The latest Nintendo Download update for Europe has arrived, and it's bringing new games galore to the eShop in your region.

This week, we're a day later than usual — some pesky gremlins must have gotten into Nintendo of Europe's system, as the update didn't drop until earlier this morning (Really, it was Ascension Day in many parts of Europe, so many places were closed for the day. Thank you PALGamer for bringing it to our attention!). Still, that doesn't change the releases we're bringing you, so hopefully next week we'll be back to normal.
