If you like demos and/or hunting monsters, you're in for a treat. Step right up and have a look at the latest additions to the 3DS and Wii U eShop. As always, each Thursday we'll be bringing you a list of what's available (retail and original software, DLC, demos and more), complete with prices and descriptions (care of Nintendo's official site). For more information, jump over to your 3DS or Wii U!
•Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Free)
"Discover the epic world of Monster Hunter as you journey through more than 200 exhilarating quests, battle larger-than-life monsters, and create hundreds of weapons and armor. Hunt with your two AI companions in single player quests or connect the Wii U system with up to three friends in four player online battles. Visually stunning 1080p HD graphics and online voice chat make this the best Monster Hunter experience to date."
•Trine 2: Director's Cut (Free)
"Trine 2: Director's Cut takes you on an adventure through magical lands in this sidescrolling game of platforming, action and puzzles. The game features physics-based puzzles using fire, water, gravity and magic; wicked goblins to fight against; and wondrous fairy-tale lands as backdrop to the adventure. Take on the role of one of the Three Heroes – the Wizard, the Thief and the Knight – who all have their own personalities and skills. Play on your own or transfer the experience to multiplayer – up to three players can embark on a co-operative multiplayer journey in online or local ”couch” mode."
•F-Zero ($.30 for a limited time)
"Strategy will play a big part in this speed fest as you race across 15 courses filled with challenges and pitfalls. Find shortcuts, elude hazards, and snag power-ups if you want to beat the competition. Keep an eye out for sand, land mines, magnets, and other trouble spots, but always be ready for that boost from a speed or jump plate to get ahead. You'll need split-second reflexes to control these speed machines of tomorrow, so get ready for an experience that's out of this world!"
•Picdun 2: Witch's Curse ($4.99)
"Picdun 2: Witch's Curse is a 3D dungeon RPG set in the mysterious dungeon called "Picdun."

Sixty stages await you, filled with a wide variety of puzzles ranging from easy to mind-bendingly difficult!"
•Viking Invasion 2 - Tower Defense ($7.99)
"Follow the whacky new adventures of Olaf the Viking and his group in this cartoon-style fantasy Tower Defense. During their journey, these terrible bearded warriors with a debatable sense of humor will have to travel to places that are more offbeat than ever. Your mission: stop them from pillaging everything in their path! Build your towers at the most strategic locations to block the advance of the Viking units. To counter the drakkars, Valkyries and even the god Odin, unlock new buildings and upgrade your defenses!"
•Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan ($39.99, available February 26)
"Gaming’s best tribute to retro RPGs enters a new dimension packed with improvements and content: an enhanced graphics engine boasting polygonal enemies and new 3D special effects; upgradable, customizable skyships that let players travel and battle amid the clouds. Take advantage of the new StreetPass feature to trade guild cards and characters. An exceedingly atmospheric and fully orchestrated musical score from Yuzo Koshiro, in addition to expanded, more immersive 3D dungeons with analog camera control rounds up the features of the newest addition to the Etrian Odyssey franchise."
•Yoshi ($4.99)
"Yoshi is an action/puzzle game starring Mario's dinosaur buddy Yoshi who has been imprisoned in an egg. Now it's raining Goombas, Bloopers, and Boo Buddies, and you have to help Mario stop the airborne invasion. As the critters fall, catch them on trays. Stack two of a kind and they both disappear, or capture the whole bunch in between eggshells. When the eggshells match, out hatches Yoshi and up goes your score! The action heats up as the characters fall faster and faster. To save the day, switch and shuffle, and don't let your piles get too high!"
