Multiple control options have been added, as has the chance to engage in two player co-op play on your quest to use seeds to transform your surroundings– all in 1080p and at 60 FPS. Alongside this is My First Songs by RingZero Games ($9.99), a karoake game targeted at young children.

Nice, even the NES offering this week is really strong.
Good to see Zombie U get a price cut, too. I’ve seen that game on sale more times than I can count since it’s launch. It’s a shame the sales weren’t there.
