Nintendo Download For Week of 5-31-2012
Wait – what’s this? A week where the Nintendo Download brings some quality titles? I know this seems like some kind of mean joke that I am pulling, but it’s actually true! In fact, we have two highlights this week, coming in the form of SNK’s 2000 arcade hit Metal Slug 3 and the Game Boy Color port of Ubisoft’s classic platformer Rayman. In addition to that, you’ve got a retro-themed video game, 99Seconds, which makes you fight the clock in order to traverse various obstacles in your way, and popular Japanese puzzle Kakuro by famed publisher Nikoli.
All in all, we’ve got some great content that spans various genres, and there’s something for everyone here. Interested? Read on below to get the full scoop on what is available this week!

Metal Slug 3 Metal Slug 3 is the fourth installment in the Metal Slug series, following Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2 and Metal Slug X.

The Slugs are also back and more colorful than ever, with Slugmariners, Drill Slugs and Elephant Slugs joining the original Metal Slugs and Slugnoids. As with previous titles, there are hidden items to be found and POWs to be rescued, while a branching map lets players take a different route to the end with each play-through. eShop
