Those Red Falcon guys really had it coming anyway.
The trend continues! This Siberian winter on the eShop will come to an end one day. With naught but a single game or two each week to slake our digital hunger we Nintendo gamers may be unable to go on.
But seriously, where are the games? My theory is that Nintendo has them locked in a vault, guarded by Nunchuck Reggie. This week the VC gets the minimal amount of love, a promising RPG hits the eShop, and a Spin the Bottle game gets an update.

3DS eShop Games
While, traditionally, Spot the Difference games from magazines and other media have been about as much fun as an eye exam, this one is on the 3DS! Get ready to look at pictures and meticulously click on stuff in beautiful stereoscopic 3D! Wait, where are you guys going!?
AeternoBlade - $TBA, Available February 18
AeternoBlade looks to be a pretty awesome side-scrolling action RPG. While I had only seen bits and pieces of it before now, the trailer feels reminiscent of Astyanax on the NES (at least to this old gamer’s eyes). Definitely worth checking out if you like cutting things with swords and having lots of pretty numbers pop up.
Wii U eShop Games
Spin The Bottle: Bumpie’s Party - $11.99
Spin The Bottle: Bumpie’s Party is less game and more like an application to facilitate the playing of a non-digital game. Players turn their TV completely off, sit in a circle, and engage in a game of Spin the Bottle using only the Wii U gamepad, with the goal of completing the physical minigames that are thrown at you. While the game itself has already released, this week marks the addition of some additional minigames.
Wii U Virtual Console
Grab your Spread Gun and get ready to mow down some Red Falcon goons. Super C was the second Contra game on the NES, and while Super Contra would come along later and really shake up the formula, Super C was still a solid addition to the series.
