Nintendo Download: Kid Icarus 3D, I Must Run!

Posted on April 19, 2012 by John Scalzo

Welcome to today’s Nintendo Download where we tell you all about a “3D Classics” version of Kid Icarus on the 3DS eShop and the running-platformer I Must Run! on the DSi Shop.

OK, done. Now let Nintendo tell you about them again, in a bit more detail:

3D Classics: Kid Icarus (3DS eShop) – Relive Pit’s first adventure in 3D Classics: Kid Icarus as you venture from the depths of the underworld up to the heights of the sky palace. Play in 2D or 3D as you face down the evil goddess Medusa.

I Must Run! (DSiWare) – I Must Run! is a skill-based action running game. Jump across gaps between jail buildings, run through a subway station, and test your reflexes in a deadly dash over construction site cranes.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Hands-On Preview: Tapping to Familiar Tunes

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Nicole Kline

They’ve got a seemingly never-ending supply of resources in their library, with a huge list of popular franchises.

Nintendo Download: Ketzal’s Corridors, Anne’s Doll Studio

Posted on April 12, 2012 by John Scalzo

Nintendo is adding only two games to their various download services today, which is quite possibly a first for the company. Perhaps the creation of WiiWare and DSiWare games is coming to an end?

But any future speculation hasn’t stopped today’s addition, which include the Tetris-like puzzler Ketzal’s Corridors (3DS eShop) and paper doll simulator Anne’s Doll Studio: Tokyo Collection. Yes, you read that correctly.

More info on both of these games can be found after the break. (more…)

Posted on April 7, 2012 by John Scalzo

If you’re spending this weekend in Boston for PAX East, next week’s new releases are probably the last thing on your mind. Well, that’s not entirely accurate as Nintendo is demoing Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir and it’ll be available in stores next week. It is next week’s biggest new release by far, though a trio of other games will be available…

There’s Phantom Breaker (Xbox 360), a 2D fighting game from new publishing label 7Sixty.

There’s also the 4-In-1 Action Pack (PS3), which includes Mushroom Wars, Digger HD, Smash Cars and Wakeboarding HD.

Finally, there’s Top Trumps: NBA All Stars, which is a game that is for the 3DS. And it features Top Trumps.

Who? Top. Trumps.
