Another week begins with the Nintendo Download Update in Europe, and this particular batch brings us the result of a Nintendo Direct reveal, a LEGO movie adaptation, more classic Mega Man and some discount options. It's a relatively short list, bringing us a slight pre-E3 lull.
Wii U Virtual Console
Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue & White (Capcom, €6.99 / £6.29) - Another continuation of the RPG gameplay introduced in the first two games, with malfunctions thrown into the mix. Although this comes in two different versions, the content is largely the same across both; we gave this a glowing recommendation in our Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue & White review.
Wii U eShop Temporary Discounts
Cubemen 2 (Nnooo, €4.49 / £3.99 until 25th June, normally €7.99 / £6.99)
Fit Music for Wii U (O2 Games, €12.90 / £9.90 until 11th July, normally €29.99 / £24.90)
Luv Me Buddies Wonderland (O2 Games, €12.90 / £9.90 until 11th July, normally €29.99 / £24.90)
3DS eShop
Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure (Nintendo, €9.99 / £8.99) - This latest entry in the franchise combines plenty of ideas from its predecessors with the Miracle Cure pill, which has multiple uses that can switch up a game. There's Dr. Luigi, Virus Buster, multiplayer (online and local) and download play included; we'll see whether this makes us feel better in a review.
3DS Retail Download
LEGO Jurassic World (€29.99 / £24.99) - This LEGO adaptation of the original trilogy and this summer's blockbuster is out on both Wii U and 3DS this week, though oddly only this portable iteration is confirmed for the eShop so far.
3DS eShop Temporary Discounts
Luv Me Buddies Wonderland (O2 Games, €10.90 / £8.90 until 11th July, normally €24.90 / £19.900
Battleminer (Wobbly Tooth, €3.99 / £2.99 until 25th June, normally €7.99 / £5.99)
That's the full European line-up for this week - let us know what you'll be downloading in the poll and comments below.

Wow, Capcom really milked Megaman to death!
Does Nintendo just have 50 Megaman games on standby for weeks when they can't think what to throw out there?
@andyg1971 yet Capcom stick thier middle finger up at Nintendo for anything else. Sometimes i wonder why Nintendo keep them around.
That's all of it? Hmmmm.... Getting Dr. Mario, Fullblox and Boxboy this week.
No mention of Lucas DLC?
What awful week!
Can we possibly have some decent discounts!
RUBBISH WEEK!
Very quiet week then, must be saving some surprise releases for E3!
For once im happy with the lack of content this week. It gives me hope that there will be some nice surprises next week. Im just waiting to hear those magic words: "This will be available shortly after this presentation"
At least the Wii U and 3DS both get a good game. So there have been way worse weeks than this.
I see O2 are discounting there games again, I don't know why they just don't put them on the lower price permanently.
Capcom can sit on it and swivel. I've never really been a fan of Dr Mario so I guess it's nothing for me this week.
Pre-E3 drought?
@TheHumbleFellow Weirdly no. Not sure why, maybe a second pre-E3 batch of details is coming after Thursday, as Lucas arrives on 14th June.
Slow week...
@TheHumbleFellow This update is for the 11th of June. Lucas is live on the 14th of June.
AVGN...
Man, I would like a lit bit lower price for Dr. Mario. It's a little pricy in my currency.
That's the weakest line up for month.
The last time the line up looked that bland a Nintendo Direct followed and brought us two new systems.
So I'd guess Nintendo will be releasing more games mid-week after the E3 conference.
worst week in a long while
Come on, hands up, who doesn't have Fit Music for Wii U yet?
@Bulbousaur
Exactly what I was gonna say. I didn't expect anything more than this; on the contrary, I'd have been worried if there was many stuff, which unsurprisingly isn't there this time around. Nintendo is no stranger to surprise additions in the wake of Nintendo Directs and such and this week is no exception. So I'm confident this week is gonna be awesome, no doubt about it - we just don't know to which extent yet.
I thought Dr. Mario comes out Wednesday 10 june not thursday 11 june.
Although I want Mega Man Battle Network 3, I'm going to wait in case next week Nintendo announce Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade.
