This is a light week, especially on the Wii which gets actually gets a grand total of nothing. Well okay, it gets a single demo for Aya and the Cubes of Light. Which already came out last September. So really, nothing much on the Wii. On the 3DS we have Metroid for the NES and the demo for the absolutely fantastic Crush 3D. I played it heavily when it came out on the PSP and absolutely loved it. It’s a game that makes great use of the 3D, and I might just have to replay it because of that. On the DS, a spot the difference game. Yup. Enjoy.
