Nintendo Download of the Week: 2/21 Edition

It really starts to annoy me when quantity in the amount of releases overlooks the quality of the games being offered. Why try to challenge anybody’s hand eye coordination when you could just as easily make them stare at a fireplace for 5 dollars?Throw in a demo for a game I’ve already played, along with some passable portable offerings, and you end up with with a rather lackluster effort on the download front this time around. Nevertheless here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for February 21st, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 2/14 Edition

Apparently the holiday in which we show love for our significant others has finally arrived. Whether you have someone in your life or not, one thing must be known, this weeks offering is lacking in all the wrong places. Nothing really stands out to me here, so making a decision is going to be a hard thing to do. Let’s get on with it, here is my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for February 14th, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 2/7 Edition

After watching an exciting game like the Super Bowl, expecting a great offering of new downloadable titles isn’t too much to ask, or is it? I have to admit that it gets harder to pick a favorite week after week because shovelware seems to be the name of the game every time. Just because one person feels this way doesn’t mean that there isn’t something in here that might be worth checking out. Anyways here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for February 7th, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/31 Edition

When I think of the downloadable offerings this time around, only one word comes to mind, boring. With the pending release of the 3DS being just around the corner, it seems like these developers are not even trying anymore. Apparently, services you can call 1-900 numbers for (and no it’s nothing dirty) can qualify themselves as games. There is still a gem in here somewhere, guess we will just have to dig real deep in order to find it. Here it is, my pic for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 31st, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/24 Edition

This is the first time in quite awhile where picking a favorite download is not so easy. Two titles in particular look equally interesting, but in the end I had to go with the one that has the possibility of being worth it in the long run. Being a sports related game made my decision a little bit easier, but not by much. Either way here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 24th,2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/17 Edition

If names of games alone could win my favorite pick every time, one of these would take the cake without question. Let’s be clear about something though, an interesting concept means more than anything else when picking out a favorite. That being said, one game in particular did grab my attention, but it may not be the one you expect. Here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 17th, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/10 Edition

There isn’t really too much to get excited about with this latest installment of Nintendo downloads. An interesting looking demo, and more additions to the VC might just save it from being a complete disaster. No matter how bad things get, I’m sure there is something in this mess of shovelware that might be worth checking out. Either way here it is, my pic for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 10th, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 1/03 Edition

The first set of downloads for the new year doesn’t look too promising if you ask me. No virtual console releases to speak of is a big disappointment as well. Who knows though, a gem could exist amongst these offerings, so let’s give them a chance. So here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for January 3rd, 2011. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 12/20 Edition

After taking a look at this weeks offerings, picking a favorite was pretty easy to do. Sure, an instant classic has hit the Virtual Console, but I did get a chance to check out this other game at Pax East 2010, and it was alot of fun. Be warned though, the concept is incredibly strange, and if you’re not into disco music, or taking a trip back to the 70′s, then my choice might not fit your particular tastes. Either way, here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for December 20th, 2010. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 12/13 Edition

After the strong outing last time, Nintendo download have now made their way back to earth. This week’s releases aren’t neccessarily bad or anything, there’s just nothing on offer here that catches my eye as a must play title. As always, something out of this pile of mediocrity has to be worth checking out. So here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for December 13th, 2010. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 12/6 Edition

Christmas must be coming early, because the amount of downloads available this time around is simply overwhelming. Three new WiiWare games, a demo of one of those, two Virtual Console releases, and three new DSiWare downloads give new meaning to the term “it’s the most wonderful time of the year”. Since I can’t pick everything as my favorite, only one title will rise up above the rest. So here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for December 6th, 2010. (more…)

Nintendo Download of the Week: 11/22 Edition

The only thing that saved this installment of Nintendo downloads from being a total disaster was the addition of demos for WiiWare, otherwise, this is just another typical week of shovelware as usual. At least the Virtual Console is getting something new, but honestly, it’s something I’ve never heard of. Thankfully, a tried but true franchise is here to save the day, offering something that just might be worth checking out. So here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for Nov. 22nd,2010.

Guess man’s best friend is the theme for this iteration of Nintendo downloads. Things are getting so lazy that everyday life activities, such as playing fetch with your dog, have somehow managed to become games. Even in this sea of shovelware uselessness, there is still one title in particular which might be worth checking out. So here it is, my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for Nov.15th, 2010.
