Nintendo Download Update – Persona Q, Thomas Was Alone

If you’re looking to get away from the family after the Tofurkey’s all gone and the pumpkin pie has been demolished, there’s not a whole lot of new stuff in this week’s Nintendo download update. That said, Wii U owners will finally get a chance to play one of last year’s best platformers with the arrival of Thomas was Alone, while the Persona series is making its Nintendo debut on the 3DS with Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth.
