Well the holiday season is over and we are into a brand new year filled with plenty of new games coming down the downloadable pipeline. Sadly this week On the Download will be shorter due to the lack of big downloadable releases this week, but I come bearing gifts in the form of news about downloadable games and services. First up, Gotham City Impostors, the downloadable Batman FPS that was scheduled to release next week, has been delayed until some unknown date in February. It is kind of sad as I was looking forward to seeing how this very different style of game set in the Batman universe would fare with critics and the online community. Next up is news on demos for the 3DS. Capcom has assured fans via their Capcom Unity blog that the Resident Evil: Revelations demo that released on the Japanese eShop will be coming to North American and European eShops in the near future, something myself and many other 3DS owners are looking forward to a lot. And my last piece of news involves the 3DS as well. It has been reported that European 3DS owners that have bought and register two select games on Club Nintendo from November 1st of last year on will receive a code for a free copy of 3D Classics: Kid Icarus. This promotion has only been announced for Europe, but I am dearly hoping that Nintendo brings it to North America Club Nintendo users as well. Without further interruption, let us take a look at the big downloadable release for this week.
Just like EA did with NBA Jam back in 2010, EA has brought back another classic Midway arcade sports game from the dead. This time EA brought back NFL Blitz for hardcore Blitz fans and gamers such as myself who never got the chance to play the game in the arcade or on the N64. EA has done their best to recreate the fast, energetic arcade gameplay with a plethora of game modes for gamers to sink their teeth into. The modes are a regular 7-on-7 exhibition game mode for quick one-on-one games with friends, season mode like Blitz Gauntlet, EAs now signature card-based mode for all their sports games Elite League and online competition Blitz Battle mode. Coupled with the arcade craziness that gamers have come to expect from this old arcade sports franchise, NFL Blitz should keep the biggest football fanatic to even the young kids satisfied. If you are looking for an arcade sports game for either your Xbox 360 or PS3, NFL Blitz is the download for you.
