This Weeks eShop Offerings

While the eShop is a much easier way to purchase your downloadable content than that previously offered by the DSi, it still doesn't have a great deal of quality content. No doubt tired of new offerings, Nintendo have this week gone down the retro path but is there anything this week for you?

Retro gaming fans will be excited to hear that two classic versions of Ubisoft’s legendary platformer series Prince of Persia are available to download via the Nintendo eShop, and the Wii Shop Channel this week.

If you are looking for some classic Game Boy Color and SNES platforming action then you are in for a treat. Relive the original adventures of the Prince of Persia as he swings across gaps, avoiding spikes and palace guards on his mission to battle the Grand Vizier. But be quick as the sands of time are flowing…

Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DSi owners can also enjoy 40 games all in one package with 40-in-1 Explosive Megamix. With Sudoku, Match 3, Cooking games and many more, there is a minigame for everyone to enjoy. Also released this week is Come On! Heroes, a classic tower defence game, where you must use strategy and quick wits to protect a rich Heiress from hordes of marauding heroes.
