Swarms and swarms of respawning Marios, each of them trying to jump and stomp on each other. Sounds pretty fun, right? It's the kind of fan game that you'd think could inspire a legitimate release.
Fans of side scrolling action are truly spoiled for choice this week with a triplet of 2D platform titles available to download from Nintendo eShop and Nintendo DSi Shop. The Game Boy version of the NES classic Bionic Commando arrives on Nintendo eShop to take you on a daring action-packed mission.

Are you ready for the challenge?
