learn to paint and draw, or sharpen your current skills. Follow along
with 30 new art lessons, and create your own masterpieces using the Wii
U GamePad controller. Share works of art via Miiverse, and even upload
time-lapse videos of your creations to YouTube. If you have the Art
Academy: SketchPad software on your Wii U system, you’ll get $4.00

- Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)
– Never Alone is an atmospheric puzzle platformer developed
in collaboration with the Iñupiat, an Alaska Native people,
drawn from a traditional story that has been shared across generations.
Available exclusively in the Wii U version of the Never Alone
game, collect more than 20 in-game Cultural Artifacts that feature
beautiful high-resolution images and compelling background information
drawn from the collections of the Smithsonian Institution. Click here to view a
trailer for the game.
- Shiftlings – Control two
adorably dimwitted space janitors in this quirky puzzle platformer. You
must shift size and weight between the two cosmic custodians, who are
conjoined by an air hose, to avoid dangerous traps and fix problems
before disaster strikes. Play on your own or with a friend locally
through the zaniest locations in the known (and unknown) universe.

Also New this Week
In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also
offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their
systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to the Nintendo eShop on the
Wii U console and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, the Nintendo DSi
™
Shop for the Nintendo DSi system and the Wii
™ Shop Channel
for the Wii console.
The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety
of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos.
Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or
purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the
code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in the
Nintendo eShop on either Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems,
but can be used in either Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a
single Nintendo Network account.
The Wii Shop Channel offers games and applications and uses Wii Points
™,
which can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel. The Nintendo DSi Shop
offers games and applications and uses Nintendo DSi Points
™,

Remember that Wii U, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS

of the content their children can access. For more information about
