Gamesta.com gets this week's European eShop downloads from Nintendo. The 3DS will finally receive a digital version of one of its launch titles, along with some other less notable titles, like an augmented cross ripoff between Pokemon and Invizimals and Ghostbusters.
Some game endings are good. Most are bad. And a few just sail out of the blue. One example of an unexpected game ending is the conclusion of Pilotwings for the SNES.
Written by Charlie Johnson - "Ahh, the world of augmented reality, or AR for short. With the power of roughly 3 old-school Cray super computers in the palm of your hand and a couple of cameras attached to it, AR games are fast becoming a popular thing to make. Spirit Hunters Inc: Light, and its companion game, Spirit Hunters Inc: Shadow, aim to give their best effort in making things pop out of thin air on your screens. Do they succeed or should they also vanish into thin air? Let’s jump in and find out."

Pollatsek co-founded United States based development studio Monster Games in 1996 which went onto working on Wii titles such as ExciteTruck and ExciteBike: World Rally. The studio was hired as an international partner in the development of PilotWings Resort, a launch title for Nintendo 3DS. One of Pollatsek’s hobbies included flying airplanes."
