In a turn from previous weeks, Nintendo has finally released a new Virtual Console game. In fact, it is an import of Ufouria: The Saga (known in Japan as Hebereke).

On the handheld side, four new DSiWare titles arrive today — Rytmik (a music-making app), G.G Series NINJA KARAKURI DEN (a beat-em-up platformer), My Farm (a farming sim), and Absolute Reversi (aka Othello).

Yet again, Nintendo has placed Virtual Console games on hold in order to give us more new games. This week, it looks like they are trying to empty the library of back-logged games.

For DSiWare, four new games/apps are coming — Divergent Shift (aka Reflection), 3D Mahjong, myNotebook: Carbon, and Just SING! National Anthems.

Until then, check out ..read the full article

With a total of six games, two on WiiWare and four on DSiWare, it seems Nintendo has taken a break for the summer.

I know you all are excited for the latter of the two! For DSiWare, we get TURN: The Lost Artifact, Rhythm Core Alpha, Absolute Chess, and Did It Myself ABC123. Turn and Rhythm Core Alpha sound descent enough, but where are the big titles? Maybe they ..read the full article

With just a few weeks of summer left before kids rush back to school, it seems Nintendo has almost taken a break themselves. This week’s Nintendo Download, while eclectic, is also quite odd.

For DSiWare, we get 4 games — Match Up!, BlayzBloo: Super Melee Action Battle Royale, Hints Hunter, and Petz Dogz Family. With only 7 new downloadable games this week, it does make you wonder if ..read the full article
