Nintendo Download: Teslagrad, KickBeat, Adventure Island, more

nintendoeshop-header

We interrupt your latest game of Destiny to deliver an update on this week’s Nintendo Download, which is a little light on the Destiny.

Instead, Wii U owners will have to content themselves with Teslagrad, a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer with hand-drawn environments; KickBeat: Special Edition, a rhythm game that combines music and kung fu (available September 16); and Adventure Island, the NES classic that introduced the world to Master Higgins.

Over on the 3DS side of the shop, players will be able to download The Keep, a dungeon crawler with real-time combat; Top Model 3D, a game that asks players to step into the (ridiculously expensive) shows of a famous model; and Hideaways: Foggy Valley, a hidden object game.

More details on all of these new releases can be found after the break.

KickBeat: Special Edition – Beat matching meets kung fu in KickBeat, an award-winning rhythm game where rhythm and action merge seamlessly.
