Nintendo eShop Update – Tank Troopers, Back to Bed, Color Cubes

There’s really only 3 or 4 brand new titles launching on the eShop today, across both the 3DS and Wii U… and a Virtual Console title too.

New games include Tank Troopers for the 3DS, Back to Bed, Wall Ball and Color Cubes for the Wii U, and the Virtual Console release of Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber, also for the Wii U.

There are a couple of Zelda-themed sales, activities, themes and whatnot as well, so read on for the full list.

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

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS
    • Tank Troopers ? ATTENTION! Calling all troopers for six-player tank warfare! Choose a tank, pick troopers and battle your friends via local wireless. Each trooper has a special ability, from electric shocks to healing. Deploy them tactically to win more than 30 custom tanks with unique stats. An engaging single-player mode contains 30 stages, so you?ll have to devise a multitude of strategies and maneuvers to conquer them all. Battle with bombs, on teams or in a free-for-all ? but always fight! Fight! FIGHT! (When playing in multiplayer mode, additional games and systems are required and are sold separately.)
  • Nintendo eShop on Wii U
    • Back to Bed ? Back to Bed is a 3D indie puzzle game set in a unique and artistic dream world, in which you guide sleepwalker Bob to the safety of his bed. To achieve this, you must take control of Bob?s subconscious guardian named Subob. The pair travels through a surreal and painting-like dream world, filled with objects used to guide Bob toward the Bed, but also dangers that must be avoided.
  • Virtual Console on Wii U
    • Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber ? Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is a tactical RPG originally released for the Nintendo 64 system. The game tells the story of Magnus Gallant, a recently graduated officer of the Palatinean Army who is assigned to the troubled southern region of his native land. With civil war brewing, Magnus is faced with a terrible choice: betray his own noble origins in the name of liberty, or turn a blind eye to the evils of his rotten society.
