REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:
- 30 Year Anniversary. 30 Days Limited Discount. 30 Cents.
- To help celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Famicom (which was known as the NES™ in the United States), Wii U™ owners can purchase one select Virtual Console title each month during the promotion at a 30-day special price of 30 cents. To kick off this celebration, Balloon Fight™ is now available for purchase in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U.
Based on the scan above, it looks like Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon contains co-op multiplayer. You’ll be able to team up with three other Luigis! We may be getting more details later today.
Index Holdings, the parent company of Atlus, has issued an official announcement regarding Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. Nintendo announced the crossover title during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct.
The press release confirms one new tidbit: Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem will be an RPG. Development is being handled in conjunction with Nintendo.

Mother 2 automatically makes Japan’s lineup better, in my opinion. We’ll be getting Punch-Out!! instead. Fire Emblem is also planned for release in Japan in February while North America will be receiving F-Zero.
GameStop has ended online and in-store pre-orders for Fire Emblem: Awakening. Hopefully those of you who were interested the game already reserved the title. As some of you know, GameStop will be providing a Limited Edition art book with all pre-orders.
You may remember that GameCenter CX did a special episode with Satoru Iwata late last year. That segment featured Balloon Fight. Now GameCenter has returned with a new episode focusing on the same game – this time with the Wii U VC release.
