Nintendo Download Update – Tomodachi Life, 1001 Spikes

NIntendo’s unique (and lately controversial) Mii life simulator, Tomodachi Life, is surely the highlight of this week’s eShop update.

If you’re looking for a deadly difficult old-school platformer, 1001 Spikes for the 3DS and Wii U should fit the bill. How to Train Your Dragon 2 launches for both platforms early next week as well.

Read on for all the details, sales and whatnot.

Tomodachi Life ? What happens when friends, family and celebrities become Mii characters and live on an island? Tomodachi Life, that?s what! Give Mii characters items, voices and personalities, then watch as they rap, rock, eat donuts, play sports, dress like dinosaurs, ride a roller coaster, walk a fashion show runway and dream about being a snail. Wait ? what?! In Tomodachi Life, Mii characters hang out, play concerts, engage in rap battles and even partake in cool games like Tomodachi Quest, a mini-RPG adventure. Expect the unexpected ?Tomodachi Life will be available on June 6. Click here to check out the trailer for the game.

Virtual Console on Wii U
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap ? The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap plays a pivotal part in the Four Swords storyline of The Legend of Zelda series, and is the first and only game in which Link explores the land of the Minish ? a tiny, mysterious kingdom on the surface of Hyrule. That makes this unique entry in The Legend of Zelda series a must-play for new and old fans alike. Inventive items like the Mole Mitts and Gust Jar give Link powers he?ll need to use wisely if he wants to save the puzzling world of Hyrule and the miniature land of the Minish. When there?s a princess to save, a bad guy to beat and you?re THIS small, the stakes could not be higher.
