Here's a nice surprise, the European Nintendo Download Update details have been sent out, no doubt in order to capitalise on E3 buzz. This week includes a huge release on Switch, some intriguing downloads, a long awaited demo, a bunch of E3 discounts and more besides. Let's get to it.
Nintendo Switch Retail Download
ARMS (Nintendo, €59.99 / £49.99) - This new IP now needs little introduction, and Switch owners can soon get into some fights with wacky extendable arms. Solid online options, varied modes and more content coming for free in the future, some reckon this'll be Nintendo's 'next big thing'. We were certainly fans in our ARMS review. Available from 16th June.
Nintendo Switch eShop
Mighty Gunvolt Burst (Inti Creates, €9.99 / £8.99) - This adopts retro-style visuals and the action platforming puts an emphasis on getting close to enemies before attacking. With nods to past Inti Creates gems this certainly looks promising, and will also come to 3DS later this month.
Sengoku (HAMSTER, €6.99 / £6.29) - The Neo Geo ACA games keep coming, this time with a beat 'em up arcade title. We reviewed this a long time ago on the Wii Virtual Console, and will take a fresh look soon.

No NA sales? At all? Thanks a lot, Nintendo.
Yes Arms Time
I'll probably download Mighty Gunvolt Burst but ARMS should take up most of my time for a while.
@mikegamer
seriously? ....
So, first, this is the Europe update - so its not going to mention the NA sales EVER...
second - the NA sale started already : https://e3.nintendo.com/sale/
@mikegamer
Err....there are some NA discounts. The Nintendo E3 2017 has details.
Now go apologise to Nintendo for your snark.
Poor week and poor sales.
I'll download the Brain Training demo and Fire Emblem free DLC. I really think Nintendo should take a leaf out of Son'y book, with regards on how to do sales.
Nintendo's holding out on me.
@mikegamer We even covered them in an article https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/06/nintendo_of_america_launches_e3_2017_eshop_discounts
Heyyy, Bird Mania Party on sale, woot~
My Nintendo Rewards discounts for yet unreleased games? Since when is that a thing?
@mikegamer the is Europe And na has a sale just go on The shop
Great price for Xenoblade Chronicles! I'll definitely pick it up.
What a sinfully Boring sale for 3ds.
No interest in Arms.
@Ralek85 I think NoE started with that sequel to the Hotel Dusk series, before it released.
Great prices if it was 2013
Dr Kawashima, it's been too long.
ARMS and Mighty Gunvolt Burst for me! Can't wait for Azure Striker Gunvolt 1+2!
@Reverandjames I just hope they make past WiiU/ 3DS VC purchases carry over. I mean, if they expect me to buy these games again, most of which I have already bought AT LEAST twice, then I'd be genuinely upset and might just resort to an emulator on my 'regular' Nvidia Shield tablet. I rather play on the Switch, and further support their VC service obviously, but not at any cost against all reason.
@RainbowGazelle Did not know that, I mean, that's actually pretty ... dare I say useful? I hope we'll see this for more games in the future.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's just going to keep getting worse for you if you're just going to cling to the Wii U. It's time to Switch.
I owned Sengoku on my dedicated 4-slot back in the day. It's a great game and I'll definitely be downloading that. Arms is coming in physical form for me though.
Sengoku for sure!! Picking up ARMS on friday... and YOU should too!
tbh I already have almost all the games I'm interested in that are listed, and in most cases I bought them at that price or cheaper years ago... especially smash bros and xenoblade x, both of which I think I paid about the discount price for when they launched...
The VC discounts are absolutely the best deal, especially considering they almost never get discounted. That said, I literally have all of those already except partners in time, might get that
After all the buzz, I actually consider grabbing the first Metroid. ARMS is on my list for sure, but outqueued by a bunch of other titles so far.
Isn't Cars 3 due this week, too? eShop is still listing it for June 16.
@Reverandjames I doubt they'll cover the whole range though, it will either be focused on a platform, like the NES, as it was initially revealed, or it will be a PS+ situation where you get a few select games every month/week.
No way they're gonna make their whole VC library accessible for $20 a year.
Shame there's no ever oasis demo. Maybe next week hopefully.
@Reverandjames Yeah but 1/month would be a horror show without making additional games available for sale or just making the already released stuff (on 3DS/WiiU and bound to NintendoIDs) available.
I mean one a month, assuming a 5 year lifecycle after VC launch, would leave folks with an entirety of 60 games for the whole generation.
Where's that metroid samus returns downloadable 3d video on the EU eshop? It was announced on treehouse :/
@ryanshedlock
not me ... did you mean someone else ?
Now THAT'S Sengoku!
@C0mmanderVide0 https://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/comments/6h6gt8/ever_oasis_e3_trailer_released_early_by_mistake/
Why isn't Metroid Zero Mission included in the Wii U sale...?
@SanderEvers I'm probably more likely to get the yellow joy-cons than Arms at this stage... Got to be physical for me when I do dip, but SFII is all the fighting action I need for now. More likely to get Gunvolt this week.
meh
Well, good luck to those buying Xenoblade in the sale and hoping they'll finish it before the sequel arrives. XD
@gcunit It was a MyNintendo discount reward not too long ago.
@elhozzo yeah sorry wrong person
@gcunit It already has a My Nintendo sale for some platinum coins.
Do the My Nintendo sales go active tomorrow? I might get partners in time since I've never played it.
1. This is the article for European releases.
2. There was a separate article for just the American E3 sale!
@mikegamer
"No NA sales? At all? Thanks a lot, Nintendo."
Just the Devilish Brain Training demo for me this week.
@Switch81tch I don't think Nintendo can just cut eshop prices for Wii U without seriously hacking off 3DS and, later, Switch owners who are stuck with the higher prices. And, as is clear from this site, Wii U users are pretty darn loyal, and a good number won't have ditched their consoles yet - they only just got Zelda three months ago, so the device is still sitting by the TV.
Why no alphabetical order?
We don't have that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D discount in North America 😑 I want to buy it. I already own the Wii version, but I want by my side all the time.
@Ralek85 Since Fire Emblem Fates I believe?
Xenoblade Chronicles X is still £10 more expensive on sale than the Physical Wii U version is brand new n sealed.
Steel Empire currently only a few pounds too expensive!
