Get to the choppa, it’s the Nintendo Download

Helicopter action takes center stage in this week’s Nintendo Download with Strike Force Foxx.

Strike Force Foxx reminds me of so many old school games I can’t even remember half their names- and that’s not a bad thing by the way. The new title casts you as Captain Raymond Foxx and tasks you with piloting his chopper, rescuing POWs, and taking down an army of bad guys across 35 missions.

It’s not a huge week on the NDL, but there’s also Mr Driller 2 (on the Wii U Virtual Console), Comic Workshop, and few nice sale titles to choose from. Check it out below.
