It’s almost time! Tonight, Nintendo’s going to present the Switch. Mario, Link and the Inklings are sure to be there, but who will join them? Is Samus getting primed up for a new galactic adventure? Will Donkey Kong return from his island? Is it finally time for Raymond Bryce’s big day? Nevertheless, my Source Gaming friends and I recently shared our hopes and dreams, and we’re ready. But for now, let’s look at today’s paltry Nintendo eShop update.

Nintendo eShop Releases – January 12, 2017

F-Zero X was the second installment in Nintendo’s other racing series. Also, it was made before Captain Falcon became predominately known for his Super Smash Bros. appearances. Players can play as the bird-themed bounty hunter or one of the other 29 racers in an explosive, smooth Nintendo 64 classic.

Here’s everything Nintendo released on the eShop this week:

Wii U

Games:

• F-Zero X (Nintendo, $9.99 – originally for the Nintendo 64)

Nintendo 3DS

Games:

• Shift DX (Gaijin Games, $4.99)

Nothing listed above catches your attention? Check out what’s on sale. Some nice titles are included in Nintendo’s January Digital Deals, such as Donkey Kong Country Returns and Splatoon. Personally, I’m eyeing Game Freak’s Pocket Card Jockey. I’ve heard positive things.
