Nintendo has announced that Punch Out! for the NES will be coming to the eShop in Japan on the 1st of February. The game will not be a 3D Classic, but rather a straight port. This makes it the first regular NES game to be put on the eShop that Ambassadors did not get for free. No word yet on a release date for other regions. You can check after the break for screenshots of the game.
Mutant Mudds from Renegade Kid is arriving on the 3DS via the eShop on January 26th and various sites have already published their reviews, all of which are very positive.
…what Mudds boils down to is one of the most impressively designed 2D platformers we’ve seen in the last ten years, and a game that easily stands up to the best in the genre, including industry-standards like Mario.
…offers up the best of both 8-bit and 16-bit worlds, all the while giving fans of the genre a classic 2D platformer. Mutant Mudds might very well be the best eShop game to date, and one no platformer fan should miss.
…deserves to be played by any fan of 2D platformers. Outside of the 3D effects, it doesn’t do anything too radical, but it doesn’t have to. Renegade Kid’s first 2D platformer is a sweet, sincere effort that will remind you of the great platformers of the early ‘90s.
So, who’s going to pick up the game once it’s released?

And so it begins.
Zen Pinball 3D arrives on the 3DS in North America on the eShop on the 12th of January. There is seventeen minutes of footage from the game that you can watch after the break in the mean time.
A demo for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy will be launching tomorrow in Japan. Unfortunately, the demo will expire after only three plays, compared to the usual thirty plays. Hopefully the amount of content in the demo is large enough to make up for the limited amount of plays.
Nintendo has apparently sent out updates for games and applications from the eShop. There are patches for Netflix, Pushmo, Super Mario Land, and Kirby’s Adventure as a 3D Classic. To check if any of your games or apps can be updated, go to the “Your Downloads” section in the eShop settings.
