This week's Nintendo eShop update is here, and it's loaded with gaming goodness no matter what genre you're into.

As far as what we recommend, Ys VIII recently got reviewed and is surprisingly fun, even for those that may not be usually into that role-playing series. Aces also looks to be a sure bet with tennis fans; and, of course, Minecraft never gets old for some people.

But there are some good indie titles, too. Wizard Fire is a wondrous throwback to the old-school arcade gaming days; The Last Blade 2 is easily one of the best Neo-Geo brawlers out there; de Blob is a colorful entry from THQ's line-up; and Flashback reverts back to the classic style of the original game. 1917: The Alien Invasion DX is a fun little shooter as well, and we'll be posting our review for Lego The Incredibles very soon so you an see how it is!

Whatever you're into, clear some space on your memory card and prepare for awesomeness!
