Back to Bed

It's that time, once again, for the Nintendo Download Update details for North America. This week offers up a few interesting choices, so let's get to it.

Missed the European Nintendo Download Update? Turn that frown upside down, the details are still waiting for you right here.

3DS eShop

Tank Troopers (Nintendo, $7.99) - A cartoonish tank battle game announced in a Nintendo Direct last year and given a decent amount of promotion in Japan, in particular. 36 customisations are promised for tanks, accompanying a broad cast of characters and various maps and modes; there's support for up to six battlers in local multiplayer, too. We'll head into battle for a review.

Wii U eShop

Back to Bed (Bedtime Digital Games, $9.99) – Back to Bed is a 3D indie puzzle game set in a unique and artistic dream world, in which you guide sleepwalker Bob to the safety of his bed. To achieve this, you must take control of Bob's subconscious guardian named Subob. The pair travels through a surreal and painting-like dream world, filled with objects used to guide Bob toward the Bed, but also dangers that must be avoided. We quite liked it in our review.

WALL BALL (RCMADIAX, $1.49) - RCMADIAX is back with what is claimed to be a suspenseful zigzag endless runner game with simple, yet appealing 3D graphics. The levels are randomly generated and a long lasting gaming experience is promised. Don't get your hopes up too much and you might not be too disappointed.

COLOR CUBES (RCMADIAX, $1.49) - Not one, but two games from the prolific RCMADIAX this week. Tap the screen to switch the color boxes, or keep them the way they are. You must act quickly as the game gets faster and faster. Doesn't that sound thrilling?

Wii U Virtual Console

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber (Square Enix, $9.99) – A tactical RPG originally released for the Nintendo 64 system. The game tells the story of Magnus Gallant, a recently graduated officer of the Palatinean Army who is assigned to the troubled southern region of his native land. With civil war brewing, Magnus is faced with a terrible choice: betray his own noble origins in the name of liberty, or turn a blind eye to the evils of his rotten society. We awarded this top marks when reviewed it back on the Wii Virtual Console!
