Frogs are my favorite animal.
Yep, that's what I'm choosing to focus on in today's issue of Nintendo Download, because this week is one of the weakest offerings yet, and it features tons of animal games. That's alright though, as you guys are probably busy playing all of the other amazing 3DS games on offer in the past month.
Notice how the phrase "Wii U" wasn't included in that statement, as there hasn't been one single solitary original game released on the Wii U eShop since launch. So without further ado...
The 3DS eShop is getting Reel Fishing 3D Paradise Mini, Wild Adventures: Ultimate Deer Hunt 3D, 101 DinoPets 3D and Hello Kitty Picnic with Sanrio Friends. Biorhythm, an intriguing mathematical application based on rhythmic biological cycles, hits DSiWare.
Although it's still not an original game, the Wii U is at least getting something today, in the form of ZombiU and NBA 2K13 demos. The Wii Virtual Console is netting World Heroes 2.
If you missed last week's installment, here it is. I'm not getting anything this time around.
