid fully unwinding.  If that happens you will get the game over screen!

As always, you can check out the full list of all new releases, prices, discounts, and more below. Be sure to share your thoughts on this week’s downloads, and let us know if you plan on downloading any of them.
