Nintendo Download: Nintendo Offers a Flurry of Downloadable Fun for the Holidays and Beyond
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
At this time of year, it’s especially important to find a store that truly offers something for everyone. Luckily for Nintendo fans, both the Wii™ Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi™ Shop boast a huge variety of downloadable games to satisfy every taste, size and experience level. Best of all, these online stores are open 24 hours a day and remain consistently free of big crowds and parking headaches. New additions to the WiiWare™ service this week include lilt line, an award-winning rhythm game that combines racing thrills with an irresistible soundtrack (there’s even a demo version you can download for zero Wii Points™). Meanwhile, Family Games™ delivers eight family-friendly gaming favorites straight to your Wii console, while fans of classic sci-fi shooters will rejoice to find the Super NES™ gem DARIUS TWIN on the Virtual Console™ service. And for something completely different, new arrivals on the Nintendo DSiWare™ service include Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ, a wild action title that invites players to ring in the season by fighting off a spooky supernatural threat. Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or for yourself, check out these and hundreds of other games from the comfort of home.
