After a few weeks of solid offerings, the 3DS seems to be taking a breather in this week’s Nintendo Download. Though it still has more offerings than the Wii U, we did get some offerings for Nintendo’s console this week. The most notable being that we get two new demos this week, one for ZombiU and one for NBA 2K13. We also get a new Virtual Console title in the form of WORLD HEROES 2 for the Neo Geo (900 points).
Meanwhile, the 3DS gets several additions to its eShop, including a digital version of the retail title Hello Kitty Picnic with Sanrio Friends ($29.99), Wild Adventures: Ultimate Deer Hunt ($3.99), 101 DinoPets 3D ($4.99), and Biorhythm for DSiWare ($1.99/200 points).
