Nintendo Download Updates (23/1) The opposite of epic

Below is the poorest example of what a weekly update could be for both the Wii U and 3DS. Apart from the sales on the 3DS which aren’t too bad there’s absolutely nothing redeeming here.

One Virtual Console game for the Wii U? One for the 3DS as well. Least that one we haven’t played possibly a million times before.

To make matters worse we miss out on Unepic thanks to our woeful classification system. You can switch to the European Wii U eShop to get it but of course it’ll only be too long before they close that loophole too.

With possibly thousands of games waiting in the wings for the Virtual Console the fact we get one is only made worse when there’s nothing else available.

At this point why even bother?
