Sadly, I won’t be getting one at launch, but I hope you all enjoy your new toy. However, the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS are still active, so let’s see what new games graced them this week. To the eShop!

Nothing listed above catches your attention? Check out what’s on sale. Indie darling Shovel Knight is offering a discount for the Wii U and 3DS versions of his title to prepare us for his upcoming Switch appearances.

Plus, venerable defense attorney Phoenix Wright is taking the stand as well! Capcom’s Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Dual Destinies and Sprit of Justice, all for the 3DS, are on sale. If you need some evidence as to the latter’s quality, then check out my review.
