Nintendo Download: Dillon’s Rolling Western 2; Injustice, Kirby’s Adventure out next week
Nintendo’s weekly “Nintendo Download” typically highlights games that will be available on the 3DS eShop and Wii U eShop during the next week, but this is getting ridiculous. Today, gamers can give three new games a shot:
- Dillon’s Rolling Western: The Last Ranger and Soccer Up 3D on the 3DS eShop
- And Clash of Elementalists on the DSiWare Shop.
Next week, major new releases Injustice: Gods Among Us (Wii U) and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (3DS) will be released, along with Wii U Virtual Console title Kirby’s Adventure.
Want more details on all of these titles? They’re available after the break. (more…)

New Releases: Lego City Undercover, GoW: Judgment, Walking Dead FPS, More
Another week, another highly anticipated prequel. Gears of War: Judgment will be available this week, exclusively for the Xbox 360.
Sidestepping to a shooter of a different kind is The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. This other game based on The Walking Dead used the television show for inspiration and stars the crossbow-wielding fan favorite, Daryl Dixon. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will be released for the PC (download-only), PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U.
Speaking of the Wii U, this is actually a big week for new releases on Nintendo consoles as Lego City Undercover and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will soon be available for the Wii U. The 3DS will receive a pair of big new releases in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, as well as a portable version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
More new releases can be found after the break. (more…)
Nintendo Download: Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, more
This week’s Nintendo Download should really be referred to as “next week’s Nintendo Download” as most of the new addition to the 3DS/Wii U’s download services won’t be available until March 19.
That’s when Lego City Undercover and Need For Speed: Most Wanted U will make their Wii U debut. That’s also when Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and The Croods: Prehistoric Party! will be released for the Wii U and the 3DS. Next week will also see the release of the next Wii U Virtual Console game, Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream, on Wednesday, March 20.
So what’s available today? On the 3DS eShop, there’s Mega Man III, Rayman Origins, and Reel Fishing 3D Paradise; and on the DSiWare Shop there’s Forgotten Legions and Goony.
More details about this week’s new games and next week’s releases can be found after the break. (more…)

Nintendo Download: Runner 2, Retro City Rampage, Castlevania: Mirror of Fate, more
It’s another big week for Nintendo’s download services… and we even get another Wii U game.
That game is Gaijin Games’ Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. The platformer, which stars everyone’s favorite monochrome mascot, CommanderVideo, is available today is both demo and full version form.
Also available this week is Konami’s Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. The 3DS side-story that bridges the gap between the two Lords of Shadow games on the PS3/Xbox 360 is available now as a demo, with the full game set to hit the 3DS eShop on Tuesday, March 5.
Finally, this week finally marks the release of Retro City Rampage on the Wii Shop Channel. An 8-bit-styled, open-world game reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto’s early days, Retro City Rampage on the Wii includes the special “ROM City Rampage” mode, which morphs the game into a true 8-bit adventure that would have worked on the NES.
Hit the jump for more details on all of these games as well as three other additions to this week’s Nintendo Download. (more…)
Lego Batman 2 coming to Wii U this Spring
After already selling over 3.4 million copies worldwide on the 3DS, DS, PC, PS3, Vita, Wii, and Xbox 360 since its release last year, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is coming to the Wii U this Spring.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced the news yesterday and the company emphasized that changes would be coming to the Wii U port, stating that Lego Batman 2 “will take advantage of the innovative Wii U GamePad controller.”
As well as using the GamePad as an interactive map, players will be able to “enjoy the entire game experience on the GamePad in off-TV mode, or have a second player join in on the TV, so they can fight crime together without having to share a single screen.”
THQ plans to sell off Darksiders, Red Faction, Homeworld, more in May
The THQ sell-off will continue this Spring as the publisher has announced that four major franchises will go up for auction as well as two compilations of lesser franchises.
Darksiders (which went unsold at the initial THQ auction), Red Faction, Homeworld, and the MX racing franchise have all been put on the block by THQ. The company will also sell the rights to a package of original properties (including Big Beach Sports, Destroy All Humans!, Summomner, and others) and a package of licensed games (Marvel Super Hero, Supreme Commander, Worms, and others). A new owner for each franchise will be chosen sometime in May.
If you’ve ever wanted to own a formerly top-selling video game franchise, you should get in touch with THQ by emailing them at auction@thq.com by April 1. But be aware, you’ll be expected to show proof of funds in case your bid is selected by the creditors committee.
Of course, how much could something like Destroy All Humans! (which, admittedly, I love) actually go for?

Nintendo Download: Wii Street U, Dig Dug, Rabbids Travel in Time 3D, more
Nintendo’s mapping service for the Wii U, Wii Street U, is now available on the Wii U eShop as a free download. But if you’re interested in the Google Maps-powered application, I suggest you get it quick, as it’ll be free only for a limited time.
3DS players will get a chance to download three games this week: the NES version of the arcade classic Dig Dug, the minigame collection Rabbids Travel in Time 3D, and the mythical pet-raising game Petz Fantasy 3D.
You can read all about these titles (as well as new additions to the DSiWare Shop and Wii Virtual Console) after the break. (more…)
