Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - 3D Gunstar Heroes

For the month before the 3DS and Wii U eShops close for new purchases on 27th March, each day we're going to highlight a specific eShop game for one of those consoles and give a short pitch as to why we think it deserves your love and attention — before it's too late. The chance to add these to your library will be gone for good soon and, for one reason or another, these eShop-exclusives are close to our hearts.

Today, Alana nominates 3D Gunstar Heroes, a 3DS-specific re-release of Treasure's seminal run-and-gun shooter from the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.

So, what's it called again?

3D Gunstar Heroes, a port of the original Gunstar Heroes from 1993.
