NintendoWare Weekly: Bit.Trip Void, Super Mario Kart, A Boy and His Blob

November 23rd, 2009 at 11:00am Under Wii / Nintendo

Nintendo celebrates Thanksgiving by dropping a massive feast onto the table of every Wii and DSi owner in North America. The next Bit.Trip game is now available on WiiWare, DSiWare receives another heaping serving of Electroplankton, and Virtual Console welcomes … Super Mario Kart. We guess when Nintendo said “by year’s end” it meant “next week.” See the full, seasonally appropriate bounty after the break.

NintendoWare Weekly: Excitebike World Rally, Electroplankton, Cybernoid, and more

November 9th, 2009 at 12:00pm Under Wii / Nintendo

It’s a very exciting day for Nintendo downloads, thanks to one very thrilling two-wheeler. But Excitebike World Rally is far from the only offering this week. In fact, there are multiple games available for WiiWare, Virtual Console, and DSiWare, which seems like a rare feat for Nintendo of America. Head past the break to see if any of the other new games excite you.

Electroplankton makes weird noises on Japanese DSiWare this week

July 6th, 2009 at 03:00pm Under DS

Nintendo continues to release bite-size portions of old DS games as DSiWare games, which may rankle some, but we think its latest broken-up DS game makes a lot of sense. The company plans to release Electroplankton in Japan as ten individual 200-point downloads, each consisting of one of the “plankton” instruments from the “game.”

This Wednesday, Tracy, Hanenbon, Nanocarp, and Beatnes will be available on Japan’s DSi Shop. On July 22, Rec Rec and Lumiloop will be released. Finally, in August, Sun Animalcule, Luminaria, Marine Snow, and Volvoice will be available.

This could be the perfect venue for creator Toshio Iwai to release future musical toys. Could Electroplankton continue this way, with new instruments being released periodically? It’s probably not wise to hope for anything that isn’t a segment of an existing game, but it’s possible!
