Castlevania: The Adventure swinging onto the Nintendo eShop this Thursday

This coming Thursday, loads of fresh content will line the shelves of the Nintendo eShop, including several new games, a demo, and some downloadable content in the form of new songs for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

Most noteworthy among the new games going live on the eShop this week is Castlevania: The Adventure, which will be making the jump from the original Game Boy onto the Nintendo 3DS - whip and all.

Castlevania: The Adventure will no doubt serve as a tasty appetiser for those waiting to get stuck into Castlevania: Lords of Shadows - Mirror of Fate.

Konami's re-released platformer won't be the only new undead-stomping title gracing the eShop, though, for Zombie Slayer Diox is also heading to a virtual 3DS store near you. In UFO Interactive's game, mind, you have to overcome the flesh-eating hordes with phat beats instead of solid beatings.

In addition, you'll be able to download Escape the Virus: Swarm Survival from the eShop this Thurday, plus get a taster of Mutant Mudds with the newly available demo.

Finally, eight classic songs will be made available for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy in this week's eShop refresh. This represents the first piece of paid DLC for the "theatre rhythm-action" game - something that's sure to be a hit with the fans.
