This is one of the best Mondays to happen since I started doing the Nintendo Downloads update. Seriously! Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom is a Virtual Console game now! I can not believe it! I think I’m going to have to go against my rule of not buying Virtual Console games I already own for this one!

What else has been added to the Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop? Oh, right, there were other games added too. Four new WiiWare games and five new DSiWare games have also been added this week, among them the anticipated and slightly weird Tomena Sanner (WiiWare), as well as Blaster Master Overdrive (WiiWare).

Gamertell’s Nintendo Download picks for the week are Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom (Virtual Console), Tomena Sanner (WiiWare), Blaster Master Overdrive (WiiWare) and Link ‘n’ Launch (DSiWare).
