The releases for the Nintendo eShop this week are pretty bare, but there’s definitely a few games here worth checking out. For Super Smash Bros. fans, you’ll be happy to know Nintendo has released several new stages and Mii Fighter costumes for you to check out. There’s bundle pricing available as well, so if you decide you want everything you’ll save a few bucks.
Other notable releases include Freedom Planet, a game that was delayed twice in order to fix a critical error, and River City Ransom on the Virtual Console. Check out the full list of new releases below.
Nintendo eShop on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U – DLC – Fans of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U can now add even more fun with a free update and new DLC for purchase on both versions. The free update includes a Duck Hunt stage for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and the ability to upload match replay highlights to YouTube in the Wii U version of the game. In addition, players can now purchase new Mii Fighter costumes – like Fox (from the and Star Fox series) and Toad outfits – as well as a Pirate Ship stage for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U inspired by The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and a Super Mario Maker stage for both versions of the game.
Nintendo eShop on Wii U
Freedom Planet – Fight your way across the celestial world of Avalice, where cats are green, motorcycles drive up walls and monster girls do most of the butt kicking! Freedom Planet is a cartoony, combat-based platform adventure that pits a spunky dragonoid and her friends against an alien attack force. If you downloaded the demo during the limited-time Nindies@Home promotion, you can save 15 percent off your purchase of Freedom Planet until Nov 1.
Toto Temple Deluxe – Toto Temple Deluxe is a fast-paced, local-multiplayer king-of-the-hill style game, in which players must steal an egg-laying goat from their friends and try to keep it on their own head for as long as possible. You know, normal stuff. Be the first to grab the explosive goat and keep it long enough for it to detonate near your soon-to-be-dead rivals. Lose the goat and the timer resets. Play as teams or in free-for-all.
Virtual Console on Wii U
River City Ransom – In this much-loved NES classic, free River City from the clutches of Slick and his underlings. Battle it out on the streets solo or with a friend.
