Nintendo Download Highlights for June 26th

If you’re like me you always want to know what titles are coming your way when it comes to games. Nintendo has released a detailed list of what titles are releasing and coming up to the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS Systems for the next week. Now be ready for the really long list of games, demos, sales and more coming this week directly from the press release. (Personally, I can’t wait to play Shovel Knight on the Wii U.)

 This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

  • NintendoeShop on Nintendo3DS and Wii U
    • Shovel Knight – Play as the eponymous Shovel Knight, a small knight with a huge quest: to defeat the evil Enchantress and search for his lost beloved. He wields a Shovel Blade, a multipurpose weapon with techniques that have been lost to the ages. Exclusively on Wii U, read in-game messages from other players or write messages of your own with Miiverse integration using the Digger’s Diary. Participate in battles between two Shovel Knights in theNintendo 3DS exclusive StreetPass Battle Arena, a crazy battle game in which anything can happen. Click here to watch the newest trailer.
