Nintendo Download for August 4, 2016 – North America

The heat is turning up as the Nintendo Download enters August!

This week’s Nintendo Download kicked off the month of August and seems it had sweated too much as there are not many games added.  There are just six titles available with two of them being demos.  Are you ready? Let’s jump right into the action!

The 3DS continues to be outpaced for the year with only two titles added to the eShop.  First up is one of the demos, which is for the game Style Savvy: Fashion Forward.  This demo allows you to take on five professions with unique challenges and game mechanics.  Put your fashion and style skills to the test to see if the full game is right for you. The other title available is Stickman Super Athletics.  The Rio summer Olympics are nearly here so if you want to play a few different events like jumping hurdles, swimming, cycling or even the long jump – then be sure to help the stickman out!  Compete against your friends, or tackle the online leaderboards to prove you are the best at these events!

Kicking off the Wii U side of the eShop is a new DS Virtual Console game Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.  You are a new Pokémon ranger quested to help out others and capture or meet various Pokémon.  You may also want to check out Dragon Skills which is a combination of the classic games Break Out and Snake.  Destory the blocks above with a tail that gets increasing the longer you play.  Fans of the Just Dance series will be happy as they can now download a demo of the 2017 version of the game, which will launch later this fall.  Finally, there is Overworld Defender Remix which is an arcade shooter game.  You can defend the Overworld by yourself or with a friend in your mission to save the galaxy!

The 3DS Theme shop got a bunch of Disney related themes, so be sure to check those out if you are a Disney fan.  As always, you can check out the full list of all new releases, prices, discounts, and more below.
