Welcome to your weekly Nintendo Download report. This week, Nintendo has added four games to the Wii U eShop, three to the 3DS eShop, and one to the DSiWare Shop. Here we go…
The Wii U eShop is now home to Swords & Soldiers, a side-scrolling RTS; Squids Odyssey, a squiddy RPG; and Fit Music, a dancing/exercise game; and Street Fighter Alpha 2, a classic 2D fighter originally released for the Super NES.
Over on the 3DS eShop, Nintendo has added Mega Man V, the last Mega Man game released for the Game Boy; Turtle Tale, a turtley 2D platformer; and Alien On the Run, an overhead-style puzzle platformer.
Finally, Nintendo has added Lost Treasures of Alexandria to the DSiWare Shop. The game is, as you’d expect, a match-3 puzzler.
More information on all of these games can be found after the break.

Lost Treasures of Alexandria – Few are aware, and mainstream science seems to ignore the fact, that some almost perfectly spherical metal spheres were found buried deep in various mines in Africa. The spheres have three concentric rings etched around their circumference, which appear to be neither natural nor man-made. So what are these anachronisms doing in rock strata dating back over a million years? Is it possible that the first civilizations could be millions of years old?
