More On: Nintendo Download Shin Megami Tensei IV Toki Tori 2 Pushmo World

Okay, the title needs work, but it highlights the two main releases this week on the eShop.  First up we have Pushmo World, the Wii U debut of the popular Pushmo series.  Push and pull blocks to climb to the top as well as create your own puzzles.  If you're still not sure if you want to pick this one up, check out Matt's review of Pushmo World.

Over on the Virtual Console we have Super Dodge Ball.  You control a team of six players (three in-court, three out-of-court) and basically try to eliminate the other team.  In single-player you control Team USA and take on teams from around the world including China and Russia, while in two-player mode each person can pick from any team in the game.  Each player has their own power shots they can activate with careful timing while running or jumping.  Overall it's a very fun game and one of my favorites for the NES.

Along with new releases we also have a few sales going on:

Wii U:

  • Toki Tori 2+ - 60% off until 9 a.m. PT on July 3rd.
