With Sunday seeing the debut of New Super Mario Bros. 2, the first Nintendo-published title launched simultaneously at retail and in digital form, a game would have to be some sort of crazy chicken pirate to try and muscle in on this week's Nintendo Download. So yeah, Mario and two games named Crazy Chicken: Pirate.
New Super Mario Bros. 2, which certain people I know seem to enjoy quite a bit, will be available for download at midnight on Sunday, meaning no one has to get up early and drive to GameStop if they don't want to.
Unless they preordered a 3DS XL like I did. And seeing as I traded in my original 3DS towards the XL, there's really no point in me purchasing the digital copy, since the boxes will be right there. Or maybe I'll go to GameStop and purchase a download code, in order to make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
This week also sees the release of Crazy Chicken: Pirate and Crazy Chicken: Pirate 3D, the first time I've seen a downloadable title release two different versions for the DSi and 3DS. Crazy chickens.
Crazy Chicken: Pirate
Platform: DSi
Price: 200 Points
The splendor and the beauty of the Chicken Island would make it an ideal vacation spot - if it weren't for those pirates. A one-legged captain, a gunner, a cutlass-wielding chicken and a treasure hunter... the island is home to countless perils, hidden extras and mysteries. The lords of the island are by no means willing to surrender themselves and their treasure without a fight. Crazy Chicken Pirates 3D is a point & shoot action game where you take aim at birds as they scurry through the island and plunge bravely into the waves for a desperate counterattack. You only have 90 seconds to complete your raid by slaying pirates and collecting all hidden treasures.
Crazy Chicken: Pirate 3D
Platform: 3DS
Price: $1.99
