Nintendo Download Updates (7/8) – Once more, with feeling

The mighty eShop update strikes again! The Wii U gets the bulk of the attention this week, with the Nindies@Home program entering it’s second week. All the games have a free trial to download, with a 15% discount when you buy the game on release, as long as you’ve downloaded it and given it a shot! Read more about the program over here.

Two Nintendo DS games also hit the Wii U Virtual Console, with Star Fox Command and Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber making their way for $13 each. And last, but not least, the original Wii classic Xenoblade Chronicles is up for grabs! As long as you buy it on the same account, you can get a $13 discount on Xenoblade Chronicles X when it’s released in December this year, on the eShop! Why not read up on the deal? The 3DS just has two games on sale this week, and if that’s upsetting, you should just buy a Wii U.

So what’s it for you guys this week? As usual, post your selections in the comments below!
