Out this week on the eShop (29th Sept)
This week on the eShop there is actually a lot. Surprising I know, but great to see nonetheless. Up first, is Azure Striker GUNVOLT 2, the good spiritual successor to Megaman, then there’s Steamworld Heist makes its to the Wii U, also out are the excellent looking Soul Axiom and the 8bit reboot of River City Ransom; River City: Tokyo Rumble (fans of beat ’em ups need to check this one out). In the dlc department there are new tracks for the Wipeout inspired Fast Racing Neo and Phoenix Wright. I’m quite excited for the Shantae theme that’s coming to 3DS also. Finally just to top it off there are permanent price drops as new Wii U games join the selects range including the extremely fun Mario 3D World. Of course there is even more than this which you can check out below,

However, its name has been passed down amongst the thousands sent into space on a ship for the purpose of avoiding the extinction of the human race. Liking this to the one from the legend of the Great Flood that destroyed Earth, people began referring to this ship as “”Noah’s Cradle””. One such Cradle struggled along until it reached a large gas planet. Confirmed within the planet’s atmosphere were gigantic creatures that ranged from between an estimated several hundred to several thousand kilometres in length. The harsh atmosphere wasn’t the only thing that stood in the Cradle’s way as it descended into the atmosphere. The Cradle was under attack. |
