Nintendo continues its tradition of delivering new and exciting digital content with this week's Nintendo Download Update for North America.

The July lineup rolls out an array of fresh titles on the Wii U and 3DS eShop, featuring celebrated indie releases, engaging discounts, and Virtual Console classics.

Both newcomers and established franchises are putting their best foot forward, ensuring Nintendo fans have plenty of choices to explore on their favorite hardware platforms. On the Wii U eShop, this week’s standout launch is 'Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition' from Drinkbox Studios.

Priced at $14.99 USD, this critically-acclaimed action-platformer makes its debut on Nintendo’s home console with new abilities, expanded level content, and enhanced visuals, all inspired by vibrant Mexican folklore.

In a statement, the development team emphasized their excitement to bring the definitive version of Guacamelee! to dedicated Nintendo players, citing the Wii U’s local co-op capabilities as a great match for the game’s cooperative play. Another noteworthy addition on Wii U is 'Armillo', developed by Fuzzy Wuzzy Games.

This 3D rolling platformer offers a unique sci-fi universe where players must navigate intricate spherical worlds and bonus moon stages.

With an introductory price of $6.00 USD until July 24, Armillo tempers classic platforming action with inventive level design, and the team at Fuzzy Wuzzy Games expressed gratitude for the support from Nintendo fans following the game’s announcement and interview coverage earlier in the year. The Wii U eShop also welcomes several other new arrivals.

'Bombing Bastards' from Sanuk Games, retailing at $6.99 USD, channels the classic Bomberman formula with both single-player and local multiplayer modes for up to five participants.

Indie puzzle title 'Internal Invasion' by Bear Box Media offers 50 challenging stages focused on eliminating viruses, while RCMADIAX’s 'POKER DICE SOLITAIRE FUTURE' mixes classic casino elements with easy-to-learn gameplay suitable for GamePad sessions.

ZeNfA Productions joins the Wii U scene with 'ZaciSa’s Last Stand', a bot-driven tower defense game at $2.99 USD. Retro fans can revisit 'Mario Tennis: Power Tour' through the Wii U Virtual Console for $6.99 USD.

This Game Boy Advance classic fuses sports action with RPG progression, allowing players to level up and take on beloved Mushroom Kingdom athletes.

Shoppers will also find special pricing on Wii U eShop favorites, including a permanent discount on 'Just Dance 2014' (now $39.99 USD) courtesy of Ubisoft, and a temporary promotion on 'Kung Fu Rabbit' from Neko Entertainment at $2.49 USD until July 10. The Nintendo 3DS eShop lineup features 'Squids Odyssey' by The Game Bakers at $14.99 USD, blending action strategy with RPG elements in turn-based, underwater battles.

Other 3DS highlights include the speedy sequel 'Bike Rider DX2: Galaxy' (Spicysoft, $2.99 USD), deep WWII strategy from 'Glory of Generals' (CIRCLE Entertainment, $9.99 USD), and hidden-object adventure 'City Mysteries' (Teyon, $4.99 USD).

Free retail demos, such as 'Tomodachi Life' from Nintendo, give players a taste of the latest social simulation experience. Fans of discounts will find savings on select Atlus releases, including 'Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl' and 'Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan', available at reduced prices on the 3DS eShop from July 7 to July 21.

Rounding out the update, WiiWare and DSiWare platforms receive new content in the form of 'Karaoke Joysound' (Brother International Corp.) and 'Mysterious Stars: A Fairy Tale' (Collavier Corporation, 500 Nintendo Points) respectively, keeping classic hardware alive for diehard collectors and longtime fans. Whether fans are drawn in by high-octane platformers, strategic RPGs, or nostalgic favorites, this week’s Nintendo Download underscores the eShop’s ongoing commitment to variety and choice.

With so many fresh launches and attractive discounts, there’s never been a better time for Nintendo enthusiasts to explore new digital adventures on both Wii U and 3DS.
