Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is ready to search for shiny baubles on the Wii U eShop this week. The isometric action game, which is based off a series of bonus levels from Super Mario 3D World, gets Toad (and Toadette) out into the world in his first starring role.
Toad will be joined on the Wii U eShop this week by Fire Emblem, the Game Boy Advance classic that marked the franchise’s American debut. In other Virtual Console release news, the NES version of Lode Runner is also available to download today.
Over on the 3DS eShop, a trio of new games are now available including Ultimate NES Remix, a portable NES minigame collection. Also new on the digital storefront today is Christmas Wonderland 4, a hidden object game, and Violetta: Rhythm & Music, a music game based on the Disney television series.
More details about all of these games can be found after the break.
