There’s a large assortment of downloadable games available today for Wii and DSi owners. There are three new WiiWare games, two Virtual Console classics and three DSiWare games. Not too bad. Most of the games released seem geared towards younger gamers though. All three WiiWare games, “Aha! I Got It!”… Continue Reading »

Square Enix has once again shown that it is ready and willing to port its mobile games to handhelds and consoles. The latest example is Kuni Yaburete Sanga Ari, also known as Hills and Rivers Remain. Previously, it was only available on cell phones, the iPhone and the iPod Touch.… Continue Reading »

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 »

It’s a particularly retro-fantastic week on Nintendo’s downloadable game services, with more toy-based titles and neon colors than you can shake an arcade joystick at. Since Nintendo opted not to put out its usual press release (usually with some inane attempt to eke out a “theme” from a disparate collection… 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 »

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 »

The smart money is on the funky sounding new puzzler from YUKES (NEVES Plus) and potentially the new Art Style game, though if you’re really dying… Continue Reading »

It’s another insanely eclectic week on Nintendo’s downloadable game services. 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 »

Nintendo has ruled the handheld market for quit a while, producing two of the best-selling systems ever. With the DSi, the GameBoy is entirely forgotten, at least in physical form, as the GBA cart slot is removed and has been replaced with a much more modern (and potentially useful) SD/SD-HC… Continue Reading »

What do soccer, pirates and Galaxy Force have in common? Absolutely nothing, save for their appearances on this week’s Nintendo downloadable game services. Yeah, there are sometimes I wish Ninty would have some sort of theme or order, but I suppose that would just be no fun. In any event,… Continue Reading »
