Discuss in talkback!

A Famicom Konami fighter, sumo, Super Mario Kart and revitalized Japanese classics permeate the eShop this week.

Even before the official firmware update on the 3DS, it’s been pretty busy this week. In case you haven’t heard, Nintendo rolled a new firmware update for the 3DS that contains tons of updates, including some DLC (kinda, right?) for the Mii Plaza among other things. For more on that, be sure to check out our news story. Aside from that, this week is full of some Japan only titles (go figure!) like Yie Ar Kung Fu, a fighting game from Konami that is considered by some in Japan as the basis for the fighting genre, Tsuppari Ōzumo, a sumo wrestling game on the Famicom, and a few other new releases which tie into pre-existing Japan exclusives. Be sure to check out below to see what Japan is getting this week!
