After the hive of activity that the Nintendo eShop saw last week, we could perhaps expect to see less content arrive in quick succession.
What we can enjoy though, is rather different to that which has come before. By which we mean Wii Fit U, of course. The free 31-day trial version has become available, inviting you to push your fitness levels to their limits with the full game unlockable through purchasing the Fit Meter at retail – which will come in Black, Red or Green.
Super Castlevania IV and Hotel Transylvania also appear, whilst an alarming array of special offers will get you in the Halloween Spirit – ZombiU and Resident Evil Revelations included.
The full list is as follows:
