3DS

If you click on that orange bag icon on the main menu of your 3DS, you'll discover that Ninty has lined the eShop's shelves with some new produce.

Yes, it's that time of the week again. Get in!

Is there anything new worth grabbing from Nintendo's online distribution channel this week, though? Any classy new Virtual Console games? Some full-price retail bangers going digital?

Read on to find out...

European eShop releases

Let's kick this off with something that sounds pretty special - Aero Porter from Level-5 (of Professor Layton fame).

It's an airport simulator, would you believe, though it's more of a puzzler than a resource-management game like say, Flight Control. This'll most likely be worth a look-see, especially considering that £4.49 asking price. Feel free to wait for our review, mind, if you're not convinced.

Did you play Super Pokemon Rumble when it came out last year? Probably not, because it was a bit crap. Now, Nintendo wants you to pay £39.99 for a digital version of it. Hmm, I don't think so.

There are a couple of demos out this week, too.

The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave is a dungeon RPG, while New Style Boutique (Peter's new favourite game) is, well, not.

US eShop releases

And what about you Americans?

Well, you can grab Aero Porter, too. Oh, and it costs $4.99. That works out cheaper than our version. Grr. Grrrrrrr.

And how about Pac-Man for the Virtual Console? Yes, this Namco classic is now available to play on your 3DS, and will set you back $4.99 if you choose to buy it.

And that's all there is this week. Still, we can't complain, given that there's a Level-5 game in among the 'newbies'.

See you again next week, boys and girls!
