This week's Nintendo eShop update just went live, and Wii U owners have a couple of platformers to choose from, while the 3DS eShop has some interesting titles as well.

Over on the Wii U, Rain Games' innovative Teslagrad has finally arrive, with a young boy using magnets and earning new abilities to get through a strange, mysterious new world. The game sells for $14.99, and looks to be one of the Wii U's most original titles to date.
