13th August 2012 – Epic battles in ancient Japan await in MYSTICAL NINJA starring GOEMON, available from the Nintendo eShop this week. This action role-playing game from the Game Boy features three different characters to control, each with unique skills. Join Goemon and his friends Ebisumaru and Sasuke as they fight the evil Black Ship Gang and attempt to rescue their fellow ninja Yae from their clutches.

Elsewhere on Nintendo DSiWare, prepare to wage war against the elements as the young heroine Chilea in The Lost Town – The Jungle. Rid the jungle of a meteorite that has caused a trail of destruction and darkness in its wake. You are aware of the skills you possess, but there is also the question of finding food, ammunition, and other resources in order to survive.

The battle for world domination continues with pace with Escape the Virus: Shoot‘Em up!, an action-packed puzzle series which pits your skills against an array of vicious viruses, on Nintendo DSiWare. Shoot down hordes of vicious viruses in the ‘shooter mode’ or prevent enemies becoming too close in the ‘territory mode’.

If all that isn’t enough, make time for the world’s worst magician performing tricks and stunts that are doomed to fail in The Incredible Barbazan: Up Your Sleeve. Download the latest clip in this hilarious series on your Nintendo 3DS from the Nintendo eShop.
Don’t forget that from tomorrow Nintendo is launching full retail versions of games such as New Super Mario Bros. ™ 2 as a digital download from the Nintendo eShop for the very first time. Other full download versions of retail games such as New Art Academy™ and Freakyforms™ Deluxe: Your Creations, Alive! will be available for you to enjoy. By saving multiple full games to your Nintendo 3DS you will never be without Mario or your formees and won’t need to carry around lots of Game Cartridges.
