Nintendo download – January 22 eShop Releases (Europe)
Nintendo’s latest list of eShop releases for the European region have been announced, and this week we see a bit of a Donkey Kong theme on the Wii U with three titles in the mix.
There’s plenty more choice for players though, from new releases and discounts to Virtual Console treats, plus some new NES-inspired 3DS themes.
Check out the full list below – which titles will be on your download list this week?.
