New Nintendo eShop releases: Aeternoblade, Super C
Oh hey, welcome back Tumbleweed, did you have a good week off? There are just three games in this week's eShop update, and one of them is for the Wii U Virtual Console. Admittedly it's Super C, the NES sequel to run-and-gun classic Contra. The 3DS does at least get some new games. Sanuk's Spot the Differences is the epitome of self-explanatory, so let's focus on Aeternoblade, Corecell's side-scrolling combo-builder. The 2D slice-and-dicing gives it an old-school look, but there's also an air of Prince of Persia to its time-bending Aeterno Blade. Using the sword, you can rewind time to reverse deaths, as well as slow time down if things are moving a bit too fast. It's out on February 18 for $15, but in the meantime you can check out a demo. We'll (hopefully!) see a lot more games in today's Nintendo Direct, but before we start looking ahead to that, let's round out the remaining bits and bobs. Party game Spin the Bottle is getting six new camera-orientated mini-games as DLC. They're free to original purchasers, but the game's price will go up as a result - a warning for future buyers. Also, Rising Star has a sale on its 3DS selection of games, including Beyblade Evolution and the Jewel Master games, while Urban Trial Freestyle is half-price at $3.50 for another week.
NintendoWare Weekly: Spot the Differences, S.C.A.T.
We're sure you'll have no trouble spotting the difference between this week and most other weeks, in terms of Nintendo downloads: there's a Virtual Console game! Also, a game called Spot the Differences. In addition, WayForward offers a demo of its spooky WiiWare action puzzle game Lit. DSiWare is led by G.G. Series Dark Spirits, a budget shmup from Genterprise's G.G. series. And Zoo Games presents Shawn Johnson Gymnastics, a licensed DSiWare sports game. That doesn't happen often.%Gallery-115826%
The Festival of Gloriann coming soon to Vanguard
Have you been naughty or nice? Don't lie now, Atnas Claws can tell! The Festival of Gloriann is almost -- but not quite -- ready to begin in Vanguard, so you have a short period of time to turn things around if you want to be on the "good" list and cash in. There's a preview on the game's official website featuring pictures of snowmen (which may or may not be friendly), piles of presents, and even a red-nosed reindeer named Randolph -- when the festival kicks off, you'll be able to go for a flying tour of Telon on his back.We are promised more surprises when the festival is underway, but to keep you busy in the meantime, there's a Festival of Gloriann-themed game of "Spot the Differences" going on at the forums. It's probably a good idea to click the pictures for their larger versions, as it looks like there's a lot more to it than the obvious snow-fall.
