Nintendo hosted a pretty packed Nintendo Direct presentation earlier tonight after updating the Nintendo eShop with a batch of new games. What did they add? Well…
- Nintendo Badge Arcade (3DS) is a “fun-filled crane-machine game” that lets players create their own custom Home Menu Themes.
- Stella Glow (3DS) is a new RPG from Atlus that asks five witches to save the world with their “Song Magic.”
- Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX (Wii U) is a Virtual Console re-release of the Game Boy Advance remake of the great Super NES side-scrolling shooter.
More details about all of these games (and a few other new releases) can be found after the break.
