Nintendo Download coverage returns to cover two weeks, including Fire Emblem and Pokemon.

The Wii U’s Virtual Console is bolstered by the release of Ninja Gaiden II and III, as well as Double Dragon III and Medabots AX, but it’s true herald is the launch of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow on the 3DS.  Celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the series while you patiently await Friday’s Pokemon Direct, and the future of the franchise.

Fire Emblem Birthrights and Conquest have both released, and this week adds two more DLC packs- Boo Camp and Beach Brawl.

Major releases include the aforementioned Fire Emblems and Pokemon, as well as Project X Zone 2, the Japanese game developer mash-up that includes some Nintendo stars this time around- like Chrom and Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening, and Mega Man Legacy Collection, which features all six original NES games.
