eshop

Nintendo announced today that the eshop would be available at the launch of their new system: the Switch! Not only that, but there will be some Indie games on day 1 too. We have a press release below detailing what will and won’t be available on the Switch eshop’s first day! I remember when the 3DS came out and there was no online store. It was a few months before the Nintendo eshop appeared on the system. The Nintendo Switch,…

Tank Troopers, a downloadable tank game from Nintendo, was released today for the 3DS eshop. We have a launch trailer from Nintendo UK, more details about the game, and my thoughts on Tank Troopers below! Tank Troopers is a new game from Nintendo for the 3DS eshop. It is available for download right now! Here is how Nintendo describes the game: “ATTENTION! Calling all troopers for six-player tank warfare! Choose a tank, pick troopers and battle your friends via local…

If Harvest Moon and a cute 2D tower defense game had a love child, it might look like Plantera for the Wii U and 3DS eshops. Build a garden, add animals, and defend that garden like crazy from outside threats! Plantera sounds like it might be a good game for simulation and tower defense fans…but is it? The Wii U and 3DS versions of Plantera have some differences but the basic gameplay is the same between the two versions. Let’s…

Splatoon on the Wii U got a special demo before it came out. The demo was called a “Global Testfire” and was to test out Splatoon’s online. Nintendo brought back this demo a couple of times after the game was out even! And now, Nintendo Switch will be getting a Global Testfire for Splatoon 2 in March. Splatoon 2 for Nintendo Switch will be getting a Global Testfire demo in March. Check out Nintendo’s press release about the demo below:…

Final Fantasy Tactics. Disaega. Fire Emblem. Legna Tactica. Wait. What was that last one? Legna Tactica is a brand new strategy rpg for the 3DS eshop. Much like the other games named, you’ll be moving your characters across squares in various levels. Legna Tactica shares a lot in common with the games I mentioned, but is it a good game or just a cheap rip-off of other strategy rpgs? Legna Tactica has way too much dialogue! Its similar to Fire…

Not long ago, I reviewed Swap Fire for the Wii U. I liked the game. If you want a good local multiplayer game for the Wii U, then you should check out Swap Fire!  The title is currently on sale on the Wii U eshop too. We have the details below. Swap Fire for Wii U is currently on sale for 30% off on the eshop. The sale will last until February 14th. Please check out my review of Swap…

Chicken Wiggle is a platformer coming to the 3DS eshop. Not only will it have levels of its own, but it will also feature a level editor. Please take a look at the video below and then come back for my thoughts on the editor. The Chicken Wiggle level editor looks fantastic! At first, I thought it just looked neat, but as Jools Watsham showed more of the editor’s features, my jaw stayed open. The editor will allow you to…

When I bought my New 3DS, I knew there wasn’t many exclusive games for it. Still, I really wanted one of the systems because the SNES Virtual Console and also how the system improved on the internet browser. Its always great to see the occasional New 3DS exclusive game though! When I heard about Lifespeed coming to the New 3DS, I knew I wanted to review it. A fast racing game in the style of F-Zero for New 3DS?! I…

I love strategy rpgs. My favorite of this genre is still Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation 1, though I am a huge fan of the recent entries in the Fire Emblem series. So when an indie developer brings a strategy rpg to the 3DS, I’m always interested. Legna Tactica is currently available on the 3DS eshop. I recently received a review copy of the game and I’ve been playing it a lot. My review isn’t ready yet, but I…

Kecmo has brought a lot of rpgs to the Wii U and 3DS eshop. All of these games have been turn based rpgs though. Legna Tactica, just released today for the 3DS eshop, is a bit different though. Legna is a strategy rpg! I love strategy rpgs. I may even love strategy rpgs as much as I love turn-based rpgs. The jury is still out on that one. What I can tell you is that I really love how Legna…
