Nintendo has updated the North American end of the eShop with the massive, free August content update for Splatoon.

Super Smash Bros. players can also grab free and paid DLC today on 3DS and Wii U, and the Pokemon Rumble World Update contains a new area and a bonus item.

Wii U and Nintendo 3DS: Super Smash Bros. DLC - Free updates include a K.K. Slider costume for Mii Fighters, new Community Tournament and Regular Tournament modes and the ability to upload saved replays to YouTube.

Wii U: New Splatoon Free Update – Includes two new modes: Squad Battle and Private Battle. There are also new weapons, level-cap increases, more than 40 new types of gear and more to come throughout the rest of the summer.
