Nintendo_eShop_logoThere’s not a crazy amount of new releases on the eShop this week, though Midtown Crazy Race for the Wii U and BLAZBLUE -CLONEPHANTASMA- and Demon King Box for the 3DS are all now available.

The digital version of Disney Infinity is also available for the Wii U… but of course you’ll need to buy the base and figures from somewhere to play it. Mega Man 6 and Life Force as Virtual Console releases round out the update as well.

Read on.
