It isn't necessarily every week that Europe has cause to be excited when the new downloads update comes around. However, you might want to fire up your systems for this round of software. That's right, folks - the hotly-anticipated Fallblox, sequel to last year's Pullblox, has arrived on the 3DS eShop. There are a few more noteworthy downloads, such as a demo of Zero Escape and a Virtual Console title in the form of hallowed NES platformer Ninja Gaiden.
As we just mentioned, the major new release this week is Fallblox. North America will receive the game next week under the name of Crashmo, but right now, Europe can enjoy the next 3D block puzzler from Intelligent Systems. Across 90 training stages, 140 main levels and potentially limitless user-made creations, players will have to contend with a whole new set of rules, including gravity and puzzles viewable from all sides. Fallblox is selling for £7.19/€7.99.
Johnny Hotshot is the other game added to the 3DS Download Software library, priced at £5.39/€5.99. As another arcade-style shooting gallery by UFO Interactive, this one drops the titular Johnny into a world based on the Wild West, where he must either pick off gangs of bandits or capture them with a lasso.
Moving on to the 3DS Virtual Console, Ninja Gaiden is now available for £4.49/€4.99. Few games are more fanatically revered for their extraordinary difficulty than this action classic, which first launched in Europe in 1991 as Shadow Warriors. Taking control of Ryu Hayabusa and armed with mighty Ninpo magic, the player has survive multiple hostile worlds on a quest to avenge Ryu's slain father.
Finally for this week, Magical Whip: Wizards of the Phantasmal Forest hits both DSiWare and the eShop. A fantasy themed puzzle platformer, Magical Whip features 50 stages in which players collect items and defeat enemies by chaining together combo manoeuvres. The game is yours for just £1.79/€1.99, or 200 DSi Points from the DSi Shop.
There is also a demo for Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward, the follow-up to 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. Just like its acclaimed predecessor, Zero Escape is a point-and-click text adventure, boasting a mysterious plot with 24 unique endings. The demo is, of course, free to download.
In addition to all of these, Nintendo has added New Style Boutique, or Style Savvy: Trendsetters the US, as a retail download. This simulation title allows budding fashionistas to design their own articles of clothing, help run a clothing retail store and enter modelling contests. New Style Boutique costs £39.99/€44.99 from the eShop, and those who are on the fence can try out a demo at no charge.
