This week on the 3DS eShop - Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Mighty Switch Force 2, and lots of Sega Game Gear titles

Just because it's E3 week doesn't mean that Nintendo is going to rest on its laurels.

Indeed, The Big N has pulled off a blinder this week for European 3DS owners.

Oh, and it's tapped up its BFF Sega for some Virtual Console goodness.

See: I told you this week's eShop selection would be a country mile better than last week's, didn't I. Just call me Mystic Mike. Or Magic Mike. Hang on - maybe not Magic Mike, actually.

Anyway. Let's get on with the show...

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a game that you may have heard of. It's meant to be sort of good. Well, okay, it's actually downright lovely.

You can buy it at midnight tonight for £34.99 from the eShop.

Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns is now available in digital form. Yep, it was released as a retail title last year.

It's the best Harvest Moon game available on Nintendo 3DS, so you should definitely consider downloading it.

PETZ Fantasy 3D is also now available as a digital download. And it's, welllll, interesting. £17.99 for that.

4 Elements appears to be your bog-standard match-three game. It costs £10.79.

And here comes Sega...

The original handheld Sonic The Hedgehog is now on the eShop, priced £4.49. You may not have played this edition before, as it's a different game from the Mega Drive version.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, meanwhile, is an old skool colour-matching puzzle game. It's got a reasonable £2.69 price tag around its virtual neck.

Shining Force: Sword of Hajya is a tactical role-playing classic. Again, it's a different game from its Mega Drive counterpart. £3.59 is the RRP for that.

And, finally, the wonderful Columns. This is the match-three game that spawned / inspired a million copycats. History, people, history.

Americans: you can download Mighty Switch Force 2 this week. This puzzle-platforming sequel is relatively good fun.

If you have $5.99 going spare, you know what to do with it. Yes. Yes, you do.

Big Bass Arcade: No Limit is yet another fishing game for the 3DS. It costs $6.99, and it features tons of different fish species, challenges, and tournaments. Who knows: maybe it's reel good? Ahem.

Yip e! Picross e is now available for download. Enough said.

And, yeah, all those Sega Game Gear titles I mentioned up there are available on the US eShop, too.

Back again next week.
