The start of another week means one thing for eager Nintendo gamers in Europe — Nintendo Download Update details. This week's list brings us a huge range of options, including new titles and Virtual Console entries on Wii U and 3DS, along with Zelda discounts, a host of Rising Star Games offers and more besides. There's a lot to get through, so let's get on with it.

Wii U eShop

Teslagrad (Rain Games, €14.99 / £13.99) — A puzzle platformer with elements of action also thrown in, this stylish début effort from Rain Games has you manipulating magnets, earning new abilities and progressing onwards to uncover the mysteries of the world. We'll get cracking on a review, and we were certainly impressed with this game in our first impressions last year.

Wii U Virtual Console

Super Mario Ball (Nintendo, €6.99 / £6.29) — Known as Mario Pinball Land in North America, this is a Mario pinball game to reinforce the fact that there are few genres left untouched by Mario spin-offs. For those that missed it on the Game Boy Advance this will surely be tempting, as it fuses Mario worlds and recognisable characters with some simple flipping gameplay. Watch out for our incoming review.

Wii U eShop — The Legend of Zelda Promotion

There is a series of discounts to celebrate the upcoming release of Hyrule Warriors, and if any Zelda title (download) is owned on a Nintendo Network account before its release there'll be a 10% discount on the download version of the new game in its first week of release, priced €44.99 / £35.99 instead of €49.99 / £39.99.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Nintendo, €4.99 / £3.43 until 18th September, normally €7.99 / £5.49)

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (Nintendo, €4.99 / £4.49 until 18th September, normally €6.99 / £6.29)

Wii U eShop Demo

Wooden Sen'SeY (Neko Entertainment, free)

3DS eShop

Comic Workshop (Collavier Corporation, €5.99 / £5.39) — As the title makes clear, this is an app that enables you to create and share comic books utilising a variety of tools. The sharing aspect has been flawed — though an English online gallery now seems to be available — but this is nevertheless an impressive piece of software for budding artists and comic writers; our Comic Workshop review has full details on what it can do.

3DS Virtual Console

Mega Man Xtreme 2 (Capcom, €4.99 / £4.49) — The second of these Game Boy Color X remixes to arrive on the 3DS, and while we were a little underwhelmed by the first this certainly represents an improvement. It draws elements from the first three Mega Man X games and adds a few more features besides, and does a solid job on the limited hardware; be sure to check out our Mega Man Xtreme 2 review for full details.
