This week's European downloads - May 16 (Starship Damrey, Super Metroid and more)
Nintendo eShop (Wii U)
Resident Evil Revelations Demo (Capcom, available tomorrow) - Free
The critically acclaimed survival horror title Resident Evil Revelations returns redefined for console complete with high quality HD visuals, enhanced lighting effects and an immersive sound experience. This latest version of Resident Evil Revelations will also deliver additional content including a terrifying new enemy, extra difficulty mode and improvements to RAID Mode such as new weapons, skill sets, and playable characters including Hunk and Rachael!
Super Mario Bros. 2 (Nintendo, NES VC) - €4.99/£3.49
Join Mario and company on a journey to save the world of Subcon from the foul frog tyrant, Wart. Super Mario Bros. 2 offered freedom to explore levels not only horizontally but also vertically; while collecting power-ups, uprooting veggies to throw at enemies and seeking out hidden 'Sub-space' rooms. It was the first Mario title to let players control other characters like Princess Toadstool (Peach) and Toad; each with their own skills. It also featured the first appearance of many Mario series regulars, including Shy Guy and Birdo. This is the US version of the game.
Super Ghouls'n Ghosts (Capcom, SNES VC) - €7.99/£5.49
The third game in the legendary Ghosts'n Goblins series, Super Ghouls'n Ghosts follows brave Sir Arthur's quest through demon-infested lands to rescue the kidnapped princess. Battle through deadly stages and beat each level's boss to progress. But watch out: if Arthur is injured his armour breaks, leaving him only in his boxer shorts! Originally developed exclusively for Super NES, this supremely challenging platformer won critical acclaim and became an instant bestseller. This is the US version of the game.
Super Metroid (Nintendo, SNES VC) - €0.30/£0.30 (Ends June 14, normally €7.99)
Part of the Family Computer 30th Anniversary Campaign.
When space pirates snatch the last remaining Metroid, bounty hunter Samus Aran is called back into action! Use new abilities like the grappling beam and x-ray scope to navigate the massive labyrinths of planet Zebes; battling enemies and enormous bosses with an arsenal of beams, missiles and bomb. Super Metroid is renowned as one of the greatest 2D action games ever made, and paved the way for the MetroidTM Prime series with its innovative blend of exploration, action and secrets galore.
This is the European version of the game, which was optimised originally by the developer to offer gameplay and music speed similar to the US version. Demos and animations may run at PAL speed. The aspect ratio has been corrected for this release.
