The heavily anticipated Shin Megami Tensei IV will arrive in stores and on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on Tuesday. We’ve played the game and it’s fantastic. Click the sidebar for our review of the game.
Also hitting the eShores are a couple of Virtual Console titles on the Wii U in the original Metroid and Donkey Kong. Down the way of the 3DS you can also go retro with another serving of the Mario game. Super Mario Bros. 2 is this week’s helping.
The upcoming Dreamworks Picture Turbo has its very own game on both the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. The game hits retail and eShop on Tuesday. Also after the Marvel crew got their own virtual tabletop game, the Star Wars franchise gets its own version of Pinball. Take a look at Star Wars Pinball on the Wii U.
