This week’s Nintendo eShop releases for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS are pretty hefty. First up is the long-awaited Fast Racing Neo on the Wii U, which will be as close as an F-Zero game that we get until Nintendo decides to use Captain Falcon outside of Smash again. Devil’s Third is also finally available in the Wii U eShop, but Nintendo didn’t advertise that fact at all in their press email, which you’ll see below.
The Nintendo 3DS is getting the bulk of good titles here, with Steamworld Heist releasing today, as well as Terraria. Steamworld Heist looks particularly fun if you enjoy strategy games, so be sure and check it out.
Nintendo eShop on Wii U
FAST Racing NEO – Available exclusively in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U, FAST Racing NEO lets you jump into the driver’s seat of anti-gravity vehicles and put them through their paces in high-octane competitions at 60 frames per second. Try to become a legend by besting all three of the leagues, each of which ramps up the competition … and the speed! Tear through 16 winding, twisting tracks that showcase stunning locales and realistic weather conditions.
