I'm going to level with you - there ain't much on the Nintendo 3DS eShop to get excited about this week.

This may well be due to the massive release of Wii Fit U on the Nintendo Wii U this week, meaning that other developers aren't too keen to go up against the Nintendo behemoth.

But honestly, it's probably more that the eShop is having a bit of a drought at the moment. Hopefully that will change in the run-up to Christmas.

Let's see what we do have, anyway.

European eShop releases

Hotel Transylvania is the single new release this week on the European eShop, and it's not even new - far from it in fact. We didn't like it a year ago, and we still don't - avoid, especially for the £17.99 price tag.

Want some sales? Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is just £5.39 right now, while Resident Evil Revelations is down to £14.99.

And that's your lot. Sorry about that.

US eShop releases

The US stores looks better than its European counterpart, but barely. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril might be worth a punt, offering the next in the LEGO game series for $39.99.

But then there's a lot of guff. Angry Bunnies, Arcade Classics 3D, Beyblade Evolution, PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures, Saban's Power Rangers Megaforce, Milon's Secret Castle... nothing particularly interesting.

The wonderful Shin Megami Tensei IV is on sale this week, though, with $10 off the regular price. So that might make this week a little easier for you.

Until next week, ta ta.
