    side-scrolling stages. By shaking the Wii Remote, you can shake
    down your enemies, free coins from treasure bags and even cause

    console platformer on the Wii U console today!

      In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also

      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, 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. For more information about
      this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu
