Another Thursday, another round of Nintendo downloads! So, what’s up this week? Well, we learned earlier in the week about the release of Metroid 2: Return of Samus for the original GameBoy on the 3DS, and that really is the standout title this week. Of course if you really like catching fish, make sure you fire up the Wii for some Big Bass Arcade. No? Hmm, maybe just Metroid then.
