Nintendo offers up some cracking Wii U and 3DS eShop discounts this week, including two ripe deals for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Tropical Freeze. The banana-filled madness is on offer from October 16 until November 6 – that’s three weeks to get in on the Country-World action. However to take advantage of the 33 per cent off deal, Wii U owners must have downloaded a Donkey Kong Country Virtual Console game from the eShop in order to snap up Tropical Freeze and 3DS owners must have downloaded a Donkey Kong Land Virtual Console game to their device to grab Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D – all the details can be found below.
Also new on the Wii U eShop from October 16 is the Hyrule Warriors Master Quest DLC pack. which features alternative costumes for Lana and Cia, the Epona weapon for Link, a new adventure mode map, and five new Legend mode scenarios. Priced at €6.99 / £6.29 the DLC pack is a steal for the game’s fans.
Last week’s software update for the Nintendo 3DS saw the implementation of themes for the handheld device. Backgrounds with Mario, Peach, Yoshi and others were provided for users who want to add a little extra Nintendo spice to their handheld. But available from October 17 this week is four new themes all with Super Mario Galaxy background music: Spinner Mario, Bowser, Peach and Rosalina.
