Nintendo has revealed new content that is hitting both the Wii U and 3DS eShop as well as new sales and promotions that are going on. The new content hitting the eShop over the course of the next couple of days includes:

Nintendo eShop on Wii U

Disney Infinity - For the first time, Disney Infinity is available in the Nintendo eShop – and it's free to download. Enjoy online multiplayer and more fun ways to play. Use your Wii U GamePad controller to create your own worlds in the Toy Box or activate missions and unlock toys in Play Sets. With Disney Infinity, the possibilities are endless. (A Disney Infinity Figure and Base, sold separately, are required to play the downloadable version of the game.)

Virtual Console on Wii U

Mega Man 6 - This week: Mega Man 6, which originally launched on NES. On the eve of the Grand Championship of the First Annual Robot Tournament, Mr. X announced that the entire tournament was just a scheme to get his hands on the world's most powerful robots. Mega Man must battle through 16 levels to defeat his ferocious new foe.

Life Force - Blast your way through six stages of intense action and take on wave after wave of enemies, alternating between horizontal- and vertical-scrolling environments. Go at it alone, or invite a friend to pilot another ship and assist in the challenge. Do you have what it takes to save your planet from the monstrous Zelos?

Virtual Console on Nintendo 3DS

Xtreme Sports - Choose your hero and master sports like Skateboarding, In-Line Skating, Street Luge, Skyboarding and Surfing to become crowned the Xtreme Sports Champion. Can main characters Guppi and Fin battle their way to the top, or will they fall victim to the mischievous Bonehead Gang? Find out in this original mixture of sports, adventure and role-playing. The game features more than 400 competitors, multiple modes, power-ups and a tropical island lush with secret paths and hidden challenges.
