BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Platforming fans in NA rejoice: Yoshi’s Woolly World to be released at last.
Yoshi’s Woolly World does not come out alone: a new bundle of New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U comes out on the same day- October 16. Both games feature co-operative multiplayer, for up to two players in Yoshi’s Woolly World and five in New Super Mario Bros. U.
Other than that, this week’s eShop offerings are fairly empty. Good thing Nintendo has been emailing out demo codes for next week’s The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, including two extra codes for your closest friends (or frienemies). While there won’t be single-player or Download play available, and online co-op will only be up between specific hours (see your email for details), you’ll still be able to enjoy an entire dungeon to see whether or not the game is right for you. Or if your current selection of friends can be trusted when the game launches on the 22nd of this month.
Hint: they can’t.
