Just one release for Europe this week - the N64 title Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards...

Kirby's first 3D adventure is now available to download from Nintendo's Virtual Console service. From today in Europe gamers can re-live the game - originally released on the N64 in 2001.

Kirby must trace all the pieces of a precious, shattered crystal across six worlds, which results in a showdown with enemy Dark Matter. As Kirby, players can utilise his unique copy ability, gulping down enemies to replicate their abilities, or mix and match them to discover dozens of new Kirby powers. The game also features three mini-games to enjoy with up to three other players! It's available now to download for 1000 Wii Points.
