Nintendo Download February 4th

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition scares Virtual Console while Bayonetta and Corrin expand the Smash roster.

Most of you already know about the latest in the Smash Bros line-up, but this week is also heightened by the Virtual Console release of Gamecube classic turned Wii Remake Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, which comes with all the usual Virtual Console updates.

Kickstarter success FreezeME, $10 3D Platformer inspired by the character platformers many of us grew up on, also releases on Wii U this week, and stars a young girl with a camera who must freeze things with her photographs in order to traverse the environments and rescue her best friend, “M.”

The 3DS also sees JRPG throwback Alphadia, and the Wii U gets a Typoman demo and Shutshimi, a muscular fish-starring shoot-‘em-up.
