Nintendo Download Update (22/1) – Apes of Wrath
Got a Wii U? Like Donkey Kong? Well, you’re in luck, because that’s the majority of this weeks update! Other than ATLUS’ new game Citizens of Earth, the Wii U is getting 3 classic DK games, including our second Wii downloadable game! Donkey Kong Country Returns will be $13 for a week upon release, which is half price. Probably worth getting, even if you have a disc copy somewhere. Gotta love not swapping discs!
The 3DS is also getting Citizens of Earth, with a bit of a cross buy promotion going on, if you own a copy of the game on the other console. On top of that, there’s two ATLUS games on sale this week, as well as 3 NES themes for your home screen. The themes usually go up on the Saturday, so keep your eyes peeled!
So that’s it from us, what are you grabbing this week?

Im intrigued to find out exactly how much of a discount $X is on SMT4. Its allready pretty cheap so I’ll have to bite.
What does $X mean for SMT4?? What’s the discounted price?
It means they are not sure of the price yet.
Looks like it’s been updated – 17 bucks for SMT4 is a great price 🙂
I already have SMT, but I’ll be picking up Citizens of Earth tomorrow
SMT4 is still showing up at $27. Does anyone know when the sale starts?
Not until Midnight.
Ah okay – thanks!
Actually it’s 1am now, damned timezones – Its 9pm my time (Perth) I forgot you were 3 hours in front!
SMT4 GET!
So I realized we got DKCR instead of Punch Out like the States. Surely we’ll get it down the line, right?
If I recall correctly from last week’s Nintendo Direct, we’ll be getting Punch-Out!! next week, followed by Kirby’s Adventure Wii. I think Sin and Punishment: Successor to the Skies was also announced but it was never previously released in Australia nor has it been classified for a potential eShop release (yet), so there is the possibility that we may miss out on this.
JB Hi-Fi did however, grey import some copies and (illegally) pasted the N64 Sin and Punishment’s classification on the cover due to the lack of an official classification.
Pretty sure next week is Metroid Prime Trilogy.
Yeah, next week is Metroid Prime Trilogy.
While some other games have been teased, none have had an announcement on dates and none have been stated by Nintendo to be half price upon release outside of the initial three.
