Nintendo Store Update – 09/03/2012

March 9, 2012

This week’s Nintendo Store Update is a pretty well-rounded one compared with recent weeks. Four titles are available, strewn across both Nintendo’s home and handheld consoles. On the Wii, gamers can expect to have Megaman X and Samurai Shodown 4: Amakusa’s Revenge. Meanwhile, in the 3DS eShop arena, you can look forward to downloading Fun Fun Minigolf TOUCH! and Kid Icarus: Of Myth and Monsters. 

Title: Megaman X
System: SNES (Virtual Console)
Price: 800 Wii Points

The first in the X  series of Megaman games, Megaman X  made its debut on the SNES in late 1993-early 1994. X tweaks the formula a bit by giving your character a few new abilities, such as scaling walls, building up armour, dashing and other unique abilities.

Title: Samurai Shodown 4: Amakusa’s Revenge
System: Neo Geo (Virtual Console)
Price: 900 Wii Points

First release on the Neo Geo console in 1996, Samurai Shodown 4: Amakusa’s Revenge is another entry into the fighting game series with a mix of old and new characters. It’s regarded by many as an improvement on its predecessor in several ways, such as controls and the general fun factor.

Title: Fun Fun Minigolf TOUCH!
System: 3DS Download
Price: $7.50

One for the jovial sports nuts among you, Fun Fun Minigolf TOUCH! is a brand new 3DS title that allows you to take your Mii to the tiny putting green across fifty-four holes. It has a big emphasis on touch-screen controls and is rendered in 3D.

  

Title: Kid Icarus: Of Myths & Monsters
