The Nintendo Download is back again with a dirt, aliens, pixels, parties, and more!

Featuring on the 3DS side of things is the SNES classic Contra III: The Alien Wars. Bill and Lance are back to stop yet another alien invasion. Or if you are in the mood for digging, perhaps Digger Dan DX would be more up your alley. Go on an adventure to dig through old mines to uncover gold and gems from the earth!
Perhaps you do not like fighting aliens or digging. Perhaps you enjoy Pokemon, more specifically Pikachu. The Wii classic PokéPark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure is now available on the Wii U eShop. Play as Pikachu to run and jump your way through PokéPark on this action packed adventure. Are Pokemon too young for you? Perhaps some monsters are better suited for your taste. PixelJunk Monsters has you fighting off hordes of monsters set to destroy your children. Stay strong in this tower defense game! Maybe all this fighting is not necessary and you prefer a party. Chompy Chomp Chomp Party is a game that supports up to nine players and you chase the other players around. There are numerous types of modes and arenas offered to change up each time. Finally, maybe you just wanted something sweet. Sweetest Thing concludes the Wii U side of the eShop with a game to protect the Cupcake state from an ant invasion. Build, gather and fix this super sweet world.
