Don’t let the prospect of another Monday get you down, instead it’s time to look ahead to this week’s eShop releases in Europe. This Thursday sees a rather long list of games hit Nintendo’s online store, from new releases, demos and discounts, to some nice Virtual Console treats.
Check out the full list below and let us know which games will join your download queue this week.
Wii U eShop

- Mortar Melon (Nitrolic Games, €5.00 / £4.49 ) – the melon-slinging puzzle game moves from smart devices to the Wii U. It’s a physics-based game where you fling watermelon through multiple tricky stages.

Wii U Virtual Console
- Super Paper Mario (Nintendo, €19.99 / £17.99) – this title was originally released in 2007 for the Wii, and comes as a nice distraction before the release of its successor in October.
