Nintendo Download For Week of 4-12-2012

Nintendo Download 4-12-2012

So you know how last week I had hoped that Nintendo would spice up the usually stale Nintendo Download in the future? Well, that future still seems to be a far ways off, as this week’s download only has three, count ‘em, three entries. What’s worse, is that there are no WiiWare or Virtual Console entries this week, so it makes the slim selection this week seem even slimmer.

On the bright side, there is at least one title that looks to be fun, which is the 3DS eShop entry Ketzal’s Corridors, which is a puzzle game that bears a few similarities with Tetris, albeit with a 3D isometric twist. Other than that, there is a pointless doll dress-up game, as well as a 3D music video from Death Cab for Cutie – a slow week, indeed.

eShop:
