Saturday, September 12th, 2009 at 9:45am by David
Despite most of August being a bit slow for physical copies of new games, the Wii and DSi have received a nice share of downloadable games. (Well, the Wii has ..) Virtual Console got the SNES Star Wars trilogy; WiiWare received fun stuff like Contra Rebirth, Monkey Island, and NyxQuest; and even Nintendo showed some decent DSiWare love with Puzzle League, Clubhouse, and Brain Age mini-games.
Any new NintendoWare that you’d like to let us know about? What are your favorites?

I tried out Guitar Rock Tour for the DSi, it wasn’t that bad but not amazingly good either. What is nice about it is that it doesn’t need an external device to play the guitar, it just uses the touch screen and does so very well. Its a good template for Guitar Hero games for the DS that shouldn’t need a GBA slot device.

I’m still rockin out on Bit.Trip Core from July, and it’s one of the best games I’ve played this year. From the August list, the only one that interests me is NyxQuest. I’m also tempted to get Revenge of Shinobi, but that would just be for nostalgia.

Personally, I need to get two games today:
PictureBook Games™: Pop-Up Pursuit
Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2
I just haven’t had time, I guess, with all the Boom Blox Bash and GH5 I’m playing.

NyxQuest is alright, but nothing great..if you have free time get it, if not, its no big lost

Contra Rebirth is a beautifully animated 2D throw back to the SNES. It’s tough, it’s pretty, and it’s everything it should be.
If you want a nostalgia trip or some classic run and gun action, I recommend it far above Megaman 9.

Hmmm looks like we have an imposter on here. I just came to check the new comments and saw there were double posts from me. At first I thought I had done something wrong, then realized that the times are about an hour and a half apart and the second one from me leads to some website. I suggest no one clicks the link and perhaps Infendo can do something about it.
