Nintendo’s Sakura Samurai hits eShop this week. Looking good!

eShop just keeps getting better! I buy my share of titles from Apple’s place, but I find Nintendo’s shop currently ruling as far as delivering quality games that look great, hold my interest for longer than a bus ride, and actually–get this–control really well! On February 2, a very promising-looking action adventure arrives for your downloading consideration.

Sakura Samurai features fun, quirky character designs, swordplay that requires actual strategy, a cross-country quest, survival modes, a garden mini-game linked to the pedometer, dumplings, frogs, intrigue and weirdness. Can’t wait!

Actually, the game’s website had me hooked the moment I saw this feature:

Well, my Thursday evening’s now officially booked up. Anyone else going to give this eShop original a spin?

  1. I know, right?

    I've bought nearly bloody everything that's been a 3DS specific title on the eShop. Literally everything except for Zen Pinball, and that's just because I'm not a big fan of pinball sims. I prefer more over-the-top gamified versions, like the one in Kirby Mass Attack.

  2. I hope it comes out in Australia because it's been very dry since Pullblox last year. We haven't got Mutant Mudds or Pyramids yet. Sad face.

  3. I'm getting it…Man eShop is so awesome!
    Never thought I'd be saying that back in the Summer xD

  4. I have really been enjoying the eShop. So far I've picked up Freakyforms, Pushmo, and Mutant Mudds.
    They're all really high quality titles at very reasonable prices. Mutant Mudds in particular has really captured my heart!
    And I haven't even mentioned all the great VC classics I've downloaded. Never had a gameboy and am now discovering it had some really nice titles available.
    Great gameplay doesn't even require color!
