It's that time again! Here's the downloadable goodies this week!
3DS Retail Download
Fantasy Life (Nintendo, $39.99) — This collaboration between Level-5 and Brownie Brown (now 1-UP Studios) finally arrives in North America, blending an RPG adventure with life-sim elements as you alternate and utilise a number of different 'Lives' to shake up the experience.
Pokémon Art Academy (Nintendo, $29.99) — A tempting option for artists that love the Pokémon franchise, as the well-established modes and features of the Art Academy series are put to use to allow you to improve your drawing skills with a full-on 'mon flavour.
Saban's Power Rangers Super Megaforce (Bandai Namco, $29.99) — In theory this should be fun for the show's fans, an action game that also scans QR codes from some of the franchises' toys. Our fingers are crossed, though the last game for the brand was rather poor; will this go go a lot better? Available from 28th October.
Big Hero 6 Battle in the Bay (GameMill Entertainment, $29.99) — Available from 28th October.
The Legend of Korra: A New Era Begins (Activision, $29.99) — Not the Platinum Games release, but a retail RPG strategy adventure. Available from 28th October.
3DS eShop
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (WayForward, $19.99) — The third entry in this popular series finally arrives, bringing with it more colourful Metroidvania adventure and action. This entry sees Shantae team-up with former nemesis Risky Boots to tackle a pirate foe, with exploration taking in a number of diverse islands.
Castle Conqueror EX (CIRCLE Entertainment, $3.99) — A real-time strategy game that arrives as an apparently expanded and improved version of the DSiWare title. We rated the original relatively highly, and this entry promises 50 levels, 4 heroes to choose from and improvements to the campaign and enemy AI.
KORG DSN-12 (DETUNE Ltd, $37) — This is a pricey but faithful recreation of the self-named instrument set, with synthesizer and electric sounds driving this entry on the 3DS. As a portable oscilloscope, kaoss pad and full synthesizer, this is certainly worth consideration for music enthusiasts.
Secret Journeys: Cities of the World (Selectsoft, $4.99) — It's another hidden object game, which states that there are "over 1000 carefully placed items" to find against city backdrops from around the world.
Magical Diary: Secrets Sharing (Collavier Corporation, $4.99) — This appears to feature as a functional diary while applying custom interactive options, such as emotive animations, stickers, unlockable treats and the ability to share diaries wirelessly with others.
3DS eShop Temporary Discounts
Sweet Memories Blackjack (CIRCLE Entertainment, $2.79 until 6th November, normally $3.99)
Wakedas (CIRCLE Entertainment, $1.99 until 6th November, normally $2.99)
DSiWare
Magical Diary: Secrets Sharing (Collavier Corporation, $4.99) — As per the 3DS eShop version, but probably not quite as pretty.
