So we've got a Nintendo Direct coming up about, oh, eight hours after press time that will make this week's downloads swell even more, but it's already big. There's a retail release in Scribblenauts Showdown, and warnings have been issued not just for the Northeastern US/my part of Canada, but Fear Effect: Sedna. Thankfully, Flinthook arrives Friday to provide some quality grappling action.

Roguelike/shooter Steredenn: Binary Stars is also on the docket today, along with the dreaded zombie game. The retro front sees Real Bout Fatal Fury come in the archives - for the record, this isn't a remake of the original, it's actually the sequel to Fatal Fury 3. Luckily Hamster has released most of these in order.

The lineup is largely identical (for now) in Europe, while Japan gets Your Four Knight Princess Training Story (it makes sense in context) and yet another mahjongg game that will only work with Japanese PayPal accounts.
