Light the fire up in the night.
It’s another week where the biggest release is already out in North America with the Minecraft Super Mario Pack update hitting late Tuesday evening. But for those who are looking to spend a little money this week, you’ve got options as well, including a game long thought of as a PlayStation exclusive crossing the aisle to Wii U with PixelJunk Monsters. The legendary tower defense title might actually be regarded as a retro title given it came out on PS3 an entire (US) presidential administration ago.
Smaller releases this week include the long awaited (citation needed) North American debut of Chompy Chomp Chomp Party. On the Virtual Console, Konami brings back future pachislot legend Contra III: The Alien Wars for New 3DS (first 3rd party SNES title on that platform), while the Wii U visits the PokéPark.
For Europe, it’s all Fire Emblem all the time this week as the massive 3DS strategy RPG(s) land across the ocean, with only Revelations and the second map pack still to come. Bust out your Lucina amiibo and prepare for months upon months of strategy RPG and eugenics.
