What? You heard this one already? That’s doubtful considering this is one of the stranger assortments of games to have appeared on the eShop in a while.
The headline game this week is Speed X 3D, a futuristic racer where you careen through the deepest recesses of the final frontier, all while speeding along a techno, Tron-like racetrack. It looks kinda neat and I dig the trippy visuals- even with the not-so-great obstacle pop-in.
Also this week, the demo for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is up and ready to rock. Get a taste for a game that we simply adore here at Digitally Downloaded and is scoring all kinds of love from both critics and players.
Finally, aside from a music video and a few toss-aways for the 3DS and DSi, we’ve got Toki Tori (GBC). Admittedly, I’ve never had the pleasure of playing (much less ever hearing of) Toki Tori, but I have to say I’m intrigued.
This GameBoy Colour classic sees you cast as a small, yellow… chicken. You’re goal is to survive a bunch of monsters in what looks like a haunted castle while collecting your missing eggs. It’s just… yeah. Might have to play this one.

I've never played Toki Tori, so that seems like an obvious must-have game for me this week.
