As another week dawns, it’s time to look ahead at the new content due to come our way in just a few short days. This week brings some unique Wii U games, along with some DS Virtual Console treats, and a whole stack of discounts.

Check out the full list below and let us know which games will be the stars of your playlist this week.

Wii U eShop

  • Beatbuddy (Threaks, €8.99 / £8.09) – this action-adventure game relies on rhythm-based timing to perform some moves and key moments. With six beautifully hand-drawn worlds, each featuring unique music composed by industry legends like Austin Wintory, Parov Stelar, chiptune-genius Sabrepulse, and the La Rochelle Band, and the promise of more content in the form of DLC, this is one to look out for. Available from 5th August.
  • Sanatory Hallways (Wegenbartho, €9.99 / £8.99) – a unique two-player experience that sees one character wielding a flashlight to escape her nightmare, with the other being a ghost tasked with tormenting her. The spirit can set traps, turn off electricity and more. With free DLC planned to bring additional levels in the future, this is another to mark as intriguing.

Wii U Virtual Console

  • Star Fox Command (Nintendo, €9.99 / £8.99) – this DS title is the fifth in the Star Fox series, and hit Europe in 2007 (2006 in the rest of the world). It’s a little different from its predecessors, splitting play between tactical battles on the touchscreen and free roaming battles, though there is plenty of content on offer, including many colorful characters and multiple endings.
  • Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber (Nintendo, €9.99 / £8.99) – the successor to GBA title DK: King of Swing, this game was originally released on the DS in 2007 and utilizes the shoulder buttons for swinging between pegs, collecting items and tackling foes as you go. The gameplay is shaken up slightly with a few quirks, while multiplayer is also included (and will hopefully feature here as it was a local one-cart feature).
