The Lost Reavers beta sneaked up on us this week; it is now available to download on Wii U at no cost, with the full version coming on the 28th (also free to download). The game is an online, four-player co-op experience from Namco Bandai in which players must work together to navigate hazardous dungeons and retrieve valuable treasure.
New Nintendo 3DS owners now have a trio of classic SNES games available to purchase for on-the-go play sessions: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, and Super Metroid. If you’re a fan of our Game of the Month Club, you might want to consider downloading Donkey Kong Country 2 (just a tip from me to you!). The Wii U also adds another Virtual Console title to its line-up today in the form of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!, originally a Nintendo DS title.
Shovel Knight and Runbow, two successful indie games, can be purchased at discounted prices this week. Shovel Knight, available on both 3DS and Wii U, is 30% off at $9.99, while Runbow, a Wii U exclusive, is 25% off at $11.25. Another notable discount is for The Legend of Legacy on the 3DS, which is down to $29.99 from $39.99 on the eShop.
Don’t forget that Bravely Second: End Layer releases April 15, but pre-purchasing and -downloading will allow you to play the game as early as possible! The special demo, which features a quest not found in the main game, is also still available.
