This week, we have a good number of eShop releases in store for the region down under, with a good number of classics coming to the Virtual Console for both the 3DS and Wii U, as well as a shiny new demo for the upcoming Resident Evil: Revelations on the Wii U.
Now, Resident Evil doesn’t drop for another week, but the demo should sell us on the new Wii U control schemes, and hopefully, it will be a smooth transition from the 3DS version. We also have another Level-5 romp this week, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, and the age old favorite – Super Metroid that will cost well under a buck for a small period.
Check out the deals for this week below.
