Nintendo Download Update – PAC-MAN & Mega Man Wii U VC, BearShark 3DS

This week’s Nintendo Download Update is a bit of an improvement over last week’s, at least in terms of quantity.  The original PAC-MAN and Mega Man are both available via the Wii U Virtual Console and the 3DS gets a videogame version of BearShark.  Check out the sales too.

Read on.

Virtual Console on Wii U
PAC-MAN ? Control iconic character Pac-Man as you navigate through mazes, eating Pac-Dots and simultaneously avoiding devious ghosts. Warp from one edge of the maze to the other using tunnels, or eat a Power Pellet to turn the tables and make the ghosts vulnerable. Earn extra points to achieve the high score and see how far you can get before losing all your lives.

MEGA MAN ? Join the blue bomber in his first ever adventure as he battles the evil Dr. Wily and his robotic henchmen. Mega Man is a super robot created by the genius scientist Dr. Light. When another scientist by the name of Dr. Wily goes rogue with an army of six of his own devious Robot Masters, it’s up to Mega Man to put a stop to his nefarious plot by traversing a series of stages rife with enemies, traps and perilous platform challenges. Mega Man was originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987.
