Friends, Romans (?), Nintendians: lend me your ears.

We have another week of 3DS eShop goodies to offer you, and there may, just may, be something worth picking up among them.

Hopefully, you'll find something that catches your eye in the following few paragraphs. If not, sue me. Actually, don't. It hurts.

Right, let's crack on, shall we...

European eShop releases

Shifting World is a platform-puzzler all about flipping worlds. I'm not swearing. It's about flipping worlds. Gah, stop it.

Anyway, it's a neat idea, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it's £17.99 if you're interested.

Mahjong 3D - Warriors of the Emperor is the classic tile-based game on your Nintendo 3DS screen. Groovy, yeah. From what I've heard, it's not too shabby, so perhaps that £17.99 price tag might tempt you.

And how about the classic Castlevania for Virtual Console? This is the first-ever title in the sprawling platform-adventure series. The NES version, that is, in case you were wondering. £4.49 for this piece of history.

US eShop releases

Well, aren't you Americans lucky. This week, you get the chance to pick up a download version of Rabbids Travel in Time 3D.

Well, actually, no. You aren't lucky at all. It's not very good, you see. As I noted in my review. So, errm, don't bother.

PETZ Fantasy 3D is also now available as a digital download. And it's... interesting. You look after colourful pets, and, well, let's be honest: it's probably not your sort of thing.

This week is nearly saved by the release of classic Dig Dug for the NES. It costs $3.99 if you're up for it.

And on that bombshell, see you again next week. Take care, soldier.
