Confetti and noisemakers are essential to any New Year’s Eve bash, but don’t forget to stock up on new downloadable games that’ll keep the fun going as the clock hits midnight. The WiiWareâ„¢ service welcomes chick chick BOOM, an irreverent action game involving everything from UFOs to corncobs. Wiiâ„¢ owners can also download a demo version of the award-winning game Max & the Magic Marker for zero Wii Pointsâ„¢. For fans of classic console action, two games from the NEOGEO era are available on the Virtual Consoleâ„¢ service: FIGHTER’S HISTORY DYNAMITE and MAGICAL DROP III. And for Nintendo DSiâ„¢ users, G.G Series Z•ONE and DodoGo! Challenge bring new shooting thrills and egg-saving puzzle action to the Nintendo DSiWareâ„¢ service. Pop the cork on these great games and ring in the New Year with a smile.


A rumor popped up over the weekend that Pokemon Black/White would be launching in North America on April 17th. This is not the case, however, as the game is actually launching about a month earlier. Pokemon fans will be able to pick up the new games on March 6. I have a feeling that this will be just a bit before the 3DS release date… Be sure to check out a round of English screenshots here and the boxart here.

Upcoming Nintendo DS Games Introduce More than 150 Never-Before-Seen Pokémon and a New Region to Explore

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo of America today announced that the Pokémonâ„¢ Black Version and Pokémon White Version video games will launch in North America on March 6, 2011. The games, playable exclusively on the Nintendo DSâ„¢ family of systems, are a completely new adventure that Pokémon fans old and new can embark on. Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version introduce more than 150 new Pokémon and a new region to explore.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version feature new Pokémon that players can catch, train and battle as they progress through the game, and some Pokémon can only be caught in one version of the game. For example, the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram™ can only be caught in Pokémon Black Version, while the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom™ can only be caught in Pokémon White Version. Additionally, the two games feature different areas for the first time in the series, with the game world of Pokémon Black Version featuring a unique metropolitan area called Black City, and a lush, green area named White Forest only found in Pokémon White Version. Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version also mark the first time in a Pokémon video game that the seasons will change in the game world. Certain Pokémon appear more frequently during different seasons, and players can only access some areas during a specific season.

You know, this actually looks pretty impressive for the DS. It might be ignored, though, as its release date is close to the 3DS’ launch.
