There’s a bit of a retro theme going on in this week’s eShop update.
The week is headlined by a trio of older games getting some more time in the sun. PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC is a remake of the 1999 game that found the iconic arcade pellet-muncher making the jump to 3D platforming, while Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection brings together a whopping 13 classic Konami games. On top of that Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3 features a re-release of a game that was initially released on the first PlayStation (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) and another that first came out on the PS2 (La Pucelle: Ragnarok).
See the full list below, and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here.
