Nintendo Download Update (17/7) Nightmares and Submarines

Another week has gone by already. Where are you putting them? 2014 is flying by, but we’re got your eShop update here to keep you grounded, like your coffee. Shall we?

The Wii U gains another GameBoy Advance title, and no, you didn’t dream it. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land joins the modest but strong collection of GBA Virtual Console games this week, giving Kirby the lead on GBA. On the topic of Virtual Console, the classic Earthbound is on sale until next week, so be sure to pick that up if you already haven’t! Rounding out the Wii U’s update is GAIABREAKER, a top down shoot’em up, like good ol’ times.

The 3DS is a little starved this week, with no new releases. But two great indie games are on sale instead. SteamWorld Dig is half price, which is definitely worth the price for how much you get out of it. Nnooo’s escapeVektor is 40% off, so give some Aussie indies some love! Nintendo is also offering 30% off the Steel Diver: Sub Wars premium edition, which you can buy via the in-game menu itself.

So you’ve made it this far, what are you grabbing this week? Be sure to comment your choice using riddles. I didn’t see a single haiku last time!
