Nintendo Download: Puzzle Bobble, Water Warfare, SimEarth, Altered Beast and More Sudoku (EU)
DSiWare takes a bit of a break to give the spotlight to the Wii releases this week.
A large part of today's update isn't very surprising - Three of the games are published by Hudson Soft and were already announced for release earlier this week. The two unannounced releases are quite nice surprises though!On WiiWare, we've gotten Puzzle Bobble Plus!, the third Bubble Bobble series WiiWare remake by..
Nintendo Download: Super Smash Bros., Cocoto, Asphalt and Sudoku (EU)
As announced, four new games are new available.
Well, no surprises here! All four games released today were already announced beforehand.Super Smash Bros. is the first game in Nintendo's massively popular fighting franchise. There's a total of 12 characters and 9 stages, which is obviously not much when compared to the content of Melee and Brawl, but it's still fairly fun. The question is, is there..
Nintendo Download: Final Fantasy, Even More Art, and Animal Crossing Apps (EU)
No love for the Virtual Console this week. Boooooooo!
Things were looking good for a short while - The VC seemed to be getting new games every week as of a month or so ago. But two weeks ago, and now again this week, there's not a single new VC game in sight - Please don't tell us Nintendo of Europe is going back to alternating VC and WiiWare weeks!At least the WiiWare and DSiWare offerings this..
Nintendo Download: Space Harrier Arcade, Fish'em All and Art Style: NEMREM (EU)
The first new arcade game since Virtual Console Arcade launched is accompanied by one more game for each service.

Nintendo Download: Crystal Defenders R2, Penguins & Friends, PiCOPiCT and Pop Superstar (EU)
Two WiiWare and two DSiWare titles for Europe this week.
It seems like there is no Virtual Console game this week. Last week, however, we thought there wasn't one either - Then it suddenly appeared on the Wii Shop half an hour later! Perhaps the same will happen this time.Crystal Defenders R2 isn't much of a surprise seeing as North America got it last Monday. You once again have to defend your..
Nintendo Download: Swords & Soldiers, Pitfall and Even More Magic Tricks (EU)

With its cartoony 2D graphics, fairly deep gameplay and multiple game modes it's certainly one of the more..
Nintendo Download: Fantasy Zone II, Rainbow Islands and More Magic (EU)
Two hits and one miss this week!
All the signs were pointing to a new Hanabi Festival starting today - Nintendo of Europe did not reveal today's new games in advance (Unlike the past two weeks) which lead us to believe there'd be something big. On top of that, it's "Golden Week" in Japan at the moment, a national holiday! How much longer are we gonna have to wait?It's not all that bad..
Nintendo Download: Bit.Trip Beat, Dr. Mario, Magic and Galaxy Force II (EU)
Alternating Virtual Console and WiiWare weeks come to an end!
WiiWare's almost been out for a year in Europe, and it seems that because of that, Nintendo of Europe has decided to start using the same schedule North America does - Releasing both VC and WiiWare games every week. Of course there's another DSiWare game as well. None of the games are actually available until tonight, NoE's simply chosen..

News: EU WiiWare Update: Beer Pong and Snowboard Riot
It had to happen some day. We’d been hoping and praying that it would pass us by; that maybe Nintendo, in its infinite mercy would deem us Europeans likeable enough to avoid such digital garbage, but sadly it wasn’t to be. We’re sorry to report that the lamentable Beer Pong! Frat Party Games – the game that proved that quality and popularity don’t always go hand-in-hand by topping the US WiiWare charts for God knows how long - is now available on the EU WiiWare service.
The video game equivalent of watching paint dry (only not as exciting)..
News: EU WiiWare Update: Onslaught and Pop-Up Pirate!
This week brings an unexpected release! You were probably expecting Snowboard Riot to be Hudson's next WiiWare game in Europe. Surprise surprise, because they have instead chosen to release Onslaught!
Onslaught was only announced for European/American release about a week ago, but it's already available now! The game is, shockingly enough, a first person shooter - The first on WiiWare. In fact,..
News: EU WiiWare Update: Pop Them Drop Them and Family Glide Hockey
The news wire has spoken and it has been revealed that lucky European WiiWare fans have two new releases to sink their teeth into this week, so let's have a look at what's afoot, shall we?
Puzzle game Pop Them, Drop Them SAMEGAME unquestionably wins the award for stupidest moniker of the month, but the jury is still out on whether or not this is worth a look. It’s from Hudson and only costs 500..
News: EU WiiWare Update: Lonpos
Seemingly following up to last week's rather sub-par VC update, this week doesn't really bring many exciting games to WiiWare! There's just one lone new game available today - The first WiiWare update since WiiWare launched to only have one game.
That game is Lonpos, which has been available in Japan since WiiWare launched for them! Lonpos is yet another puzzle game - The objective is to rotate..
News: EU WiiWare Update: Fun! Fun! Minigolf and Strong Bad Episode 5
Not many surprises for Europe today to start off 2009 - One game was already announced beforehand, and the other was almost guaranteed to come out! It's still a nice duo of games, however.
Fun! Fun! Minigolf was released in the US two weeks ago. As the title implies this is a golf game - Graphically it's easily one of the strongest games on WiiWare, but the game is sort of lacking in actual..
