NintendoWare Weekly: WiiWare demos, Pokemon Rumble, Indiana Jones’ Greatest Adventures

November 16th, 2009 at 12:30pm Under Wii / Nintendo

This week, we get our first taste of Nintendo’s new WiiWare demos. Surprisingly, it didn’t take Nintendo that long to flip the switch for North America, considering the company revealed the long-overdue feature — and day-one annoyance — only earlier this month. And on top of the free trial versions of select WiiWare titles (five total this week!), there are also two new Virtual Console titles to enjoy, as well as three new DSiWare games. Hit the break for the full list.

Microsoft’s latest inexplicable picks for the Arcade Hits collection

September 22nd, 2009 at 04:45pm Under Xbox 360

You remember the Arcade Hits collection, don’t you? It’s the selection of discounted XBLA titles offered by Microsoft. Ostensibly, these are titles that were popular enough that they can now be offered at a reduced price. Now, we have a task for you: We want you to think of three games that you think should be given the honor of becoming an Arcade Hit. Nope, it’s not that one. Not that one either. That one isn’t even close.

Nope, the three titles that have now entered the hallowed halls of the Arcade hits are Brain Challenge, 3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures and Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, all of which will be permanently knocked down to 400
($5) this Wednesday. That’s right, a Brain Age clone, a game you forgot even existed and a game that has already been remastered and made better in every way.
