Heads up Nintendo gamers, there’s a pretty hearty eShop update this week.

3DS players will be treated to the brand new, awkwardly titled Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions and LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, and also Symphony of Eternity  for the Nintendo 3DS.
