Nintendo Download Update – AiRace Xeno, sales, plenty of Pac-Man

Nintendo_eShop_logoBeing the E3 and all, it’s a bit of a weird week to release a huge batch of brand new games… which is why there aren’t really any in this Nintendo eShop update.

Pac-Man is available in not one, but two different Virtual Console releases this week alongside Double Dragon II: The Revenge and the creatively titled Soccer.

AiRace Xeno and Van Helsing sniper Zx100 are both new 3DS titles though.

Read on.
