Nintendo Download – July 24 eShop Releases (Europe)
Welcome to another Monday and another look at what will be released on the European eShop this week. There are a few nice new releases on the Wii U front, plus plenty of Mega Man virtual console action for fans. And, as always, there are some tempting discounts to consider on both 3DS and Wii U.
So check out the full list below and let us know which titles might be on your watch list this week.
Wii U eShop
- Master Reboot (Wales Interactive, €11.99 / £9.99) – described as a haunting first person sci-fi adventure, you’ll be tasked with solving puzzles in the Soul Cloud while attempting to make sense of your character’s life and death.
- Super Toy Cars (Eclipse Games, €7.99 / £6.99) – a game that strikes us as slight mash-up between Mario Kart and Micro Machines, though those are lofty comparisons. Basically it’s a racing game, with a career mode and local multiplayer support, and 12 tracks, 16 vehicles and 48 career events.
- Wooden Sen’SeY (Neko Entertainment, €9.99 / £8.00) – an action platformer that sees you running and jumping plus using a grapple and combat moves all set in ‘SteamPunk Japan’.
Wii U Virtual Console
- Mega Man Battle Network (Capcom, €6.99 / £6.29) – from Game Boy Advance title finally arrives on the Wii U, and it’s the first entry in the action RPG Mega Man spin-offs.
- Mega Man 5 (Capcom, €4.99 / £3.49) – this was part of Capcom’s Mega May event on the 3DS, and now arrives on the Wii U. Note: this is the US version of the game.
- Mega Man 6 (Capcom, €4.99 / £3.49) – the last Mega Man title, completing the NES set on the Wii U. This game was the end of an era and even introduced armour into the formula. Aside from that it was a safe effort that didn’t quite live up to some of the glorious earlier entries. Again, this is the US version of the game.
