| The award-winning title The Swapper has arrived. |
This is yet another massive week for the North American Wii U eShop, as there are ten newcomers to the digital store. The highlights are The Swapper, an award-winning indie game; and Super Mario Advance, an enhanced version of the classic Super Mario Bros. 2. It's also worth noting that the digital versions of Sonic Lost World and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed have received permanent discounts. Due to the sheer number of releases this week, we will once again be posting links to videos on YouTube, rather than embedding them. Details and links after the break.
