Nintendo Download Highlights – 7/28-8/3
Nintendo released a PR statement regarding recent announcements, including sale information and news like demos of Kirby Planet Robobot landing on the 3DS E-Shop. The full press release follows below but some great Nintendo games are coming to both Wii U and 3DS. Recent sales on the Kirby series is to celebrate the pink puff ball’s birthday, so consider getting some Kirby games for the Wii U or 3DS this week. I personally recommend Planet Robotbot & Mass Attack.
What better way to celebrate Kirby’s birthday than with a free demo of his new sci-fi adventure, Kirby: Planet Robobot for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, alongside other great Kirby games.
