There are a number of Wii and DS games that offer free downloadable content. For instance, players can download a bunch of additional puzzles for Picross 3D and Professor Layton at no extra costs.

If this DLC interests you, you’ll need to grab it before the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection closes on May 20. While paid DLC will still be accessible, free content will be good for good.

A Nintendo representative told NintendoWorldReport:

“The bonus Layton puzzles and such will no longer be available. So you need to get them before the service shuts down. Paid stuff will still be available, though (Wii Shop Channel, etc.).”

Twisted Fusion, a new open-world action platformer coming from one-man developer Leuvision, is heading to the Wii U eShop.

Twisted Fusion stars Cora, a girl who is stranded on a new world with strange creatures. She’s trying to find her way home, but an enemy shrouded in darkness won’t make things easy.

The game features a day/night system and weather system. Furthermore, environments change based on what the time of day/weather is.

Bigger enemies will appear at night. Also, enemies become much angrier when it’s raining. Cora will wield dual water pistols to take down foes.

“The whole world is connected without level select, but you don’t need to backtrack to progress,” creator Lewis Pugh told NintendoWorldReport. “Certain areas of the game can also be completed out of order.”

Twisted Fusion will be available in Q4 2014.

Nintendo will release Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball on the North American 3DS eShop next week, a notice on the store’s announcement bar appears to confirm. A general April launch had been previously announced.

While the announcement bar mentions next week’s arrival, the Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball page still simply lists “April”. In any case, it does look like the game is coming out next week. We’ll try to officially confirm things with Nintendo.

Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball – assuming the announcement bar is correct – will be available on April 3 as a free-to-play title.
