With the shutdown of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in May, games that previously carried the WFC logo appear to be getting a reprint. This will remove any indication of the once available functionality as well as a modified ESRB rating logo to reflect the lack of online.

Now’s the time to purchase Elite Beat Agents if you haven’t already done so. At the moment, Amazon has the game available for $5.88. Copies will ship in 2-3 weeks, but you really should consider buying Elite Beat Agents for this price.


If you’ve been keeping up with the indie scene over the past few years, then the name “Bob’s Game” should sound familiar. Creator Robert Pelloni hoped to bring the game to the DS as an indie developer, but was ultimately rejected by Nintendo. Pelloni ended up holding a “protest”, took his campaign to Nintendo World, and things ultimately got out of hand before dying down.

Here we are a few years later… and Bob’s Game has returned. Pelloni has created a $10,000 Kickstarter campaign that even includes a Wii U and 3DS stretch goal ($75,000).

Little Orbit is teaming up with Disney Interactive to bring two new titles to Nintendo platforms.

Planes: Fire & Rescue is due out this fall while a Violetta video game based on the tween telenovela, Violetta, from Disney Channel will launch in late summer. Both titles will be available on Wii, 3DS, and DS.

Planes: Fire & Rescue is releasing in North America, Europe, and Australasia. Little Orbit intends to bring the Violetta game to Europe and Australasia, and South America.

Overviews of both games are as follows:

Planes: Fire & Rescue will extend the storyline of the film, taking fun to the skies with action-packed fire-fighting. Players can embark on adventures with all their favourite characters from the movie.

Violetta will take players on an all-star experience as they experiment with music and rhythm and to become a star performer. Players will collect points to unlock costumes, art and more to customize their musical experience.

Yet another Pokemon game soundtrack is available on iTunes. As of today, fans can download the Pokemon Black & Pokemon White: Super Music Collection.

The soundtrack offers music composed by Junichi Masuda, Shota Kageyama, Hitomi Sat?, G? Ichinose, Morikazu Aoki, Minako Adachi, and Satoshi Nohara. It’s arranged by Shota Kageyama, Hitomi Sat?, G? Ichinose, and Minako Adachi.

There are a number of Wii and DS games that offer free downloadable content. For instance, players can download a bunch of additional puzzles for Picross 3D and Professor Layton at no extra costs.

If this DLC interests you, you’ll need to grab it before the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection closes on May 20. While paid DLC will still be accessible, free content will be good for good.

A Nintendo representative told NintendoWorldReport:

“The bonus Layton puzzles and such will no longer be available. So you need to get them before the service shuts down. Paid stuff will still be available, though (Wii Shop Channel, etc.).”
