Nintendo eShop Digital Download Thursdays
It’s not surprising to see such a low amount of eShop games this week. Everyone’s attention is undoubtedly focused on tonight and the future with the Nintendo Switch Presentation. There are some decent deals on games that are on sale. Plus, gamers get to play F-Zero X on the Wii U, which is a pretty decent game (not as good as the GameCube or SNES versions, but you can’t win them all). Here’s what’s on tap:
This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:
- Virtual Console on Wii U
- F-Zero X – In this high-octane Nintendo 64 racer, choose from 30 different hover-car racers, including updated versions of the Blue Falcon and other vehicles from the original F-Zero game. With five separate play modes, hidden vehicles and courses, and an excellent soundtrack, F-Zero X is an all-time classic Nintendo racing experience.
Nintendo eShop sales:
- Nintendo eShop on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS
- Great deals this week include Rubik’s Cube, Tadpole Treble and Buddy & Me: Dream Edition, plus several more! Check out the full list of deals on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U available this week at http://www.nintendo.com/games/sales-and-deals.
Also new this week:

In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to Nintendo eShop on the Wii U console, the Nintendo 3DS family of systems and the Wii™ Shop Channel for the Wii console.
