Nintendo eShop Europe downloads have been released by Nintendo for February 7th. As per usual this list only applies to gamers in Europe and it does not mean these are available to download right now, you’ll have to wait until Thursday as that is the day Nintendo updates the eShop.
After skipping a week last time the eShop returns with a bang, by bang I mean whimper. My personal highlights for this week would be to try out the Fractured Soul demo and if you don’t own MegaMan 2 yet then it’s worth picking that one up. I wish Nintendo would sort out their online services so I could play Virtual Console games on my 3DS without having to buy them again, I guess it’s seen as a separate product.

SENGOKU 2 (D4 Enterprise)
Wii - 900 points
Originally released in 1995, Sengoku 2 is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up game. The characters are warriors that have been summoned by a sorceress princess to take down a dark lord while battling through various epochs. As in the previous version, you can transform your characters, but unlike its predecessor, you don’t have to save your ally to be able to transform into them, but rather you can change among the Ninja, Tengu and Ninja Dog freely right from the beginning. Furthermore, one of the new elements to this version is the incorporation of build-up attacks and defence, giving a more tactical twist to this action brawler.
