Another week begins as we creep towards the Holidays, and Nintendo of Europe once again sends us on our way with a fresh download update. This week has some promising offerings, including more 3D SEGA goodies, a long awaited 3DS RPG and a much overdue Wii U and 3DS retail release;...
Luigi branded blankets and eye mask appear in one dreamy package
With the insane amount of Nintendo joy we've all been experiencing this month, you wouldn't be judged for forgetting the simple things in life — such as eating, sleeping or general hygiene. Nintendo is full of caring people, however, and after a month of major releases has decided...
Mario's 3D adventure arrives, 3D SEGA Classics and a lot more
It's Monday, which means that the European Nintendo Download will give us a pleasing start to the week. On the way, most notably, is Mario's critically acclaimed 3D début on the Wii U, while the 3D classics from SEGA finally arrive in the West for the first time; in addition we also...
Have you caught one yet?
We recently reported on 2DS Pokémon X And Y bundles hitting South Korea, and at the same time wondered if these packs would see a wider release. Seems we didn't have to wait long for the answer, as we're hearing reports that Euro retailers already have Pokémon X and Y bundles in stock. Dutch toy store
Great for newcomers
Nintendo of Europe has today announced a promotion to encourage new 3DS owners to register their systems, buy a game and — by extension — perhaps get a taste for Wii U-exclusive Super Mario 3D World.

Football Manager, Nintendo style
Previously released in Japan as Pocket Soccer League: Calciobit in 2012, Nintendo has announced that Nintendo Pocket Football Club will hit the back of the net on the 3DS eShop in Europe next year.

Get the party started
Not too long ago we reported that Mario Party: Island Tour had suffered a delay into early 2014 — it was previously scheduled to arrive this month in Europe. Today's Nintendo Direct confirmed that the title will launch in the region on 17th January 2014, bringing with it a variety of wacky mini-games and seven new boards to...

Picross, Mega Man returns, unpronounceable puzzles, discounts and more
It's just another manic Monday, dear readers, but Europeans can once again take solace in the week's download offerings. This time around we have the continuation of a popular puzzle series, a new puzzle IP, some rather fun 16-bit Mega Man and a scattering of other goodies...
Wii Sports returns, Layton's legacy, Olympics, Batman and much more
The download details for Europe arrived a little later than usual this week, possibly because it's a rather lengthy release list. We have high profile retail games on Wii U and 3DS, along with some interesting download-only options and discounts both permanent and temporary...
eShop demo will also be made available prior to launch
NIS America has confirmed what we all suspected: dungeon-crawling epic Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl is indeed headed to Europe. There's no solid release date as yet, but the publisher has confirmed that the game is coming in 2014. It has also been revealed that it will be...
Free fitness for U, Castlevania gets super, a lot of discounts and more
This week's download news for Europe arrived a little later than normal, which we'll assume is an attempt to creep us out before they arrive on the creepiest day of the year. This time around we're light on new releases, though a major Wii franchise makes its awaited début on...

The 3DS title will of course be available in the eShop and will be a fair sized download. You'll need to have 7,309 blocks available in order...
Phoenix Wright, Mighty Switching on Wii U and a ludicrous range of options
Some weeks can be rather quiet in the Nintendo Download update; this is not one of those weeks. This may well be the longest list of downloads and promotions that we've seen yet, with some anticipated titles and a few that have rather come out of left-field. There's a...
I'm Luigi, number one!
To further celebrate the Year of Luigi, Nintendo of Europe has updated its Club Nintendo Stars Catalogue with this gorgeous commemorative gold-coloured coin. The item, which features the 'other brother', will set you back 1,500 of your hard earned Star Coins, and we couldn't think of a better item to spend them on. It comes...
There are even a few spare copies left
Back in July, Ghostlight made the DS title Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 available for pre-order in Europe on its website and said it would sell the games if enough people reserved a copy. Sure enough, there were plenty of eager gamers in Europe who did just that, despite the possibility of the...
Sneaky business afoot in Germany?
The Wii U is unique in that it offers the second screen experience right out of the box — with rival consoles attempting to leverage smartphone and tablet applications to create the same kind of gameplay, Nintendo has an advantage in that users don't have to own additional hardware to achieve the same result...
Expect it on the 31st October
During the Summer, developer Two Tribes announced on its Twitter account that it was working on a "Two Tribes Classics" series for the Wii U, which is set to include previously released titles such as Toki Tori, RUSH and EDGE. Earlier this month,
