Arcane Pixel aims to deliver a planet-hopping experience that rewards both precision and experimentation. Wii U Virtual Console: Blaster Master Returns Retro gaming fans will appreciate the return of Blaster Master from Sunsoft, now available on the Wii U Virtual Console for $4.99.

Originally a standout third-party title in the NES era, Blaster Master tasks players with alternating between tank-based exploration and on-foot action.

The game’s eight expansive regions provide a lengthy and challenging adventure, praised for its enduring fun according to critical reviews. Nintendo 3DS eShop: Airport Simulations and Pet Care On the Nintendo 3DS eShop, two distinct titles arrive this week.

I am an Air Traffic Controller Airport Hero Narita, from Sonic Powered Co., Ltd, continues the simulation series by putting players in control of Tokyo-Narita Airport operations.

As the successor to the Hawaii edition, this game delivers an in-depth management experience focused on guiding aircraft safely through crowded skies and runways.

This life simulation builds on the developer’s tradition of family and pet care games, inviting players to take responsibility for abandoned dogs.
