Now it's bringing its little mascot Master Higgins to the 3DS as well with this week's title.
3DS Virtual Console
(Game Boy, Hudson, £2.70/€3) — This is actually based on on NES, but let's not split hairs.

It's still a pretty decent platformer, as you'll read in our review later this week.
DSiWare
(Cinemax, 800pts) — The latest musical studio software from Cinemax, following on from strong showings in dance, rock and hip hop, this is a retro-styled outing.

We'll see if it hits the right notes with a review shortly. (Gamelion, 500pts) — Gamelion's cuddly furballs make their way to DSi some years after the game was first revealed, and while it's not a perfect platformer, it has its own charms too.

Check out our for more.
WiiWare Demo
(Microforum, full version: 500pts) — We didn't like 3D Pixel Racing very much, but that's not saying you won't love it like it's your own child. You can also read our for a bit more information on what the full game's like.

Well that's a nice surprise for a VC game. Ahh, I got mixed up and thought Freakyforms was out this week!

nooooo. - yeah, I wish they did that, but considering the fact that those GBA games were supposed to show up "before the end of the year" I wouldn't expect them to show up before december rolls in.

As for the games - nothing that I want, though Adventure Island looks interesting. I really hope that we will get Metroid II at some point.

It's over a month now since it was released in Japan and no word about EU/US has been spoken... Still no Metroid II... Finally Rytmik Retrobits comes out!

I can't decide if I get <nothing> for WiiWare or <nothing> for VC. They are both very tempting.

And reasonably priced. Nothing for me yet, unfortunately Was hoping for Metroid, Pokemon, or Final Fantasy Legends. Based on the original NL review, which for whatever reason disappeared, Adventure Island 2 GB was the far better game.

I'll just wait for that one. I don't want this. The WiiWare version is a pale imitator of the Virtual Console original though.

If you want to play <nothing>, Virtual Console has to be the way to go. Nice!

I'm glad to see Adventure Island make the jump to eShop. The more platformers the better! Was hoping for Metroid, Pokemon, or Final Fantasy Legends.

We'd know already if Pokemon or Final Fantasy was coming out. Adventure Island was released in Japan a while ago so it was to be expected here at some point. GB Adventure Island, yay!!
This game is actually a very good port of Adventure Island 2 on the NES (which still is nowhere to be seen in the US).

Here's hoping for the eventual release of GB AI2 (which is itself a faithful port of NES AI3, btw). I'd be looking forward to AI on GB if I didn't have both of the original carts.
(and to make it more confusing, the Japanese GB releases did keep the same numbers as their Famicom counterparts) Nothing for me this week. I would get Adventure Island but it's not really jumping out at yelling "buy me!" I'll wait for next week then...

: Thanks for the recommendation. I agree that the VC version has been around longer and is more established.

I bought 0 points via credit card and maybe download it this evening. But maybe I'll wait for a review first.

Ugh... this just reminded me that we in the US never got Adventure Island II on Virtual Console before the service appearently ended. Adventure Island has never been my idea of fun, but I will make Retrobits my maiden 3DS purchase.

Too bad it isn't a 3DSware game, but I've really had fun with the other Rytmiks, and I can really use a chiptune music maker. Adventure Island? Aw, man...but I'd like some Wario Land action for my birthday...

My main focus right now is Super Mario 3D Land! There's nothing I wanted on this week's download list anyway... Nothing for me.

Woooo, Retrobi-
Oh wait, EU only so far. D:< NOA needs to step up their game and just announce the release date for it here. So it's Thursday morning and there's no North America download post yet.
