As eShop enthusiasts well know, every Thursday brings a set of new downloads for your gaming pleasure. We got a handful of genuinely good titles this month - so let's start with today's eShop releases and work our way backwards.

Today we got the 3DSWare title ARC STYLE: Soccer 3D, which lets you customize your team's features and uniforms as well as play online with friends. The game goes for $6.99. You can also download a demo for the retro-styled Mutant Mudds (check out my full review of Mutant Mudds here if you missed it).

Last week we got the fun rhythm/hack-and-slash 3D game Zombie Slayer Diox, which sells for $5.99, and the week before that we got a triple helping of Game Gear titles - Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble ($4.99), Shinobi ($3.99), and Dragon Crystal ($2.99). Especially if you missed out on them when they first came out, these Game Gear classics are must-buys.

The weeks preceding brought us a really great 3D golf game with a funny name - Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH! ($4.99). If golf isn't your game, NES classics Metroid and Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (both going for $4.99) also made their way to the 3DS eShop earlier in the month.

Which of these games did you download? Which are you planning to? Sound off on these titles in the comments below!
