    Nintendo 64 classic, take control of the Arwing and skim over the
    surface of an alien sea, weave through the concrete canyons of a

    systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to Nintendo eShop on the Wii U
    console, the Nintendo 3DS family of systems and the Wii^™ Shop
    Channel for the Wii console.

    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 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, New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL,
    Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS and Nintendo DSi feature
    parental controls that let adults manage some of the content their
    children can access. Nintendo 3DS players who register a Nintendo
    Network ID gain access to free-to-start games and free game demos from
    Nintendo eShop, and also get the latest news and information direct from
    Nintendo. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu
