Welcome back to Nintendo Download, your weekly update for all things Nintendo and downloadable. This time around, we have a quickie version of the excellent Clubhouse Games (seriously, I must have played 100 hours of this back in the fall of ‘06), a very intriguing-looking WiiWare platformer, and the fabled Nobunaga’s Ambition on the Virtual Console. As always, you can find the newest goodies on the DSi shop and the Wii Shop Channel, and Wii points can be purchased at a rate of 100=$1.
