Planet Crashers, Kirby's Pinball Land on 3DS eShop this week

Plus: Candle Route! Horizon Raiders! Theatrhythm DLC!

Adventure RPG Planet Crashers slams onto the 3DS eShop this Thursday, priced £9.99.

You'll be exploring rolling planetoids similar to Super Mario Galaxy, all dressed up in Animal Crossing-style graphics. There's fighting, looting, and heaps of customisation too.

This week's 3DS Virtual Console release is Kirby's Pinball Land. The 1993 Game Boy title costs £2.70.

Another four Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy tracks will be available to download for 90p each - Tower of the Magi (FF02 - FMS), The Darkness of Eternity (FF09 - BMS), Desperate Fight (FF12 - BMS) and Battle 1 (FF05 - BMS).

DSiWare platformer Candle Route (£1.80) and futuristic on-rails WiiWare shooter Horizon Riders (800 Points, about £5.60) round out the week's releases.
