Aussie Nintendo Download Update (11/12) – Fast Jam Heist Advance

This might just have to be one the biggest eShop weeks in some time. We’re not talking about volume here but just the insane number of great games out this week means you’re going to have to decide carefully where you money goes or you could be parting with quite a bit of it.

First up, indies! For better or worse there are three big eShop indie games this week. One on the Wii U, two on the 3DS. First the Wii U gets FAST Racing Neo from Shin’en – they’re the ones who can make any console do amazing things. This is the F-Zero or Wipeout replacement you’ve been waiting for.

On the 3DS we’ve got an indie stalwart in the form of Terraria making its way to the portable console. It’s also coming to the Wii U at some point but for now 3DS owners can pick it up. After amazing us with Steamworld Dig, Image&Form are back with SteamWorld Heist! We’re reviewing it right now and should have a verdict on that one shortly.

Back to Nintendo now, after a week delay Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros is here for Australia and New Zealand. If you were worried about that wait just remember Europe don’t get Yo-Kai Watch until next year. There’s also two Game Boy Advance games to check out, Solarium an old favourite of ours here – maybe give it a shot?

If you got the money of course. So then, what are you picking up?
