Nintendo Download Updates (2/4) Now we’re feeling it
Every week when we do this eShop update article we’re faced with a couple of problems.
Sometimes its games announced by Nintendo of Europe that we’re not sure if we’re going to get in Australia, the other is sale prices for games which are always different to what we calculate them to be based on the European price. This usually involves us staying up until 1am on Friday to get the proper pricing – sucks huh.
This week’s problem is a little different, we have all of the prices… because really there is only three things coming, well so far! An update this empty means one of two things, firstly it could just be a really bad update – or there’s a Direct coming and we might see a few more things added; we will update the boxes below and the listings when we figure it out.

Azure Gunvolt should be coming this week too. I added the game page to my watch list before they removed it, so I still have access. It is listed as a 3rd of April release (this weeks update) and is priced at $16.90.
Everyone seems to think a Nintendo Direct is coming over the next couple of days, but while I hope that’s true (I’m hanging out for one as much as the next guy) I can’t really see it happening. I’ve said it before, but I think a mid-late April Direct is more likely. But either way, we should hear something very soon.
Well well, it would seem there’s a Nintendo Direct! I expect the list to expand a little. Perhaps with a little help from Mewtwo! Or at the very least a release date, but that’d still leave the eShop a little dry for the week.
You guys called it! That’s why I follow you, your nintendo analysis seems to be more spot on than other sources I follow
