It's rare for Nintendo to give us advance notice of downloadable games, but the company has done so for some new 3DS eShop content. Metroid II: Return of Samus will arrive on the eShop in both North America and Europe this Thursday.
Nintendo also announced a North American release of Nimble Sakura Samurai(above), the Punch-Out!!-resembling eShop action game shown off last month in its Nintendo Direct presentation. The American version will be called Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword, and is due in January. Nintendo also reminded us of the December release of puzzler Pushmo.
