Hey Gamertell readers. The weekly Nintendo Downloads update has been absent for a while. Did you miss it? Well, its back! This week, if you own a Wii, you can get into the Halloween spirit! Two of the four games released are guaranteed to get you in the holiday mood.… Continue Reading »

I know we’ve taken a bit of a hiatus on the Nintendo Download front, but fear not - we’re back and better than ever. Especially because today, one of the coolest, most badass (in the dorkiest way) games for the SNES came out. Yeah, I’m talking about Super Empire Strikes… Continue Reading »

Club Nintendo sent out an email today (July 14, 2009) announcing the free reward for Elite Status members. The rewards are based on status with Platinum members being able to choose from two rewards and Gold status members having only one choice… Continue Reading »

After a few rather anemic updates, this week’s Nintendo downloadable games are robust, meaty and… extremely eclectic. We’re looking at plenty of action titles (not the least of which is the Genesis’ Secret Command) and Konami’s own awesome-looking Ant Nation. If you’re into “Brain games”, DSiWare’s got Brain Challenge for… Continue Reading »

Can you say, “the dog days of summer”? This Nintendo download update is certainly on the sedate side, with 2 water-based titles on WiiWare (including a fishing game!) and Sudoku (yes, Sudoku!) on DSiWare. I’m interested in the sole VC release, Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa, and potentially… Continue Reading »

We’re entering summer 2009 with a rather bizarre mix of downloadable games. But on WiiWare/Virtual Console/DSiWare, that’s pretty much par for the course, no?

WiiWare is boasting a new Sega game,  fighting kitchen appliances and rainbow islands, DSiWare has your ripoff clock and calculator needs covered, and the excellent Arcade version of Space Harrier wraps up the pickings. Personally, I’m all for the toaster,… Continue Reading »

Yeah, the predictions aren’t something one would find whacked out on peyote while deeply gazing into a crystal ball. They are just real, most likely to happen guesses. Feel free to share your own last minute thoughts in the comments below or even to ridicule me later if none of… Continue Reading »

This week, we have plenty of new content across Nintendo’s various downloadable services - though my money’s on the Wii goodies today. On DsiWare, there’s a questionable photo application and a kid-targeted “interactive success story”, but on WiiWare we have promising updates of classic Bubble Bobble and Adventure Island, and… Continue Reading »

First of all, my apologies for being a little late to the party this week - but hey, we’ve finally gotten Majora’s Mask! It’s immediately all good. One of the very best 3D Zeldas, Majora’s Mask is the most innovative, darkest, and easily the toughest of Link’s post 16-bit adventures,… Continue Reading »
