Kitten out your 3DS.

A trial version of cuddly virtual pet game Nintendogs + Cats will be available to download from the 3DS eShop this Thursday, Nintendo has announced.

The demo contains a free litter of felines to make friends with and scare with the vacuum cleaner.

There are also two new games downloadable on DSiWare. The first is 3 Heroes Crystal Soul, a puzzle game with RPG features.

The second is Box Pusher, a 3D block puzzler with multiplayer options.

Both are available for £4.50/€5 or 500 DSiWare Points.

Finally on WiiWare, Newton vs. The Horde, a physics-based tower defense title where you must use scientific contraptions to save scientists from waves of undead.

The Saturdays play Nintendogs + Cats.
