Game Boy Color version of Prince of Persia will leap onto 3DS's eShop later this week

Retro gamers: rejoice. The Game Boy Color version of classic platformer Prince of Persia is leaping onto the 3DS's eShop later this week.

Originally designed for the Apple II and PC, Jordan Mechner's platform romp captured the hearts and minds of gamers the world over through its rotoscoped animations and ingenious level design.

And though the Prince's star has fallen slightly of late, it's hard to resist the opportunity to revisit his 2D glory days, even on a cutting-edge 3D device.

Prince of Persia will be available on the 3DS's eShop later this week for £4.50 / €5.

James pivoted to video so hard that he permanently damaged his spine, which now doubles as a Cronenbergian mic stand. If the pictures are moving, he's the one to blame.
