Posted 13 Aug 2012 at 18:20 by Aaron Clegg
This week's downloads for Europe have been revealed, and for the first time ever, full retail games will be available on the eShop.
From this Thursday, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Freakyforms Deluxe, and New Art Academy will be available to purchase as downloads in addition to being in stores. Unfortunately, we only have the UK prices at hand, but it looks as though the convention is the games will cost the full-blown RRP price.
There's also a pair of DSiWare games, Konami's Mystical Ninja title for Game Boy on the 3DS Virtual Console, and a handful of new Theatrhythm tracks.
The goods hit this Thursday.
