NintendoWare Weekly: Mutant Mudds, Mario & Sonic, Flush the Goldfish

[R.O.B.]

As promised, another 3DS demo is available on the eShop, this time for Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. It may not have zombies, but then, it may have Waluigi. Renegade Kid's Mutant Mudds, its first self-published project, is also up on the eShop this week, offering challenging platforming and shooting and some dramatic 3D effects.

DSiWare features a sequel to the indie game Flipper; though if you played it, you still won't recognize Flipper 2: Flush the Goldfish. The original was an isometric puzzle game about reshaping environments ... and the sequel is a side-scrolling action game that uses one contextual button!

They may as well have not bothered releasing anything today. Another pointless update.

For the Wii: yes, but for the 3DS: no. Mutant Mudds feels like a Virtual Console game with (apparently by Nintendo's game page description of MM) 12-bit graphics, music and gameplay, even though its technically not listed as Virtual Console on the Nintendo eShop.

We don't need to see games from 10+ years ago every single week (talking about 3DS). The new stuff is more of a highlight on the Nintendo eShop in my opinion, and Mutant Mudds is a totally brand new game with a retro taste!

I think Mutant Mudds looks like a good game, I'm sure I'll pick it up soon. if it's disappointing to you because there are no VC games, well there really aren't many great games left to release, that is many games left that Nintendo won't have to fight for to get.

The Wii got years of support, I'd rather Nintendo kept promoting it's newest device.

That's the problem. Sure the 3DS is getting healthy support in terms of down loadable content , but the Wii has had nothing worthwhile for nearly 6 months now. That's the equivalent of saying the PS3 should get less support than the PS Vita. Decisions like that is what is killing the Wii off in the first place
