It's an unusually light week for downloads in Japan.

After a few weeks of mountains of digital titles, things have come to somewhat of a standstill on the eShop in Japan. The Virtual Console, which is near and dear to many of our hearts, has a few cool games on both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

While the side scrolling Wagyan Land might be a bit of an oddity (you’re controlling a green mechanical dinosaur for crying out loud!), Pop’n TwinBee’s updated visuals look great and appear to add to the already solid gameplay that the series possesses. Perhaps the best addition this week is the Japan only Game Boy Color version of Donkey Kong Land III. What happened to the original Japanese Game Boy version you ask? It was never released! The games themselves are more or less exactly the same, with the obvious differences being the addition of color. The game stars Dixie and Kiddie Kong (known as Dinky in Japan) and also features many of the familiar animal buddies found in the series. Keep your fingers crossed that this and the other Donkey Kong Land games eventually make their way to the West!
