A pair of Nintendo-published 3DS games are now up for pre-load on the North American 3DS eShop: Hey! Pikmin and Miitopia. Both launch on July 28.

Pre-loading lets users buy games digitally in advance and download most of the game data ahead of time. Then on launch day, just a small update is needed to begin playing.

Hey! Pikmin takes up 3,230 blocks of space (403.75MB). Miitopia is 6,866 blocks (858.25MB).

Nintendo has reason to believe that Cave Story+ will be available in Europe next week. The eShop is currently listing the game for a July 20 release.

It goes without saying, but this news should be taken with a grain of salt. eShop listings haven’t always been correct, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the European date for Cave Story+ ends up being inaccurate. Either that, or the digital version of Cave Story+ will be heading to Europe well before the physical release.
