Considering I’m writing this on a holiday, the Nintendo downloadable game situation could have looked worse. But in fact, it’s not that bad at all.
For one,X-Scape— a 3D space tank title developed by Q-Games (PixelJunkseries) — hits DSiWare. WiiWare also gets two games that might look familiar from their Xbox LIVE releases,Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of HexandVoodoo Dice.
We also see a return of Virtual Console updates with Natsume’s Super NES classic,Wild Guns. If you thoughtRed Dead Redemptionwas nuts, I’ve got one word for you: robots.
WiiWare
Virtual Console
I should also note that it’s nice to finally seeRobocalypse: Beaver Defensefinally hit WiiWare. I was a big fan of the overlooked Nintendo DS title — loved the character design — so I’d be interested in seeing how it translates to tower defense.
