More On: Nintendo eShop Nintendo Download Child of Light NES Remix 2 Mario Golf: World Tour

Hot off the heels of last week's Nintendo Download that saw Super Mario Bros. 3 come to the Virtual Console is...not as awesome but still fun nonetheless, at least where the Virtual Console is concerned.  The Wii U's VC saw the arrival of Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 from the Game Boy Advance...which is kind of strange as they could have also released the Super NES version, but still it's a fun game either way.

The Wii U also saw the release of NES Remix 2, the sequel to the original with better games (in my humble opinion) such as Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Zelda II: Adventure of Link, and Kirby's Adventure.  Plus if you also own the original NES Remix you can access a special Championship Mode based off of the 1990 Nintendo World Championships NES cart.  Finally, you can check out a trailer for Child of Light which releases on April 29th.

Over on the 3DS we have a demo for Mario Golf: World Tour as well as a trailer for Gardening Mama 2: Forest Friends which also releases April 29th.  Select games by Joindots will be on sale until 9am PT on May 8th including FunFair Party Games, Gardenscapes, Secret Agent Files: Miami and 3D MahJongg.
