3 titles releasing this week, with the most interesting being Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword on the 3DS eShop. I haven’t picked it up yet as I’m just now finishing up Mutant Mudds (Review incoming), but it’s probably the next eShop title I’ll be buying. Aside from that it looks like a generic zombie game and more Carmen Sandiego Math. So I’d stick with slicing things up if I were you.
