Thanks to the latest batch of Game Boy Advance games on the Wii U, and the usual influx of games on the Nintendo 3DS, Japan has another packed week on the eShop. While nearly half of the GBA games are available in the West on the Wii U, there are a few that are not out there yet - Wario Land 4, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Mario Tennis: Power Tour, and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. To add to the Virtual Console wealth, two more PC Engine titles, China Warrior, and R-Type, made it to Nintendo’s home console. Child of Light also snuck into the eShop this week, matching the release of the title in the West. The 3DS is no slouch either, as tons of downloadable titles and Shadowgate hit the VC. For a complete look at this week’s releases, be sure to check out everything below!

I'd love Wario Land 4 and the Minish Cap (even though I remember it being very short) in US!

Dang It! At first I saw the picture and didn't realize that this is the Japan releases article. I thought "yes it's Thursday and that's Link. They're releasing Minish Cap today!!!" Keep in mind I was in college when Minish Cap came out and my budget was too tight for video games so I still haven't played it. I'm really hoping NOA picks up Minish Cap on my Wii U!!!

I hope it happens, too! Half of the GBA games this week are only available on the Wii U eShop in Japan. Let's hope the West gets it together and has these out there soon!
