So, this is the first Nintendo eShop Releases post we've made in an entire season! In that time frame Nintendo has half-heartedly announced their next system, the Switch, ceased production of the Wii U (after not even reaching the 4-year mark), and pushed back the release date for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, yet again. It seems we here at 12/12 Games have become almost as unenthusiastic about Nintendo as they themselves seem to be.
To be fair, there have been several respectable releases over the last dozen weeks. Especially, this past one. For starters, the Wii U received a Virtual Console port of Excitebike 64, which is arguably the best game in the Excite series. In addition there was the dual-release pair of new Pokémon games, Sun and Moon. Also out in the last three months, a 3DS remake of the previously PlayStation-exclusive Dragon Quest VII, and a new entry in the popular Paper Mario series. Catch big air! Jump past the break to see several more decent recent releases.
