Nintendo eShop Europe downloads have been released by Nintendo for December 13th. As per usual this list only applies to gamers in Europe and it does not mean these are available to download right now, you’ll have to wait until Thursday as that is the day Nintendo updates the eShop. I have no idea why this list is a little late this week but it does mean less waiting around until the eShop updates.
Looks like I won’t be picking up much this week, I already own both Metroid games so the price drop does nothing for me but there is a Rayman Legends demo which is easily the highlight of the eShop this week in my opinion. I’m still really upset that the game never made launch, I was really looking forward to that one. Any way be sure to give it a try because it’s not launching until March 1st so you get an early look at greatness.
