Zelda and Mario on The eShop This Week

Another week, another eShop update. On the surface things look pretty light this week, with only three games on offer, but Nintendo fans are in for a treat.

Up first is The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition (eShop, DSiWare for free until February 2012): You and “up to three other players, by connecting your Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL or Nintendo 3DS wirelessly – work together to rescue Princess Zelda after Link splits into four with the help of the Four Sword. However, unlike the original Game Boy Advance version, it is now possible to play the game in a brand new way as a single player. When you go solo you won’t be totally alone though as an additional Link will appear beside the one you control to help you along during your adventure. It is even possible to independently control “each” Link by selecting either of them using the L or R Buttons.”

Next is Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (eShop €4): “Mario also needs your help this week, as an evil creep called Wario took over his castle and put the people of Mario Land under his control with a magic spell. You must help Mario retrieve the 6 Golden Coins which have been scattered by Wario all over Mario Land. There’s no time to waste!”

Lastly there is escapeVektor: Chapter 1 (Wii Shop, 500 points): “30 levels of retro arcade adventure action, as you help Vektor escape after being locked inside your Central Processing Unit. He doesn’t know how he got there and he can’t move around independently. Rest assured though, as he’s an expert coder.”
