REDMOND, Wash. --(Business Wire)--

This week's Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS
- Fire Emblem Awakening - Demo Version - Lead an army of knights, mages, archers and other classes into battle to defend a fantasy world teetering on the brink of war. Your army, which grows as the game's epic story progresses, is composed of a brave group of memorable characters with unique abilities. Just plan your attacks carefully - the lives of your soldiers and the future of the world depend on it. The full version of Fire Emblem Awakening launches exclusively on Nintendo 3DS on Feb. 4.
- Tokyo Crash Mobs - You need fast reflexes and an eye for strategy to succeed in this puzzle game. In Tokyo Crash Mobs, you must toss bystanders into lines of people, grouping three or more who wear the same color to make them disappear. Eliminate the lines as fast as you can to win. With two modes, this game has you covered, whether you're looking for quick play sessions or endurance challenges.
- Kirby's Star Stacker - Join Kirby as he stacks falling stars with help from his friends Rick the Hamster, Kine the Sunfish and Coo the Owl. But watch out for King Dedede, as he will try to stop you. With a few quick moves and some well-timed strategy, you can quickly outwit him and move on to the next challenging level. Kirby's Star Stacker was originally released for Game Boy in 1997.
