Nintendo Download Update – Super Mario Maker, Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX

There’s no doubt that Super Mario Maker is the big Wii U release this week, or month even. Yeah, it won’t be available until tomorrow, but we assume that it’ll be a pretty popular download either way.

Wii U gamers can also get their hands on The Swindle, QUBE DIrector’s Cut and a few other new titles. Tecmo Bowl launches as a Virtual Console release too, finally.

Nintendo 3DS owners can pick up Sega’s latest and greatest Hatsune Miku release, Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX.
