New Nintendo eShop releases: Metroid, Donkey Kong, Mario 2, Star Wars Pinball, SMT4

Virtual Console is doing much of the heavy lifting on the Nintendo eShop this week, with three classics making their way to the service. The 3DS snags Super Mario Bros. 2, while the Wii U picks up Metroid and Donkey Kong. Beyond these, the only new release dropping today is Star Wars Pinball on Wii U.

Come July 16, you'll be able to dive into Shin Megami Tensei 4 on 3DS. Our review praised the RPG for its involving demon fusion system, noting that Shin Megami Tensei 4 is "a great entry point" for players new to the series. Keep in mind that if you register both Shin Megami Tensei 4 and Fire Emblem: Awakening with Club Nintendo by August 31, you'll pick up $30 in eShop credit.
