Australian Nintendo Download Updates (23/4) Kirby Crossing Kart Craziness

So this may be a bigger week than we expected! At least, no one saw a Kirby sale coming, right? On top of the Mario Kart 8 DLC, this is a pretty top notch week.

Of course, the big deal for this week is the Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8 DLC pack! It’s $10 on it’s own, or $16 with the Zelda tie-in DLC. Of course, if you bought the bundle all the way back when it was all first announced, you should be able to hop straight in! Along with the DLC is a whole lot of amiibo Mii racing suits, maybe even for a few amiibo you already own, so try them all out! Oh, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit is out on the Wii U Virtual Console, in case you want to compare the detail between the old and new version of Ribbon Road and Cheese Land!

Other than a few sales on the 3DS, the other big thing this week is a slew of Kirby games on sale to celebrate the upcoming release of Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush! The sales are going on until the 14th, a few days after the actual games release, so plenty of time to get a Kirby based bargain! Of course, if you own one of the Kirby games already, you get 10% off Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush on eShop when it comes out! Just make sure everything is linked up to the same Nintendo Network ID, of course!

So that just about wraps it all up- what’s whet your gaming appetite this week?
