Nintendo Download Update – Steampunk Ninja Aquariums

Its a packed weekend for Nintendo Wii and DSi owners this week as WiiWare, Virtual Console and DSiWare all get a healthy boost of downloadable treats.

Virtual Console

Shadow of the Ninja (600 Points, NES) – A classic but difficult action NES game, this one is actually the US version and thus the slightly higher price despite the fact the game actually got a release here. If you liked Ninja Gaiden you will enjoy this one too.

WiiWare
Zenquaria: Virtual Aquarium (600 Points, Nintendo) – Stick your Mii into a fish tank and watch it drown mercifully. No not really but just a neat aquarium simulator with a little more to it than just being a fish tank on the screen.

Toribash (1000 Points, Nabi Studios) – An online focused fighter, on the Wii? Surely you jest?  There isnt many of them. You can even record and edit your own replays in the games replay editor. The game makes extensive use the motion controls.

DSiWare

Steamworld: Tower Defense (500 Points, Image & Form) – There are plenty of Tower Defence games on the DSiWare store but none that have a steam-punk flavour. With SteamWorld: Tower Defence, you take the role as the ’Sheriff of the Cowbots, the robotic master race of the Steam World’.

Crazy Golf (500 points, dtp entertainment) – A miniature golf game that lives up to the genre to a tee as the game takes place on top of a office desk. There are seven courses to play on with six holes on each.

2Puzzle It: Fantasy (500 Points, Neuland Multimedia) – A sliding puzzle game for the DSi, this one is a new one and not much is yet known about it. Why not download it and tell us how it is?

Hair Salon: Pocket Stylist (500 Points, 505 Games) – Another one that we have little information on, but we can tell you that you’ll be able to create your own hairstyles on an in game avatar or use the DSi camera to place them on your fine self.

16 shot! Shooting Watch (200 Points – Hudson) – Basically a game where you bash the A button to see how many times you hit it in a minute. This old school tool may have been useful in the old arcade days but its kind of pointless here. It’s 200 points if you want to practise your button mashing skills.
