Stretching the word "classic"

Europe gets its third 3D Classic this week, letting console owners indulge in a little three-dimensional fighting in the street. Elsewhere there's a bit of air traffic control, some Asian farming and extreme off-roading. Come with us, but look out for any manholes.

3DS eShop

3D Classics: Urban Champion (Nintendo, €5) — The NES brawler is given a new 3D look to bring it into the modern day. There's local multiplayer if you and a friend both purchase the game too. We'll take a swing at a review this week.

WiiWare

Flight Control (Firemint, 500pts) — The classic guiding-airplanes-in-to-land game makes it to WiiWare after years of circling the runway. After Flight Control DSiWare and Flight Control HD on PlayStation Move, will the WiiWare version be economy or first class? We'll see how it fares later this week.

DSiWare

Moto eXtreme (Chillingo, 800pts) — Motorcycle platforming doesn't sound like a brilliant merge of genres, but that's what you get with this two-stroke package. Read our Moto eXtreme review to see if it's eXcellent or eXcrement.

Reading comments from the @nintendolife reader survey. Genuinely touching to hear how much people appreciate our hard work.

Playing yet more Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Can't believe I once told @DamienMcFerran it was rubbish. It's the bee's knees!

Just saw a guy wearing trousers held up by string.
