In this brave new post-megathreads era, I thought it was an ideal time to give the eShop its own thread, for weekly (or whenever) updates of new content for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and any related discussion.

Most recent update for the 3DS eShop was on 3/1/12, and the releases were:
Ghosts'n Goblins (NES version, Virtual Console) £4.49
Touch Battle Tank 3D (3DS) £4.49
Crystal Adventure (DSi Ware) £1.79

I hope Red Alignment isn't under the impression that all the NES and SNES stuff coming to Wii U eShop is going to miraculously be 60hz because otherwise he's going to be avoiding a lot of stuff.

The only chance of it being 60Hz is if it was never released in Europe in the first place. Tactics Ogre 64. Sin & Punishment as well as Super Mario RPG are all 60Hz on Wii VC because Nintendo just released the US versions without any alterations.

I'm usually not too bothered about this 50/60hz thing, and at 30p it'll pretty much always be worth it. I've spent twice the amount on countless shitty iOS games which got deleted after a minute play. It's a bit silly that Nintendo doesn't offer the 60hz versions, but from their viewpoint it's completely understandable and frankly I think people are bit overly precious about it.

My Google skills seem to be failing me, so I'll ask here; they didn't mention a date on the Nintendo Direct when the VC on Gamepad will be enabled did they?

No, but it seems likely it's the spring update.

Hang on, these games are 30p and you get to keep them forever?

Yes, the selfish cunts.

As I posted it somewhere else, from Nintendolife:

3DS download software

Real Heroes: Firefighter 3D Download Version (Zordix, €9.99 / £8.99) — Having originally arrived as a retail title late last year, Zordix AB has taken over publishing duties for this Download Version, in which your goal is still to rise from being a rookie to a hero firefighter. We weren't at all impressed with the retail version in our Real Heroes: Firefighter 3D review, but will nevertheless douse any flames of curiosity and see whether the reduced price means any reduction in content.

3DS Virtual Console

Mega Man 2 (Capcom, €4.99 / £4.49) — Capcom is bringing the first six NES Mega Man titles to the 3DS Virtual Console, and now eager fans of the Blue Bomber can get their hands on the first sequel and, arguably, the beginnings of the series at its best. Some even regard this as the best in the original series, but wherever you stand in the argument this is classic Mega Man fare; we're more than happy to review it again in its 3DS guise, but until then you can always check out our Wii Virtual Console Mega Man 2 review.

3DS retail download

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (SEGA, €39.99 / £29.99) — This handheld version of the excellent Wii U title hit European stores on 1st February, and isn't taking long to speed onto the eShop for those that prefer downloading their retail games. Expect a lot of fast action and fan-service in this one.

3DS download demo

Fractured Soul (Endgame Studios, free) — A title with a long and torturous development history, its arrival brought us a hard-as-nails dual screen action platformer, with puzzle elements also thrown in. Clearing levels is one concern, while perfectionists can tackle the various collectibles in each stage; now you can see whether it appeals to you with this free sample.

Wii Virtual Console

Sengoku 2 (D4 Enterprise, 900 Nintendo Points) — It seems that whenever a Neo Geo title arrives, it involves one-on-one fighting to the death, or one vs many side-scrolling fighting to the death. This one's the latter, an action brawler where you play as "warriors that have been summoned by a sorceress princess to take down a dark lord while battling through various epochs"; no pressure, then. Despite some repetition, this battered its way to a solid recommendation in our Sengoku 2 review.

Nintendo Video

The Beet Party: Jurassic Fridge (Redrover, €0.99 / £0.89) — The Beet Party: Jurassic Fridge is the second in a series of 3D short videos available for download on Nintendo eShop. The two-minute interstitials target four to six year olds and follow the adventures of the five coolest beets around as they explore, experiment, celebrate and communicate with beat-boxing sounds when something new arrives in their fridge.
