Our Take: "It's a shame that this round of DLC has to end, but two more Chrono Trigger songs and two free songs make a great note to go out on" - Donald Theriault

Parties, Toys, Whips Headline The European Downloads

The biggest release on the eShops in Europe this week is Mario Party 10, releasing on Friday in both Europe and North America on Wii U. Be sure to read our review before you commit to dropping €39.99 / £34.99 on it.

The Wii U and 3DS will also get Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars for €19.99 / £17.99 with crossbuy intact, while Wii U owners who aren't down with the plumber can pick up Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow for €6.99 / £6.29. On the 3DS end, beloved eShop platformer Mutant Mudds is roughly half off (€4.49 / £4.00) from Thursday through April 2.

Our Take: "I'll pass on the Party, but the Mudds sale is a steal." - Donald Theriault

Love Plus Producer, Designer Leave Konami

In separate statements on their Twitter feeds, longtime Konami producer Akari Uchida and Love Plus character designer Mino Taro both confirmed that they have left Konami as of March 15.

In tweets translated by Gematsu, Uchida said "To those of you who have loved and enjoyed the games I’ve worked on and are looking forward to what’s coming up, I apologize for worrying you all." Taro later confirmed that he would continue his work under a new pen name.

Combined, the two Love Plus games for DS and 3DS sold over a half million copies in Japan. Take a look at the 3DS version below:

Our Take: "Uchida is an especially big loss for Konami, as he was one of the key designers behind the Tokimeki Memorial series - his departure really solidifies Konami's contraction of releases." - Donald Theriault
