New Nintendo eShop releases: Mighty Bomb Jack, Life Force

So, two Virtual Console games this week. Careful Nintendo, you might pull something.

We saw classic shoot-em-up Gradius hit the eShop earlier this month, and following it up this week is spin-off Salamander, or Life Force as it's known in our part of the world. That's on the 3DS, while the Wii U gets explosive-hungry NES-former Mighty Bomb Jack.

That's it, except for sales: Shin Megami Tensei 4 is down to $30 between January 27 and February 3, while you have until February 6 to grab Fractured Soul for $6.

Wii U

• Mighty Bomb Jack (Tecmo Koei, 1 player, $4.99)

3DS

• Life Force (Konami, 2 players simultaneous, $4.99)
