Nintendo Download Update: Wario Is Displeased

We get half the downloads of our Euro cousins this week

The farce continues as we get a full 50% less updates this week, hooray for our beloved Classification Board. It’s not all bad though as we’ll most likely get WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase at a later stage, you know, like when we get the game.

Wii owners are struck with one Virtual Console title this week as WiiWare lovers go begging. The new Neo Geo library goes plus one with the release of The King of Fighters ’95. You can expand your fighting game library on the Wii for a mere 900 Points.

DSi owners, though, get three new titles. EA brings its popular mobile and iPhone game Surviving High School to the DSi. It’s a text adventure slash dating game for teenagers which centres around all the drama that is high school. Why anyone would want to go back there is beyond me, but who am I to judge? Surviving High School is 800 Points. VT Tennis is the second game for this week, and a kind of de-badging of Rafa Nadal Tennis. Unfortunately it brings its complicated control scheme with it. For 500 Points it might be worth it to try out but there are better tennis games out there. Last but not least is DodoGo! (800 Points), a very competent Lemmings or Mario vs. Donkey Kong clone that replaces Lemmings/Mario with dodo eggs. It’s actually pretty good, so pick it up and support the small developers who actually have the balls (or eggs) to release something here in Australia.

So apart from the previously mentioned WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase which we will get eventually, we miss out on 5 Arcade Gems for WiiWare, plus Save the Turtles and Simply Solitaire for DSiWare.