@andyg1971 You are aware that these are still the aftershocks of "Mega-May" right ? Also, yes, there are plenty of MegaMan games to go:
3 Battle Network games, MegaMan & Bass and, if DS VC will be involved, 2 ZX and 3 Star Force games.
What exactly is your problem with that ?
I'm getting Lego dinosaurs, but not as a download. And not for 3DS. S'why I'm ignoring the poll for today. Sorry gaiz
Nothing for me this week. Again.
@Einherjar Holy crap... Might as well rename it the Mega Man Console
By the time I've played enough Splatoon, Yoshi's Woolly World will be out! So no downloads for quite a while for me. I haven't used the eShops for quite a long while!
Every week with a Mega Man game is a good week
I'm definitely buy MMBN3, and will probably get Miracle Cure eventually, but not this week.
i thought the last 2 weeks for 3ds was a delight,but this week is utter joy!!!!!! what is nintendo playing at!!!!!!
isn't LEGO Jurassic World for Wii U also?????
Where is LEGO Jurassic Park for Wii U?
Nothing for me, though I might check out the Dr Mario game.
Well I feel stupid, I thought Dr Mario was on Wii u aswell, WRONG!! Nothing for me in which case, which is fine as I have loads to play still and more on the way. I've been well into batman: arkam city lately which surprised me by being great so far.....
Watch the profanity please.
Christ almighty, that Dr Mario price is a joke!
Probably gonna pick up Battleminer on sale.
Meh.
:/
Worst week ever?
Dr. Mario is way too expensive... so nothing.
Is it just me or does this week feel a bit empty.
Gah...with so many games on my wish list, weeks like this are a kick in the jewels.
Another 'Nothing...' week! How many in a row is that now?
@whodatninja Right next to the AssassinsBox and the Call of Station
Seriously though, yes, MegaMan is a long running franchise with many different sub series and genres.
@ikki5 you're right,
why did nintendo life forgotten about the wii u version of LEGO Jurassic Park
that's it!? there is got to be more game release in Eshop for europe this week!?
What a small pile of joy
@Einherjar How many Megaman games do you really need? An average series from an average company that is not even supporting the Wii U!
Can I just say that
"Dr Mario, Lego Dinosaurs, Mega Man and more."
is a lie.
Megaman is dull, dull, dull.
Its people like you that deny us Mega Man Legends 3.
All of them. If they can be put on to the Virtual Console, put them on the Virtual Console. Same as with any other game or series. Besides, as you should full well know, the Battle Network series plays completely different to the classic, X and Zero series.
Please let that be true
@andyg1971 Well, be glad @Bass_X0 was quicker, as i would have said the same thing, but not quite as nice.
But trust me, we get it, you dont like one of gamings longest running and most iconic franchises
And from the sound of your comment, you havent even played more then 2-3
But to be fair, i still love this "dull" series, consisting of linear platformers, metroidy platformers, dungeon crawlers, board games, kart racers, fighting games, strategy games, RPGs and many many more should you count their mobile outings
I wonder what nintendo are going to do when they eventually run out of megaman games.
Terrible week, ASIDE from Dr. Mario holy hell... That looks amazing. Where is the hype? :3
Really though, NOA, hurry up! I want my Miracle Cure...
Wow what a crappy week jeez!!
Pretty bad lineup if you ask me....
Don't worry guys, just had it confirmed from Nintendo that next week they are releasing Megaman Battle Network Hyper Smash 2 Worlds Collide Magenta, things are looking up at last!!!
@Deanster101 You mean in 2035? Lol
im hoping for Gotcha racing this week in north America. I think its still a few weeks away. was hoping Europe may have got it today.
@outburst
"Dr Mario Miracle Cure, Fullblox (Stretchmo) and Box Boy"
A truly excellent choice of games. I couldn't have picked a better myself
Considering eshop sales are now a bigger deal for me than steam, this is quite dissapointing.
£9 is a bit too much for dr mario, £6ish and i probably would have purchased. The thing with the nintendo eshop only games is they hardly ever go on sale so i'll probably never pick it up
@AyeHaley @ikki5 I ate some of its legos choked and died, so its nolonger coming to wii U, sorry guys.
Yes I wrote this message form the grave. goml.
