Nintendo eShop Update – Steel Lords, Tap Tap Arcade 2, Legend of the Mystical Ninja

The Nintendo eShop Update for this week is a little… sparse as you can see below. The only “new” releases being Steel Lords and Tap Tap Arcade 2, which are both for the Wii U.

Otherwise there are sales, a trio of Virtual Console releases and DLC.

Check out the lineup below.

This week?s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

  • Virtual Console on Wii U
    • Baseball Simulator 1000 ? Originally released for the NES, this fun baseball game lets you play a full-length season with six teams in a race for the pennant. You can even auto-simulate the game and edit your team?s players. And if you?re tired of the traditional baseball dynamics, use Ultra Plays to make your pitches disappear, make your hits explode or knock down opposing fielders.
    • Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll ? Set off on a journey to complete the mystical Mandara Seal and activate its magical powers in this NES action game. Face tough challengers and use six different types of fighting techniques to your advantage. Work your way to the World Tournament and defend the world from the legions of darkness.
  • Virtual Console on Nintendo 3DS
    • Legend of the Mystical Ninja ? In this Super NES classic, take control of Kid Ying and Dr. Yang in an action-adventure through feudal Japan.
