This Week's European Downloads: Return of the Classics

The classics return this week with much loved titles available from Thursday at the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo DSi Shop and Wii Shop Channel.

First up is The Legend of Zelda originally released in 1986. Return to the mystical world of Hyrule as the brave young Link for an action packed adventure; explore dungeons and discover a myriad of secrets to rescue the princess. This title will be available on Virtual Console for the 3DS.

Another title returning this week is the Sega Mega Drive classic Street Fighter II: The New Challengers on Virtual Console for Wii. Choose from 16 different characters in this arcade-style fighting game to battle in elimination tournaments and local fights. You can now also take on challengers online as this title is the first Virtual Console for Wii game that supports online multiplayer.

Also new this week is the skill-based action running game I Must Run! which takes players across a city centre, underground station and over building site cranes, and Crystal Caverns of Amon-Ra which boasts over 1000 levels across 10 diverse worlds. Both titles will be available on the DS and 3DS.

New clips for Shaun the Sheep 3D and the Kid Icarus anime are also released this week exclusively for 3DS owners. Mischievous pigs cause havoc for Shaun on the farm whilst Palutena attempts to deal with a great catastrophe in her skyworld home.
