The Wii U is getting something this week in the form of a game that was released on PC, Mac, Xbox Live Arcade, and the PlayStation Network last year -- Puddle. If you haven't tried the wonderful game The Cave yet, check out Conrad's review ...

Frogs are my favorite animal. Yep, that's what I'm choosing to focus on in today's issue of Nintendo Download, because this week is one of the weakest offerings yet, and it features tons of animal games. That's alright though, as you guys a...

It's kind of a "meh" week for Nintendo Download fans, but it's far from worthless. Unchained Blades (which came out last year on the PSP in Japan, and this year in the US) leads the way today as the big full retail release on the 3DS eShop,...

Mega Man 1 is finally hitting the 3DS Virtual Console, as is Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Outside of those two classics, Fluidity: Spin Cycle is ready to go for the 3DS eShop, as is Johnny Impossible and Mahjong 3D - Warriors of the ...

Things are kind of low key in this week's Nintendo Download, as there's a ton of old releases and some extremely dull new ones. On the 3DS, you can grab Wario Land 2, escapeVektor, New Super Mario Bros. 2 DLC, Mario Tennis Open, Pilotwings ...

Nintendo Download isn't looking bad this week, especially if you're a fan of Guild 01 and Chuck E. Cheese's. In the portable arena, you can pick up Crimson Shroud (3DS eShop), Art of Balance TOUCH! (3DS eShop), Ninja Gaiden (3DS VC), Garden...

Even if nothing on offer this week is truly remarkable, the sheer volume of content is impressive in this week's Nintendo Download. For the 3DS, you can pick up Scribblenauts Unlimited (3DS eShop), LEGO Lord of the Rings (3DS eShop), Harves...

Prepare to be disappointed this week if you have a Wii U -- the only offerings on the table are 3DS related, with no Wii U titles in sight. You can grab Aero Porter (eShop), Pac-Man (eShop VC), Invasion of the Alien Blobs! (DSiWare), and Bl...

Stay young. Or single. Getting hitched changes everything. Thanksgiving turns from a joyous occasion of mindless gorging to a tricky affair at best, with in-laws, planning, babies, and stress to deal with. I'm going to use the Wii U's GameP...

You like gnomes, right? Of course you do! When they're not creeping you out or stealing your underpants, I guess they can be alright. Well today you're getting your weekly dose of gnome-age, whether you like it or not, with 2 Fast 4 Gnomz o...

Nintendo Downloads are usually nothing to go bonkers over, but today, a number of you might be bouncing off the walls at a chance to buy these offerings. Firstly, if you don't own Cave Story four times already, you can pick up the latest ve...

The absolute highlight of this week is The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave (eShop, $9.99). In a move no one expected, a demo was released last week, and this wacky AR Japanese eShop game is now available in North America. You want a ...

18th Gate is a hex-based SRPG that boasts a decent amount of content for a DSiWare game. You can play as multiple heroes, trek through 18 areas, and encounter randomized enemies and traps. The game is currently approved by Nintend...

On August 19, New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be available to purchase both in brick-and-mortar stores and on the eShop. If you plan on downloading the game, I ask that you exercise extreme caution. Check for discounts of physical copies, beca...

I'm hijacking the Nintendo Download from Chris this week because, dammit, you are all in danger! Commando: Steel Disaster ($7.99 on DSi or 3DS) may look like a fairly inoffensive Metal Slug clone, but don't be fooled! I played this festeri...

There rarely comes a time when I can mention The Who, Pinball Quest, and Kirby in the same article, but today is that day my friends! Granted, my connections are tenuous at best, because the only real pinball related thing today is the rele...

This week's Nintendo download content is bursting at the seams with things that you may or may not actually want. For example, there's some retro goodness à la old school Rayman astride this week's obligatory insipid puzzler Kakuro b...

As much as this might sound like an odd week for downloadable games on Nintendo platforms, it's actually on par with the same mishmash of content we're regularly given. I want to believe that someone is literally drawing names out of a hat ...

Whoa! Slow down, Renegade Kid! Mutant Mudds is doing gangbusters on the eShop, your next eShop game about a monkey that throws bombs is on the way, you're inviting fans to pitch yet another eShop game via a summer-long contest, and now, Mut...

Nintendo is officially in full Kid Icarus: Uprising mode! The Kid Icarus anime shorts kick off this week, starting with "Thanatos Rising" by Production I.G. This roughly eight-and-a-half-minute CGI cartoon is split across three parts, all a...

A few more games have graced the 3DS eShop today, including Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream ($4.99), which should be a good indicator of how well you remember patterns from games you were obsessively into many years ago. And keeping with th...

Community member Rammstein brought to my attention recently that the anniversary edition of Four Swords on the DSi's DSiWare and 3DS' eShop will be disappearing soon -- on February 20, 2012 to be exact. I had completely forgotten about the ...

This week's digital releases on Nintendo platforms aren't particularly thrilling, but it was only a matter of time considering the handful of noteworthy games to come out recently. WiiWare leads the pack with the fashionably late BurgerTime...

Here is a sugary-sweet game that quietly slid under the door. Released on January 19 in the States and arriving on February 9 in Europe, Gaia's Moon is an auto-scrolling flight game for DSiWare. That's right! I can't believe DSiWare conten...

The eShop is keeping up its momentum with another very promising game, Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword ($6.99). You might know it by a slightly different name, but it should look familiar. I'll be blind buying it the second I can break awa...
