by on September 9, 2013
 

Bit of a quiet one this week. The Wii U sees the expected appearance of Super Mario Bros. and a spot of belated Dungeons and Dragons action.

Elsewhere the 3DS sees a permanent price drop on digital Sonic and some Titanic mystery-ing. The full, somewhat short, list is below.

  • Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara – Wii U Download – £11.99 

    Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara combines two timeless D&D arcade classics -Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara- into one definitive package. Battle through a rich fantasy universe with a host of new features, including HD visuals, drop-in/drop-out 4 player online co-op, customizable House Rules, leaderboards, and a trove of extras.

  • Super Mario Bros. – Wii U Virtual Console (NES) – £3.49 

    For more than 25 years, the Super Mario series has conquered the charts, and won the hearts of fans the world over. Now you can discover – or rediscover – the original game that made Mario a household name. Run and jump with Mario or Luigi through caves and castles, down pipes and across platforms, and face off against Bowser to rescue your beloved Princess Peach. It may be more than a quarter of a century old, but Super Mario Bros. is still as enchanting as ever! If you own this title on your Wii, perform a system transfer from your Wii to your Wii U to receive a special upgrade price. This is the US version of the game.

  • Sonic Generations – Nintendo 3DS Download – £19.99 

    Sonic’s universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power sends Sonic back in time. Whilst there, Sonic runs into a younger version of himself! Now they must team up to defeat their enemies, save their friends, and find out who is behind this diabolical deed. Sonic Generations allows players to play as both Classic and Modern Sonic – taking advantage of their unique abilities. Master Classic Sonic’s spin dash, and grind and boost as Modern Sonic as you run through levels created exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS console. The Nintendo 3DS version also includes additional bonus stages, as well as the exclusive 2 player versus mode – beat your friends and win the ultimate bragging rights! You can also use Street Pass to collect new content and unlock bonus material throughout the game!

  • Secrets of the Titanic 1912-2012 – Nintendo 3DS Download – £9.99 

    Join Eva and her family as they take a cruise on a ship following the same path as the ill-fated Titanic. After wearing her grandmother’s necklace, Eva starts to experience flashbacks and finds herself onboard the Titanic, not as herself, but as her beloved grandmother. Should she try and stop the Titanic from colliding with the iceberg and change the course of history forever? And, if she does prevent the disaster, what impact does it have on the future and ultimately the safety of her own family! Test your hidden-object and logic skills in this tense and exciting adventure game!

  • Toki Tori 2+ – Wii U Download – £7.79 (was £12.99) until 19/9/13

And that’s your lot for this week. Perhaps it’s a good one to revisit the likes of Earthbound or Duck Tales? Or you could give The Wonderful 101 a shot (it’s worth it).

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
