Wii-kly updates are no more, say hello to Nintendo Download

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 4 Comments

Frequent users of the Wii Shop Channel have come to know and love the “Wii-kly update” – a press release issued by Nintendo every Monday describing new WiiWare and Virtual Console titles that become available on a particular week. Due to the launch of the DSi and Virtual Console Arcade, however, the “Nintendo Download” report will be replacing the “Wii-kly update.” This isn’t a huge deal aside from the name change, but Wii and DSi owners can now expect DSiWare and Virtual Console Arcade titles to be included in the new press releases beginning on April 6.
