This week’s new releases on the various Nintendo eShops see two highly anticipated titles coming to Wii and Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo’s aging home console receives an edition of the critically acclaimed Retro City Rampage, while Nintendo 3DS will play host to Splash or Crash, an interesting new puzzle videogame from Nintendo themselves.
Also available this week is a Nintendo 3DS re-release of the 1980’s Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) version of Pac-Man. The full details on all of these titles and others are available below, and Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the newest downloadable offerings on Nintendo platforms.

| Game Description: In Splash or Crash, where gravity is your greatest enemy, you play as the stone; or iron ball, jewel and yet more items bizarrely discarded into the abyss. Each item has different speed and durability. Your task is to guide its descent, avoid obstacles and stay in one piece until splashdown. Progress to unlock more items and new, tougher wells. You can also swap high scores with other players via StreetPass. | ||||

| Game Description: Pac-Man needs no introduction; it’s one of the most popular video games ever made! In this NES version of the game, move Pac-Man through the mazes, avoiding ghosts and eating all the pellets. Beware though; each of the ghosts behaves differently! When Pac-Man chomps a power pellet, he becomes invincible, and is able to eat the blue ghosts. The more ghosts Pac-Man eats in a row, the higher the score. Don’t forget to eat the bonus fruit, too! | ||||
