Nintendo has revealed the list of new downloadable titles and sales on its North American 3DS and Wii U eShops for the week of December 11, 2014. Here’s the list of the digital content highlights releasing on Nintendo’s digital distribution platform within the next seven days.
On the 3DS eShop:
- Hazumi ($3.99)
In this Puzzle game, you must destroy all the crystal blocks of the levels with your controlled ball to proceed. The thing is, you can only destroy the blocks if they match the color of your ball. Additionally, Hazumi features over 100 puzzles and a level editor that makes it totally worth its $4 price point.
- I Love My Horse (Free Demo)
Although it officially releases next week on the 17th, a free demo for I Love My Horse is currently available to download on the 3DS eShop. You’ll be able to train your horse and enter him in selected competitions.
- I Love My Little Boy & I Love My Little Girl ($24.99 Each)
This duo of baby-handling titles is the perfect experience for someone who wants to discover what it is like to be a parent. You’ll have to feed him, bathe him, dress him, and take on the multiple duties of being a mom or a dad. A free demo for both games is also available to download.
- My First Songs 2 ($4.99)
Well, it only took RingZero Games two weeks to release a sequel to the original My First Songs title. The second installment of the rhythm game introduces 14 new popular kid’s tracks, including hits like We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Head Shoulders Knees & Toes and Deck the Hall.
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy ($29.99)
Relive the thrill of the courtroom by playing all three previously-released Nintendo DS Phoenix Wright titles, including Ace Attorney, Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations, within the same package. Those who have never experienced these games will get to enjoy the exciting nature of this crime investigation drama and, for those who have already played these titles in the past, you’ll get to enjoy the remastered visuals with the 3DS’ capability as you go through Phoenix Wright’s early career as a lawyer.
- Talking Phrasebook – 7 Languages ($4.99)
Ever feel lost whenever you travel to a foreign country? Well, Talking Phrasebook is the perfect companion to learn over 780 written and spoken English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch expressions to learn.
- Xeodrifter ($9.99)
Xeodrifter is Renegade Kid’s interstellar Metroidvania-type title. Though the main protagonist’s motivations are solely based on exploring the planets in the Omega sector, he will find himself blasting through alien landscapes and defeating ancient guardians during his adventure. Sadly, we thought it wasn’t worth its $10 price point.
On the Wii U eShop:
- Lucadian Chronicles (Free-to-Play)
Lucadian Chronicles is another take on the highly popular Free-to-Play Online Card Battling genre that has increased in popularity since the release of Blizzard’s Hearthstone. Fortunately, this title also supports Single-player gameplay, meaning you’ll be able to learn its ways and collect the more than 100 cards that are present in the game to take on your opponents without any problem online. However, the Free-to-Play version is very limited and you’ll most likely want to pay the $8 required to unlock the game’s full potential.
On the 3DS Virtual Console:
- Harvest Moon 3 GBC ($4.99)
It’s time to build another farm from the ground up with Harvest Moon 3 GBC. Since the game is set on an island this time around, it is going to be a little tougher to farm in these new life conditions. Still, you’ll be exploring the land for resources, interacting with many other characters and take on multiple different tasks on this tropical adventure.
On the Wii U Virtual Console:
- Crash ‘n the Boys Street Challenge ($4.99)
Crash and the Southside boys isn’t the most liked gang in the bunch as it is challenged by multiple other high schools to a street challenge to be wiped out. This means that you, as a the leader of one of four high school teams, will have to part in the various sporting events like the Hammer Throw, Swimming, Judo and more to stand victorious.
