In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to the Nintendo eShop on the Wii U console and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, the Nintendo DSi™ Shop for the Nintendo DSi system and the Wii™ Shop Channel for the Wii console.

The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos. Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in the Nintendo eShop on either Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can be used in either Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single Nintendo Network account.

The Wii Shop Channel offers games and applications and uses Wii Points™, which can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel. The Nintendo DSi Shop offers games and applications and uses Nintendo DSi Points™, which can be purchased in the Nintendo DSi Shop.

Remember that Wii U, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS and Nintendo DSi feature parental controls that let adults manage some of the content their children can access.

Thanks to the Ubisoft sale, I finally got around to picking up Rayman Legends. I'll pick up ZombiU before the sale is over as well.

I'm on the fence concerning Watch_Dogs and Tetris Ultimate.

@GameDadGrant

ZombiU is great! Very underrated. A little more production could have gone into it, but it's all in all a great survival-horror game. I wish we would get a sequel. I'm tempted to pick it up just to have it on my console (it's one of two disc-based games I still own, the other being Nintendo Land) so I can replay it next Halloween. I also want Child of Light...I've had my eye on it for a while.

Rayman Legends is also excellent, especially at that price.

More than you should pay. Ubisoft sucks for locking the license and making Nintendo remove the cheaper (and probably better) Tetris Axis from the eShop (and the Game Boy Tetris too).

I got Child of Light on PS4, haven't beaten it, but I did enjoy the couple of hours I put into it. The art style is pretty, music is great, and the battle system is a very different take on the turn based stuff. Felt like an evolution of Paper Mario's battle system in a way.

@GameDadGrant
ZombiU is a fun one, heck even the multiplayer is pretty interesting. I got it last time it was on sale and enjoyed it.

How much is Rayman / Watch_Dogs?

Nothing for me this week, there is a lot of stuff I want to buy but I'm trying to stick to my New Years resolution to only buy new games once I've finished the ones I'm currently playing.

Nothing new for me. But the Curve and Ubisoft sales are nice.

All four Curve titles are on my wish list. Of Lone Survivor, Stealth 2, Swapper, and Thomas Was Alone, I'm leaning towards Lone Survivor.

I already have pretty much all the Ubisoft I want, with the exception of Child of Light. I'm definitely getting that. If Watch Dogs were discounted more, I'd be more inclined to consider it. I still think I'll be picking it up used for under $20 some time in the next 8 months.

That Tom Clancy Shadow Wars game was pretty good from what I remember. $7.50 on 3DS, a modern military version of Fire Emblem.

Curious to see what is in the Atlus sale. I've been holding off on Persona-Q because I wanted to get it on sale.

Well, I grabbed Moon Chronicles on sale. I figure there's no better time, what with the New 3DS coming with its wide angle 3D and 2nd nub.
