Wii U owners are winner this weekend, 3DS.... well you get Picross.
Boom! A huge week not only in content but also in download size. If you’re planning on picking up Xenoblade Chronicles X from the eShop better put away a fair amount of time to simply download the monster sized game.
If you’re buying it from a store too then you’ll probably want to download the High Speed Data Loading Packs, this will install portions of the game to your external drive and make it load faster. If you have the downloaded version of the game these will not help, the game is already on the drive!
Elsewhere we have the fabulous Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure from the Wii now available on the eShop with a slight discount and a duo of Kirby games, cheaper if you buy two of them. Well there’s more incentive to pick up both before December 10.
There’s also a new game from Tomorrow Corporation, remember them? They made Little Inferno – it looks interesting and has already been released on other systems and seems to be received alright.
Last but not least is the sole game on the 3DS worth your time, Pokemon Picross – it’s free to start so you could check it out with no effect on the wallet if you so please.
If you’re wondering, Paper Mario: Paper Jam is out next week in Australia and of course isn’t listed here.
Update: We originally forgot Yo-Kai Watch on the list… we’ve since corrected it.
