Nintendo Download - Nov. 15


Nintendo has released the last bit of downloadable goodness before the Wii U arrives on Sunday.  Well, that isn't technically true.  One of the titles doesn't come out until Wii U launch day.  That slightly delayed title is the downloadable version of Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion.  There are three other downloadable versions of retail games that came out today.  Along with those, we got one eShop title, and two new DSiWare titles.  No big surprise that there aren't any new releases for the Wii this week.  Check out the list after the jump.
