I could on about all the games that came out over the last … month… like You Me and the Cubes, Final Fantasy, ARKANOID Plus, and other fine (and not so fine) titles. But all you need to know is that Altered Beast was released… again? That’s right Altered Beast is so awesome they released it twice.
Seriously though there are some sweet titles released recently, check out the list inside.

Man, did you see that the Nintendo Channel updated? Unfortunately I can’t get my Wii on the net to check it out since I’m not home. But that doesn’t stop me from providing this week’s digital downloads.
For WiiWare we’ve got three games. Texas Hold’Em Poker, Spaceball: Revolution, and Mart Racer. Of those three I like Spaceball: Revolution the best.
For DSiWare there’s two new titles. Art Academy: First Semester, which is a pretty cool idea, and Oscar in Toyland, which melts my brain with molten sugar graphics.
And finalyl on the VC we’ve got… Crash ‘N The Boys Street Challenge? What system was this on? NES? Strange… I’ve never heard of it.
Full details inside.

I vanished for a couple weeks again! Due to this, and a good dash of laziness, I missed a couple digital download updates. So here they are in one large SUPER MEGA update!
How about I just point out the outstanding releases of the past 3 weeks.
First off let me point out that CONTRA REBIRTH came out today. Hell, yes. I am so getting that. Also the second episode of Monkey Island showed up. so that’s cool.
The VC side of things is pretty nice as well. The classic SNES Star Wars games continue to roll out with Super Return of the Jedi and Super The Empire Strikes Back. Those games too new for you? Well what about Phantasy Star? Because he’s here as well.
DSiWare’s biggest thing lately is Flipnote Studio, which is still awesome and available for free. The Brain Age and Club House releases continue to trickle out and Puzzle League Express came along with them.
It actually hasn’t been too bad the last couple weeks it seems. But nothing compares to Contra Rebirth showing up today. So awesome. Also the Internet Browser updated. The main change seems to be Flash has finally been upgraded. I tested a couple sites I knew didn’t work like GameTrailers on it and it ran just fine while YouTube seemed to run even better.
Many more titles inside!

Want to see some things made with Flipnote? All the animations can be uploaded to the website for viewing on the PC or DS at www.Flipnote.Hatena.com
This week looks pretty awesome in terms of downloadable games.
For WiiWare we’ve got NyxQuest, a 2D platform adventure game, and … HAHAHAHA Rock N’ Roll Climber, heck yeah!
This week also kicks off a series of Star Wars games coming to the VC, and this week it’s Super Star Wars on the SNES. There will also be Star Wars character Mii contests in the Check Mii Out channel.
Then on DSiWare the next little portion of Brain Age shows up with Brain Age: Arts & Letters.
More information inside.

For WiiWare we’ve got Overturn, and fighting game of sorts that has the option to be played with the balance board, and Sexy Poker? Really? And it’s $5?
Then over the VC the classic football game Tecmo Bowl bursts onto the field with a really fun looking DSiWare game walking behind it called Art Style: precipice, a game in which blocks fall from the sky… AND TRY TO KILL YOU.
This is just bizzare. When did Nintendo decide to allow an application like strip poker? On a side note later today DSi owners will apparently get the ability to directly upload photos to facebook from the DSi. No dropping to an SD card required. So yeah, after all the effort to try to protect my innocent soul from the bad men on the internet Nintendo goes ahead and let me directly upload photos of various parts of my body (like my face obviously) to the internets. Ironically last time I checked Facebook doesn’t work worth a damn on the DSi internet browser. So yeah. Today is bizzaro day, and in celebration have some Reggie stare.
Let’s just run down through these names here. First up is WiiWare. We’ve got FFCC: My Life as a Darklord, Battle Poker, 5 Spots Party, Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1, The Three Musketeers: One for All, and HB Arcade Cards. Whew.
Now on the VC side of things there’s…. wait…. no VC games? Ugh. Look I know you may think that the VC may not be making as much money as you’d like, and that may be true, but it would help if the selection was better. And while I’m at it I might as say that it would help for me personally if there were some sort assurance that when the next hardware cycle comes around that I’ll be able to transfer my games over to it. DSi for example. Otherwise the service has lost it’s major advantage of physically just buying these games.
Ok now for DSiWare we’re got two titles. Art Style: ZENGAGE (heh, reminds me of N-Gage) and Sudoku Student.
As always! Full details inside.

So when it came out I downloaded the Mario Calculator for DSi. I know, it’s just a calculator and it costs $2, but you know what? I did it anyway because the draw of crispy 8-bit visuals is just too much for me (it does unit conversions as well you know!). But anway, I was calculating the number of cats one would have to jump over in order to blow your mind when all of the sudden…
Really I should have thought of this earlier since it’s so similar to another sort of easter egg from the Super Mario Bros on the NES.
This also works for the Animal Crossing version of the calculator (with a different result). I’m asking a friend to take a video of that one.
The instructions on how to do this are inside if you can’t figure it out from the video.

WiiWare is picking up recently. There’s some nice stuff on the service now, and lot’s of “!”’s. This week there’s Bit Boy!!, Incoming!, and Ant Nation (no !). They all look solid.
On the VC front it’s Sega week with Secret Command from the Master System and Pulseman from the Genesis.
Then on brand new DSiWare there’s a Brain Challenge from Gameloft.
More details inside.
