First things first: Don't listen to Nintendo. While The Big N's official site lists the 3D Classics version of Kirby's Adventure as $5.99, the 3DS eShop lists the price as $6.99. Now that we've got that out of the way, yes, the latest NES title to receive a 3D overhaul is everyone's favorite monster-sucking pink puffball's very first console outing.
The only title in the 3D Classics series I've downloaded is Excitebike, owed largely to the fact that it was free. However, I'm not sure I'm going to throw down the $7 necessary to download Kirby's Adventure again. I've already paid for it enough, as far as I'm concerned. But if you've never controlled Kirby through his first adventure on the NES, you owe it to yourself to do so. If you have a Wii that's been collecting dust, you can save a couple of bucks by downloading it there. Either way, it's timeless. Click past the jump for the 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure trailer and the rest of this week's Nintendo downloadable titles.
