Nintendo’s mapping service for the Wii U, Wii Street U, is now available on the Wii U eShop as a free download. But if you’re interested in the Google Maps-powered application, I suggest you get it quick, as it’ll be free only for a limited time.
3DS players will get a chance to download three games this week: the NES version of the arcade classic Dig Dug, the minigame collection Rabbids Travel in Time 3D, and the mythical pet-raising game Petz Fantasy 3D.
You can read all about these titles (as well as new additions to the DSiWare Shop and Wii Virtual Console) after the break.
Wii U eShop
Wii Street U – With Wii Street U powered by Google, you can step into Google Street View with an immersive experience that will make you feel like you’re actually there. View a 360-degree Google Maps Street View of locations all over the world using the Wii U GamePad controller’s motion controls. Jumping to a location is easy: Just use the GamePad touch screen to type in an address or location and start exploring, or instantly travel to more than 70 hand-picked locations around the globe.
