Stay young. Or single. Getting hitched changes everything. Thanksgiving turns from a joyous occasion of mindless gorging to a tricky affair at best, with in-laws, planning, babies, and stress to deal with. I'm going to use the Wii U's GamePad to hole up in a back room today to escape it all. With headphones on.

Good stuff is up on the 3DS eShop today. Crashmo ($8.99) and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link ($4.99) are obvious choices. There's also 3D MahJongg ($4.99) if that's your kind of thing. 

The Wii Virtual Console has only one game: NINJA MASTER'S. Not a typo there.

DSiWare for this week includes Spirit Hunters Inc. Light and Spirit Hunters Inc. Shadow (both $7.99).

If you've got a Wii U, be sure to check out last week's entry.

It's feels a little wrong write this post. Publicizing the existence of this "secret screen" obliterates any semblance of secrecy that it once had. I blame Pendleton Ward for this. Some secrets are just too gr...   more
