Stun enemies, destroy barriers, and detonate bombs—and do much more—by using the stylus. Unlock special features by collecting medals in each stage and completing in-game tasks!”
Animal Crossing: Wild World
“Get ready to start a new life! Whether you want to decorate your home, catch bugs or fish, join in on special events, or just chat with the locals, there’s always plenty to do! Accessorize your life with over 600 new items. Design constellations, clothes, and flags. Take part in events as the seasons come and go!”
Nintendo’s website doesn’t list prices yet, but both should cost $9.99 each.

Antipole DX pushed back to 2017
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Antipole DX will no longer launch in 2016 as originally planned. In a Miiverse post, creator Edward Di Geronimo explained that the project is roughly 95 percent complete, though other obligations have prevented development from finishing entirely. Although it’s nearly done, we won’t be seeing Antipole DX this year.
Geronimo isn’t ready to share any sort of new date at the moment. He said Antipole DX “is very close to done and doesn’t need a lot more work, but I’m just not sure when the timing will work out.”

Ezekiel Rage is working on Gravity+, a new puzzle game for the Wii U eShop. In it, players need to grab the key and reach the exit while taking on encounter hazards and obstacles.
