Well, the 3DS had a good run. Of all the NES games to spend time and money remaking in 3D, Nintendo has chosen its worst first-party game as the third 3D Classics release. That's right,
Urban Champion follows
Excitebike and
Xevious in the 3D Classics line, coming to the eShop in Japan July 13, for ¥600 ($7.40).
The 3D perspective change effect actually looks really cool, and there's local wireless multiplayer -- two new aspects that temporarily distract from the crumminess of Nintendo's 1984 fighter.
The same day, an unaltered retro game will also come to 3DS in Japan via Virtual Console:
Adventure Island 2.
