Nintendo Download: 8/23/12

eShop: VectorRacing, $6.99

This racing game invokes a decidedly low-resolution visual scheme, bringing back memories of games of old. Choose one of six racers and one of twelve tracks to race on, in a single race or in a full Grand Prix. A wireless connection lets you see the world leaderboards, or race against a friend.

DSiWare: Abyss, $1.99/200 Nintendo Points

In the year 3024, Earth is barren, and finding natural resources is difficult. You play as Nep2no, a robot designed to find more resources in the depths of the planet. Look for Gaia stones as you fly through the game’s levels, using a light to counteract the darkness and gravity that tries to control your ship.

Neo Geo: Metal Slug X, 900 Nintendo Points

This game is SNK’s upgrade to the classic Metal Gear 2.

I’m rather curious as to what systems a Nintendo 3DS can successfully emulate. Could we see modified Nintendo 64 games?
