This week on the 3DS eShop: Animal Crossing, Tetris, and that's about it actually

For the US, this week on the Nintendo 3DS eShop is hugely exciting, thanks to a particularly notable release.

In comparison, Europe has received arguably its worst week of releases on the eShop ever. Funny how that works out, huh?

Actually, if we discount the one big release for the Americans, both stores are pretty lousy this week. Perhaps no-one wanted to release a game around the same time as potentially the biggest 3DS game ever? Who knows.

Let's get this over and done with, shall we?

Europeans! You get Tetris 3DS this week. That's right - the 2011 release of Tetris that adds all sorts of modes and AR abilities and other such Tetrisy stuff.

It's not bad for £8.99, but really if you hadn't bought it by now, there's probably a reason for that, right?

And... well, that's your lot actually. I told you it was bad! But don't worry, we get Animal Crossing next week. And speaking of Animal Crossing...

Americans! We Europeans hate you this week, and that's because you've got Animal Crossing: New Leaf a few days before us.

To be exact, you can expect to download the game from midnight on June 9. That's this Sunday!

But that's all you have this week. See, we got Tetris and you didn't, so that means we technically win. Don't be a spoilsport now.

Let's hope next week is a country mile better, huh?
