Aussie Nintendo Download Updates (17/12) – Crafty Little Buggers

Well it finally happened, Minecraft has landed on the Wii U eShop and only a couple years way too late. It’s also not cheap, not cheap at all compared to other systems and the PC – you’ll want to be a dedicated crafter to pick this one up. The DLC is interesting enough though, it’s the only way we’re ever going to see Skyrim on the Wii U.

The Wii U Virtual Console also gains a trio of titles, finally you can buy Mario Tennis 64 and not have to buy the Wii U version game to get it. There’s also the first New Super Mario Bros. game from the Nintendo DS and Onimusha Tactics from the Game Boy Advance. There’s a game franchise you just don’t see anymore.

The big elephant in the room though is all the sales and it’s going to take us some time to work out and print up all the discounts – it doesn’t help that the eShop is down right now either.

Check back later tonight for the complete list.
