As a fresh week begins we have the European Nintendo Download Update details to consider, showing us the digital goodies on the way later this week. This time around it's the Wii U that gets most of the new content, with some DLC and discounts also on the list - let's get to it.

Wii U eShop

forma.8 (MixedBag, €14.99 / £13.49, or €12.49 / £11.29 until 23rd March if you have downloaded the Nindies@Home demo) - A passion project from the Italian development team that's been in the works for a few years, this is a stylish puzzle exploration game that tells its story rather subtly. We'll have a review with you prior to release, and until then you can check out our interview with the developer.

Vaccine (RNC, €9.99 / £8.99) - From the development studio that produced FreezeME, this title provides a twist on the earliest Resident Evil games in particular; we're looking at a fixed camera perspective as you move between rooms. It takes place within a large house and gives you a choice of two characters; you have a limited time to find a vaccine for an infested friend. On top of that you have to solve the 'mystery' of the house to truly solve the problem - we'll pay this property a visit for review.

WALL BALL (RCMADIAX, €1.49 / £1.39) - This is an endless runner that aims to do the job with simple yet appealing 3D graphics. The levels are randomly generated and a long lasting gaming experience is promised.

Wii U Virtual Console

Harvest Moon 64 (Natsume, €9.99 / £8.99) - Here's an interesting release; not only did this N64 title not come to Europe back in the day, but there was a fear plans for it to come to the Virtual Console were also shelved. Here it is, nonetheless, giving a 64-bit take on the usual scenario of taking over and managing a farm through the seasons. We'll dust off our farmer's hat and head out into the field for a review.
