Wind Waker! It's here! Again!
It's not enough that Nintendo is releasing the inevitably awesome HD remake of Wind Waker (which you can read our glowing review of here), oh no, they also have to pile on Monster Hunter discounts and tons of eShop games. Seriously, my wallet can't handle releases of this magnitude. I'm considering writing a strongly-worded letter to Nintendo asking them to just slow down a bit so I can catch up!

3DS eShop Games
In the description of AiRace Speed, the words “extreme” and “adrenaline-fuled” are used, leading me to believe that those with a heart condition should probably steer clear. As long as you’re not worried about your pacemaker giving out, you’ll be able to enjoy 18 tracks and five different jets.
Mahjong 3D - Essentials - $2.99
Ah, Mahjong. There's something magical about the idea that a game as old as Confucius is still being remade for every platform under the sun. With a whopping 70 levels you'll be slamming down those Mahjong tiles with vigor for quite some time.
It's Star Wars and it's pinball, two catalysts that defined the lives of many young Americans in the 70's. If you're too young to have experienced either in its heyday, then buckle up, because you're in for the ride of your life. With no experience points, enemies, boss encounters, or level advancement, pinball is the purest game you can get short of ball-in-a-cup.
In case the title didn't tip you off, this is about a gladiator and his unreasonable temper. Well, maybe it's not that unreasonable. I know I'd be upset if I was forced to battle monsters in a 3D arena with magical powers and potions…Actually, I take that back. That sounds awesome.
3DS Virtual Console
Although you can’t see the rad box art for this game, I assure you, it’s filled with 80’s awesomeness. You’ll be taking the role of Dana as he wanders through 40 puzzle-filled stages to unlock Solomon’s big ‘ol book of secrets.
Wii U Virtual Console
The game that started a frothing legion of Nintendo fans worldwide. What collection would be complete without Super Mario Bros.? You may think to yourself, "Pfft, I already own that on, like, ten different platforms. What's new and exciting to entice me to download it yet again?" To which I would say, "Who cares? It's Super Freaking Mario Bros.! Download it this instant or I'll be forced to revoke your Nintendo Fun Club card!"
DSiWare
Tales to Enjoy! The Ugly Duckling - $2.99, 300 Nintendo Points
Two more of these bad boys are landing this week! They really require no explanation. You know the story of the Ugly Duckling? It's that. On a DS.
Tales to Enjoy! The Three Little Pigs - $2.99, 300 Nintendo Points
Seriously! That's all it is. It's a story on your DS or 3DS. This one is about some pigs and a wolf (he seems like a jerk) who get into some shenanigans.
