We're starting off the new year with a new weekly article that will list Nintendo's PR update for the North American eshops! This week's article is a bit late, but from now on this article will be published sometime during the same day as the eshop has its weekly update!

These are the new additions and sales for the week for the North American Wii U and 3DS eshops!

Virtual Console on Nintendo 3DS

Bionic Commando: Elite Forces – You are the perfect combination of man and machine – a Bionic Commando equipped with a Bionic Claw that will be extremely handy when infiltrating the danger zone. Blast through enemy lines as you grapple, swing and scale more than 20 levels of forests, deserts, mountains and futuristic cities. You are the last hope in saving your homeland from utter destruction. Suit up, soldier!

Virtual Console on Wii U

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire – Much more than a regular pinball game, Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire combines fast flipper action with a unique way to catch your favorite Pokémon. Control the flippers to shoot the Poké Ball at targets on one of two PlayFields. Play on either the Ruby or Sapphire Field to rack up as many points as possible.
