NintendoWare Weekly: Tales of Monkey Island, Bookworm, The Combatribes

November 30th, 2009 at 01:00pm Under Wii / Nintendo

If you thought last week’s NintendoWare Weekly update was huge, well … you’ll probably think the same thing about this week’s update! That’s mostly because Nintendo provides quite the overweight offering this time, with a total of ten new titles available for your post-Thanksgiving download. Loosen that belt and make some room for more by heading past the break for the full list of this week’s releases.

VC in Brief: Rygar (Arcade)

October 19th, 2009 at 06:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Rygar (Arcade, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points)
Rygar is a pretty intense title. Luckily, the quarter-munching gameplay of the arcade classic translates to the Wii very well. For one, you don’t need to run out of quarters from dying — oh, and you will die, believe it. Second, every time you die or even continue once you’ve run out of lives, you pick up right from where you left off. So, there’s no replaying stages or sections of the game you’ve previously played as a result of dying. Have we mentioned how much you’ll die?

You will die. A lot.

Every week, we like to check out what’s new on the Virtual Console. We offer these videos as a sort of taste to help you decide whether or not you would want the game in question. We also toss in our own two cents because we’re pushy jerks like that.

Japanese Nintendo Downloads: Goemon is a hot-blooded man of Edo

September 22nd, 2009 at 03:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

First of all, it’s a holiday in Japan this week, so there are no new games for September 22. However, since we failed to update you guys on the releases for September 15, we figured we should probably do that. Sorry for the delay!

Despite the lack of releases this week, we think most Japanese gamers are happy because they totally get to play some Ganbare Goemon. Known in The States as Legend of the Mystical Ninja, the series has had a long affair with Japanese gamers — which now continues on the Virtual Console!

Ganbare Goemon 3 (Super Famicom, 1 -2 players, 800 Wii Points)
Dragon Saber (VC Arcade, 1 – 2 players, 800 Wii Points)
Dragon Buster (VC Arcade, 1 – 2 players, 800 Wii Points)

NintendoWare Weekly: Overturn, Sexy Poker, Tecmo Bowl

August 3rd, 2009 at 03:30pm Under DS

This week is a special one for Nintendo fans. Not only do we finally see an end to the Virtual Console drought, but we also get fighting robots and a new Art Style game. Oh, and then there’s Sexy Poker, Gameloft’s odd strip poker game for WiiWare. We guess the company never heard of Google image search?
