Wii Sports Club Headlines This Week’s Nintendo Download

Posted on April 5, 2014 at 2:11 pm

Back in September, Nintendo announced that it was bringing an HD version of its Wii Sports title to the Wii U as a digital download. If you’ve been hankering to come again into the arena of Wii Sports since then, you may finally accomplish that today.

Nintendo announced today that Wii Sports Club is now available at the Nintendo eShop for Wii U. Whilst you might imagine that Wii Sports Club is merely an HD remake of Wii Sports, it goes a piece deeper than that. For starters, the sport is now online enabled so players can compete with others from world wide. It also encourages players to hitch clubs and compete against other clubs to earn points.

In another strange twist that differentiates Wii Sports Club from its predecessor, the sport can not come as an entire package. Instead, players should buy each sport separately for $10 each. Players may additionally choose to buy an afternoon pass for any sport for a discounted price. For now, only Tennis and Bowling are available in, but Boxing, Baseball and Golf can be available soon.

As for the alternative major release at the Wii U eShop, Two Tribes has released an HD remake of its first actual game – Toki Tori. The puzzle/platformer’s sequel – Toki Tori 2 – launched at the eShop earlier this year, and fans of that title will now manage to experience the sport that started all of it.

Moving onto the 3DS eShop, the sole new title is truly a game from last year. Nintendo says that child Icarus: Uprising – the primary new title inside the franchise in over twenty years – is finally at the eShop. The sport has lots of charm and is pretty fun to play when you get past its awkward controls.

Moving onto the Virtual Console, we’re treated to an extraordinary simultaneous release of the similar game on both the Wii U and 3DS. Wario’s Woods – the classic NES puzzle game – is obtainable to download on both platforms. Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t have a cross buy policy so buying the sport on one platform doesn’t will let you have it at the other. It’s a true shame, but Nintendo recently said in an interview that it’s going to consider such an option if there has been “enough demand from developers.”

As for the alternative releases, here’s the whole list:

  • 4 Elements (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
  • Crazy Chicken: Director’s Cut 3D (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
  • Crazy Chicken: Director’s Cut (DSiWare on Nintendo DSi)
  • KORG M01D (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
  • Luxor (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
  • My Baby Pet Hotel 3D (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
  • Secret Agent Files: Miami (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS)
  • On a last note, Atlus says that two of its titles at the 3DS eShop – Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan and Code of Princess – can be $10 off from November 11 through November 18.
