Nintendo’s house brand of “minimalistic mechanics” downloadables, the Art Style series, is growing its ranks with two new titles: Art Style: light trax and Art Style: Rotozoa, both for WiiWare. The games were present (and looking close to finished) at the Big N’s media gathering in San Francisco, and I took both for a spin — quite literally in one case. Catch my thoughts after the break.

Filed under: Wii News 

Nintendo had a few awesome new WiiWare announcements at its Nintendo Media Summit, most notably, Cave Story! Most notably in the field of games we didn’t know about, new Art Style games! The series hasn’t been on Wii since the DSi came out, but now we’ve got Light Trax (a Wii version of the original bit Generations game Dotstream) and Rotozoa (a game about multi-tentacled organisms absorbing creatures of the same color) to look forward to this spring.

Check out the trailer for Light Trax above, and see a trailer for Rotozoa, as well as screens of Max and the Magic Marker, WiiWare’s WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, Rage of the Gladiator, And Yet It Moves, Super Meat Boy, and Cave Story after the break. Oh, man, Cave Story!

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

November 16, 2009 by admin · Comment
Filed under: Wii News 

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.

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?

This week’s star of the show is undoubtedly WiiWare, which receives the very rare “three-title-update.” Playing second and third fiddle are DSiWare and the Virtual Console, which both get the usual one new title. So, without further ado, let’s check out what’s available to download this week across Nintendo platforms in the latest NintendoWare Weekly.

VC Friday: A ’sleeper’ Art Style game

Filed under: Wii News 

2b36c_somnium0529 VC Friday: A sleeper Art Style gameThis week, another new DSiWare Art Style game appears on the PAL DSi Shop — one that was overlooked upon its Japanese release, due mostly to the fact that it was released at the same time as the much more eye-catching PiCOPiCT. Somnium has been renamed NEMREM for Europe — still sleep-themed, but … weirder.

On the Wii side, the arcade version of Space Harrier is now available on Virtual Console, and the “arcade” fishing game Fish ‘em All has been added to WiiWare.
for WiiWare.

Virtual Console:

  • Space Harrier (Arcade, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)

This week, NintendoWare Weekly brings us the second-most requested title for the Virtual Console: Majora’s Mask. With its arrival today, that can only mean one thing: Earthbound is next! When is “next?” Well, yeah, that might be a problem …

VC/WiiWare Tuesday: Contra and more

May 12, 2009 by admin · Comment
Filed under: Wii News 

2935b_contra051109 VC/WiiWare Tuesday: Contra and moreToday’s Virtual Console and WiiWare offerings in Japan are shockingly good. So good that if a release week like this happened outside of Japan even once every six months or so, nobody would complain about Nintendo’s downloads. Even if we ignore the three WiiWare games that are already out in North America, it’s wall-to-wall quality.

Well, we’re kind of assuming that Contra Rebirth is quality. Even if it’s terrible, we know we’re in for a $10 download of an original Contra game when it shows up here. We know that the WiiWare Art Style games are fantastic, because we’ve been playing them since last year.

On Virtual Console, the PC Engine CD-ROM version of SimEarth and the arcade release of the brutal Tower of Druaga pale before Downtown Special, a Japan-only sequel to River City Ransom starring Kunio and friends as samurai.

Virtual Console:

4a20d_majorabox040309 VC Friday: Majoras Mask, DSiWare available in Europe right nowThis is probably the best day for downloads on Nintendo consoles in years. If you got a DSi today, you’ve probably already begun perusing the new DSi Shop and downloading some DSiWare, including the two Art Style games available! But even if you didn’t get a DSi, you’ll probably be happy with the downloadable selection this week. Well, that is, if you didn’t get a DSi and you have a Wii. If you’ve got neither, this might just irritate you.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask has arrived! And we don’t even have to make any disclaimers about making sure you have space to download it.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask — N64– 1,000 Points
Art Style: AQUITE — DSiWare — 500 Points
Art Style: CODE — DSiWare — 500 Points
Birds & Beans — DSiWare — 200 Points
DSi Browser — DSiWare — free!
Paper Plane – DSiWare — 200 Points
WarioWare Snapped! — DSiWare — 500 Points
