This week’s 3DS eShop Update features a small selection of new 3DS download software and DSiWare titles. The highlight is Pokédex 3D Pro – a reference library of sorts that can be used by Pokémon fans to enhance their knowledge and gameplay strategies. Also new this week is Cake Ninja 2 – a sequel to the original slice-and-dice title that drew clear inspiration from Fruit Ninja. The final new release is a boarding-based game called Rising Board 3D. With eight different boards to collect and customise, and visuals that move along at a swift sixty frames per second, you really can’t go wrong with this budget-priced title.

Here’s this week’s 3DS eShop line-up in full:
