There are a few 3DS eShop releases this week but not a whole lot of big items in this Nintendo Download.  Pokemon X/Y are the featured items as they will be available for download from the eShop starting October 12th.  Classic NES games ‘Golf’ and ‘Tennis’ are also available now on the Wii U.  One cool fact about ‘Golf’ on the NES: the levels are the basis for the levels in Wii Sports Golf on the Wii.  Play ‘Golf’ on the NES and then play Wii Sports Golf to see the similarities for yourself.
