The eShop is getting a colourful addition this week in the shape of Yoshi's Story. The Nintendo 64 title is hitting the Wii U Virtual Console, meaning we will all be grinning from ear-to-ear.
In addition to this, Pilotwings joins the New 3DS Virtual Console, Runbow gets a suite of add-ons and there's a few new games to try out.
Meanwhile, as was announced a while ago, several Wii U titles have joint the Nintendo Selects range. If you've been holding off buying The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze or any of the other new additions now is the time to pick them up!
Several titles have also had a permanent price drop and these can be found at the end of this page.
