Two versions of Tetris are being removed from 3ds e-shop in Europe

In a few days two different versions of Tetris will be removed from the Eureopean 3ds e-shop . The 2011 version of Tetris for 3DS ( Tetris Axis in the USA ) is the first game to be taken off the European 3ds e-shop come January 1st 2015.

The second version of Tetris being taken off the European 3DS e-shop is the 1989 game boy original (virtual console ) version of the game.

I'm not sure to why these games are being taken off the e-shop in Europe, or if this will apply to other 3DS e-shops across the globe too. So you have a few more days (rest of the year ) to pick up these games from e-shop if you want them. 

UPDATE: January 1st 2015

These games have also been removed from US e-shop

Japan 3DS gets Disney/Pixar's UP to purchase on e-shop

In the Japanese 3ds e-shop you can download a copy of the excellent Disney/Pixar movie UP. You can watch the movie in 3d on the 3ds screen , sadly this 2009 classic will cost you about $26. I love this movie and consider it a modern classic that is very touching and entertaining. I watched the movie in 3D when it released in theaters in 2009, and didn't find the use 3D at all memorable or interesting. Sadly the 3DS has a horrible history with displaying 3d video so I am not sure how it looks or if it's worth while. I have wanted to own 3D copies of movies to watch on my 3DS for years but I can't justify paying $26 for the 3ds version when you can the DVD / Blu Ray / digital copy on iTunes / Google play for significantly cheaper.
