The show must go on. UPDATED 12pm EDT Friday
After a very rough week for the Nintendo family, it's nice to be back to near normal with a round of Nintendo downloads. We fully understand if Nintendo has gone radio silent for the downloads, so we're going by the various regional websites even more than usual this week.
Anyway, you're probably shaking in anticipation to find out what the next RFN Retroactive will be, and James's dare that we would play the next VC download has come up with Blaster Master - if you owned it on the Wii, it's upgrade eligible as well. The 3DS has a few animal love games and an air traffic control simulator, plus the return of DSiWare. Again.
And although we don't usually highlight sales in this space unless there's no other choice, 4 Corner Games's Syrenne McNulty (whom you may recall from RFN last week) has dropped the prices of I've Got to Run to a penny on the Wii U, and $.10 on the 3DS, with all proceeds resulting from these sales going to cancer research.
Across the ocean, we know that there's another Wii download on the board with PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, and the Wii U Virtual Console gets Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.
