Wii U eShop

Capcom is running a winter sale on the North American Wii U and 3DS eShops (Europe as well), but there are a ton of other discounts on both digital stores. Legend of Kay Anniversary, Runbow, SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, and Lord of Magna are just a few of the included games.

We’ve rounded up some of the more notable sales across both platforms. The full list can be seen below.

Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.

Update (12/23): The discount is now in place, so you should find that the $2 discount upgrade is live.


Original (12/22): Mario Party 2 launched on Wii U today, though this isn’t the first time the game has seen a Virtual Console release. It also came out on Wii many years ago. Of course, that means those who purchased the original Virtual Console version should be entitled to a $2 upgrade price on Wii U instead of the full $10. But unfortunately, it’s not showing up currently.

Zelda: Majora’s Mask went through something similar a few weeks ago. Soon after the issue was reported, Nintendo corrected the problem. I imagine that will be the case here as well.

Two new games have received release dates on the European eShop.

On 3DS, Choice Provisions will be publishing Shift DX towards the start of January. The game will be ready on January 12 for €4.99.

Also, on Wii U, we have Toby: The Secret Mine – which we just heard about yesterday. It’s set for January 19 with a €9.99 price point.

We’ve included the eShop listings for both titles below.

Having previously made Collateral Thinking for Wii U, Astrosaurus Games is now setting its sights on another eShop project. Developer Neil Armstrong told 4colorrebellion that a title involving puzzles known as “Ruff Copy” is in the works. In it, “you play as a disgruntled worker at a dog-cloning factory that is trying to help all of the dogs escape their test chamber prisons with nothing but a laser pointer.”

Armstrong is also considering Mage Boy and Dash Assault for Wii U. The former was created at GBJam and would be adapted for Nintendo’s console while the latter is a party platformer.

Headup Games has announced plans to bring Toby: The Secret Mine to Wii U, a puzzle-platformer inspired by Limbo and Badland. Players can expect various puzzles, dangerous and challenging traps and enemies, and “beautifully handcrafted environments.

Here’s a rundown of the game’s premise:

“A peaceful way of life in a small village in the mountains was thrown into disorder. Someone has kidnapped most of it’s residents. A couple of brave hearts tried to rescue their friends but none of them has returned. Little Toby didn’t want to just sit and wait so he decided to find them by himself. He went to the near deep forest but he soon realized this is just a beginning of a big adventure.

Go with Toby on an eerie adventure in a dark and creepy world full of dangerous situations, enemies and challenging puzzles.”

Toby: The Secret Mine will be on the eShop early next year, “some weeks before Nintendo Switch will launch.” We’ve posted a trailer from the original release below.
