Here’s This Week’s Nintendo Downloads In The US

Nintendo of America has announced the games that you can get your hands on this week on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShop. Disney Infinity is now available to download on the eShop for the first time so it’s no longer retail only.  You can also purchase Mega Man 6 on the Wii U Virtual Console.

  • Nintendo eShop on Wii U
    • Disney Infinity – For the first time, Disney Infinity is available in the Nintendo eShop – and it’s free to download. Enjoy online multiplayer and more fun ways to play.

(A Disney Infinity Figure and Base, sold separately, are required to play the downloadable version of the game.) Click here to watch a trailer for the game.
  • Virtual Console on Wii U
    • Mega Man 6 – Every Thursday in August, Nintendo and Capcom are bringing classic Mega Man games to the Virtual Console service in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U. This week: Mega Man 6, which originally launched on NES. On the eve of the Grand Championship of the First Annual Robot Tournament, Mr. X announced that the entire tournament was just a scheme to get his hands on the world’s most powerful robots. Mega Man must battle through 16 levels to defeat his ferocious new foe. Click here to watch a trailer for the game.
    • Life Force – Blast your way through six stages of intense action and take on wave after wave of enemies, alternating between horizontal- and vertical-scrolling environments.

    • Xtreme Sports – Choose your hero and master sports like Skateboarding, In-Line Skating, Street Luge, Skyboarding and Surfing to become crowned the Xtreme Sports Champion.

      I have neither the money, nor the time for a game like that. But I really want to try it sometimes! Probably getting it sometime in the future. Mostly, it’s the 2.0 figures I want, but some of the originals are cool too!

        I bought it a few months ago abs it wasn’t what I expected. First of all getting all the characters you wane, etc would take all your money, also the game didn’t run that well, it freezes a little bit sometimes :/

        I ended up returning it for a refund.

          Noticed! I will try the game sometime when I visit my family, I think my little brother owns it, with a starter pack. Maybe it will be easy and cheap to get some of the figures in a few years, too!

    I am so sick of Mega Man….

    I can’t wait for Zero Mission and Fire Emblem on VC. i know it’s not a matter of “if”, but more of a “when” but patience is wearing thin!

    Man, I can’t wait for DK Junior Math! Totally psyched! That game should last me a few months until Hyrule Warriors. Oh wait… It’s a terrible game that you can play for free on the original Animal Crossing. But, in all honesty, why isn’t Nintendo bringing better games to the virtual console?

    If an iPhone was able to emulate gba games, why can’t Nintendo find a way to add games faster? There are so many classic good games they could be adding.

    And- question- does Nintendo maintain the right to add games to virtual console that are from 3rd parties? Like, for instance, could Nintendo add 007 Goldeneye, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, or Castlevania Aria of Sorrow?

      Nope, they need to get the rights from the original content creators. All of them. Which can be a problem for a lot of games. That’s why it took so long for earthbound to get a us VC release. And paying to get these rights, they want each game to have a chance to sell well, that’s why they release them so slowly, otherwise people would just skip over a bunch to the ones they remember or have heard the most about, and a number wouldn’t even be looked at. To keep that from happening (and also because of porting time and them probably using minimal resources on it) the releases are slow, with big titles only coming out every now and then

        Thanks for the responce, Anon.
        Ah, ok. I wasn’t too sure about the corporate stuff they have to go through to rerelease 3rd party games. Still- I find the idea of only releasing a game every month (on virtual console) to be a pretty silly business plan.
        Nevertheless- I hope Gamecube games are re-released soon on VC (+I hope Gamestop has Gamecube games too). My copy of Melee is scratched and there is a few games that I missed out on. Here’s hoping for F-Zero GX and Fire Emblem Path of Radiance on the VC.

    All right! Those of us who were screwed with the Wii version of Infinity can get the (slightly) better version free!
