Oh, the NES... simpler times. Blowing into cartridges, power gloves, cheat codes, Minus World, R.O.B. and The Wizard. It was a time when people could makeAdventure Island (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/adventure-island), a game in which a rotund man clad only in tiny green shorts and a white cap went running, jumping and skateboarding around the forests and caves of the South Pacific. And, with the help of a fairy called Honey Girl, he saved a princess from a witch doctor. Time-travelers, take yourselves to the Wii U this week and go skate some clouds.
If you want something a bit fresher on Wii U, Teslagrad (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/teslagrad) offers Metroid-like platforming with a dollop of electromagnetism, steampunk and Eastern European art. There's also the kung-fu rhythm of Kickbeat (http://www.joystiq.com/game/kickbeat), and on 3DS you've got first-person, old-school dungeon crawler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjfYSOCNLOQ.
Apart from that, Nintendo's pre-Super Smash Bros. sale is also worth a look. Running through until the release of Smash on 3DS, the big N's discounting games starring the fighter's roster. Check out the Smash sale here (http://www.nintendo.com/eshop/offers#week01) and all the other discounts (http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140911005190/en/Nintendo-News-Nintendo-Download-Highlights-Digital-Content#.VBGosfldV8E), and jump past the break for the full list of new releases.
