3DS

Ignore the fact that a new next-gen console was revealed this week. We've got Nintendo 3DS games to talk about.

Okay, so there isn't much going this week, to be honest. But what is there is rather decent. You should go take a look. Seriously. So now.

But what to grab? Well, listen up, and follow our in-the-known advice, and maybe you'll come out of the other end a better man/woman.

Onwards! To Mordor... sorry. The 3DS eShop.

European eShop releases

There's only one new title this week for European gamers, but it's a belter.

NightSky is all about rolling a ball around a series of puzzles. It's absolutely gorgeous, and the puzzles are excellent too.

I've played the PC version, and endorse it wholeheartedly. But if you need a full review, you can catch my review of the 3DS version early next week.

If you can't wait, you can pay the £8.99 asking price for it right now.

Other than that, we've got demos galore. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate has got a demo that I'm downloading as we speak. Looks great, and hopefully will play great too.

And the long-awaited Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is nearly here too. You can grab a demo from the eShop.

US eShop releases

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan is out in the US this week, carrying on the Japanese RPG saga. I can't honestly pass opinion on it right now, but there's a demo you can grab and check out, so go make up your own mind.

Viking Invasion 2 - Tower Defense is a sort of tame-looking tower defense game, that will set you back $7.99 if you're interested.

And Picdun 2: Witch's Curse is a dungeon-crawling RPG, with a $4.99 price tag. The original was excellent, so this may well be worth gunning for too.

The classic Yoshi is now available for the Virtual Console for $4.99. It's all about dropping enemies down for Mario to catch, and Yoshi will eat them if they're stuffed in an egg. It's sort of neat, but nothing amazing.

As for demos, you've got Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Fun times.
