Nintendo have released a list of this week’s eShop UK downloads for October 17th. As per usual this list only applies to gamers in the UK/Europe and does not mean these are available to download right now, you’ll have to wait until Thursday as it’s the day Nintendo updates the eShop.
This week’s highlight is none other than Sonic Lost World, Sega’s version of Super Mario Galaxy. The game is a follow up to Sonic Colours and Sonic Generations so we’re expecting good things from Sonic Lost World assuming the quality bar continues to be raised each with passing title. It does feel a little strange being excited for a Sonic title for once, I honestly didn’t think the blue blur had any life left in him after Sonic The Hedgehog 2006.
