Nintendo DLC: 500th downloadable Wii game hits this week photo

We've been updating you weekly on the Nintendo DLC releases for a long time now, but I didn't realize that the Wii has already seen 500 downloadable releases. It's official this week. Hats off to Nintendo for continuing to bring out content for gamers.

The original Super Smash Bros from the N64 makes it onto the shop this week for 1,000 Wii Points. I don't know how well it has aged, though. The Arcade version of Ninja Gaiden (600 points) has probably aged better.

As for WiiWare, Eco Shooter: Plant 530 (1,000 Wii points) lets you save the world with a "recycle cannon," while Pallurikio brings some puzzle action for the same price. TV Show King 2 (800 points) lets you get your quiz on, and Happy Holidays Christmas lets you make holiday e-cards for friends.

Hot and Cold: A 3D Hidden Object Adventure is seriously a thing for DSiWare. Classics UNO and Dragon's Lair (both 800 Wii Points) are more my speed. High Stakes: Texas Hold ' Em comes out for you gamblers. Lastly, myNotebook: Green comes from a publisher with the best name ever: Nnooo.

It is literally half the game The new one is. Half the characters and levels. Why go backwards? Maybe if it was a little cheaper. I mean 10 fuckin' bucks!?!?

@Lakai: You're talking about Super Smash Bros?
I...think you're missing the point. I still play the original more often than I play Brawl.

A lot of the levels aren't in Brawl or Melee, though. And characters play differently. And it's still cheaper than the other games. But yeah, Melee pretty much outclassed the first game, though Board The Platforms was MIA.

Still, some people just prefer the feel. It is a bit different. Pikachu, for instance, is a beast.

I still find the Super Smash Bros to be fun, but I don't think it's worth gettin it though, since Brawl is just the same game but much bigger and better.

My friends and I still play Super Smash Bros. at least once a week. Maybe I'll have to retire that old N64 soon... (those controllers are a mess now)

This game has aged well. Me and my friends still play it regularly, even though we play the shit out of Brawl, and when I've gone to Brawl tournaments, there is always a SSB tournament as well.

This game plays quite differently, it's a lot less hectic, so it's somewhat "technical" we could say. Also, I PREFER THE HIT SOUND EFFECTS OF THIS A THOUSAND TIMES OVER MELEE/BRAWL.

Realistic punch sounds don't cut it for me. Give me that weird plastic sound.

I agree that Melee is the best SSB game, although the original is still a blast with friends.

Oh Smash, too much fun. Certainly better than those annoying ones that came later with all the extra noise and items. I'd get this but I don't really need it anymore.

Wow is this really the original artwork for the box? Despite owning the game I no longer have said box and I only remember Mario. Link's face, Fox BIFFing Samus. I love this.

I might have to get SSB just for nostalgia. Because despite owning it on N64, there's no way I'm dragging that monstrosity out just to play games at "glorious" 240i resolution upscaled to 1080i on my HDTV.

SSB has not aged well at all, especially when compared to it's descendants. Why anyone would choose this over Melee is beyond me.

All I want for download is Rare's 'Blast Corps'.

You know, the one where you have to clear a path for a truck carrying a nuke using whatever vehicles the levels gave you.

Hope its out before the 600th milestone.

It needed repeating. Blast Corps was great.

Ah, Smash 64. Good times on that one. Already bought it and got my boy Ness unlocked. This kid is an absolute beast here. His later forms are mere shadows in comparison.

What took them so long? Did they really have to wait for a milestone to release Smash Bros.?

Eco Shooter sounded cool until I saw it in action.
