Pikmin 3 Coming to the Wii U This Thursday

After a long wait Pikmin 3 fainally makes it's way to the eShop this Thursday for the Wii U but if you are a 3DS owner, you may want to check out the rather odd Petit Computer. Enjoy.

Pikmin 3
(Nintendo) Wii U 

On a hostile planet, command a giant army of tiny ant-like creatures to protect you, only in Pikmin 3 on Wii U. Lead two new Pikmin types as you explore a rich and diverse world, using the Wii U GamePad's built-in screen to oversee the action in this unique blend of action and strategy. Crack enemies' tough outer shells and break down barriers with the new Rock Pikmin, and use the new Winged Pikmin in combination with the individual skills of other Pikmin types to proceed. Decide how best to divide your Pikmin teams to assign them the most appropriate tasks, and maximise your progress in each day.

With Pikmin 3 launching on 26th July, and The Wonderful 101 launching on 23rd August, if Wii U console owners buy Pikmin 3 on Nintendo eShop between 26th July 2013 and 21st September 2013, they will be able to buy The Wonderful 101 on Nintendo eShop on the same Wii U for 30% off the regular Nintendo eShop price once it is released and only until 21st September 2013.

Kirby's Dream Land 3
(Nintendo) Wii U

King Dedede has been possessed by an evil force and is causing trouble all over Dream Land and only Kirby can save the day! As usual, Kirby can swallow his enemies and absorb their abilities like fire, ice or stone; but also Kirby can call on his animal friends like Rick the Hamster and Nago the Cat. He can also summon his stretchy-tongued pal Gooey, controlled either by the computer or a friend. With its colourful 2D graphics, classic gameplay and abundant cuteness, Kirby's Dream Land 3 oozes old-school charm!

This is the US version of the game.

SENGOKU
(D4 Enterprise) Wii

In this side scrolling action game set in Washington City, which was initially released in 1991, the player takes the role of a super warrior who must battle against ghosts from the past bent on taking over the present. The main feature of this title is the ability to change characters in mid-play. If you release an incarcerated character while fighting against the enemy, that character becomes available for you to use. The key to a successful strategy is adeptly switching among the ninja dog, samurai or ninja according to the situation. You can also pick up items like weapons and orbs that give you magical attacks. Not only is there adventure to be had in the regular world, but also in a parallel universe, where stages change at a hectic pace, with never a dull moment.
