Nintendo DLC: Gladiator's rage, Dracula is screwed photo

If you're looking to punch hit a minotaur in the face, kill a vampire, or raise dinos for battle, this is the week you've been waiting for, DSi and Wii owners.

WiiWare

  • Rage of the Gladiator (Ghostfire Games, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points)
  • Triple Shot Sports (The Code Monkeys Ltd., 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)

Virtual Console

DSiWare

If I didn't already own Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PlayStation Portable, I'd be all over Rondo of Blood. But I do, so I'm not. This week on my Wii I'll only be playing Rage of the Gladiator, which Ghostfire Games has provided me for review; I'm gonna kick some minotaur tail.

Anything catching your interest this week? Are you, like me, holding off on DSiWare releases until you upgrade to a DSi XL later this month?

Rage of the Gladiator looks to be promising. I'll wait for the reviews before I decide to get it.

Might as well hold off till the DS2 gets released this Holiday Season. (If rumors are to be believed)

I kinda of want to get Rondo of Blood on the VC. But I already own Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. I know the RoB port in the game isn't perfect, but it's good enough.

RichardBlaine: I would be I still have the first DS. SO i'll probably be getting the DSi XL at the end of the month.

Screw the DS2 I need a dsi xl. I'm sick and tired of my ds lite not wanting to connect to my WPA network. Screw WEP oh and the ds won't tether to my iPhone. So maybe now I will want to pay attention to the new dsiware in the future

Pretty sure if you are planning to play old DS games online they still won't be able to connect to WPA encrypted access points, even with the DSi.
Think only DSi developed games and maybe recent DS games will be able to access WPA encrypted access points.

That is true. Only DSi software is compatible with WPA and up.

FUCK YES RONDO OF BLOOD

Even if you own Dracula X Chronicles on PSP, consider getting this version. The emulation is VC-perfect (or should be), unlike the PSP's minor imperfections (like blurring, slight lag, and muffled sound).

So far, the emulation is spot on.

And anyway, you can never buy Rondo of Blood too many times. Every time I think I've appreciated the game as much as I ever will, I play it again, and it feels totally new. There is something about the game that makes you forget how many awesome little details it contains, so that when you replay it, it feels like the first time.

Yeah, I love that game.
