Wii Archive

With all of the big name titles coming out for the Wii this year, you would think that Nintendo would put forth more time and effort into its downloadable lineup. The truth about it though is that week after week they continue to disappoint in bringing any quality titles to the service. No matter how upset I may be about this, I’m sure that there is at least something worth playing out of the sea of crap this time around. So, without further adieu, here is my pick for Nintendo Download of the Week for August 30th,2010.

My pic for this week is going to have to go to Cosmos X2 for the DSiWare service. It has an ESRB rating of E for Everyone, and is available for download through the DSi Shop Channel for the asking price of 500 DSi Points. The reason that I picked this game as my favorite was because it is an old-school 2D side scrolling shoot em up, which is something the older generation of gamers can appreciate, at least for the nostalgic factor anyway. If you are one of these people, then go ahead and download this one as soon as humanly possible.

Maybe firing laser beams at multiple enemies isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. In this case, checking out some of the other titles available for download might be a good idea. Interested in composing a great symphony?, give Music On: Learning Piano a try. Dear Diary, the next version of the mynotebook series, myNotebook: Pearl has just arrived, should I get it?, the answer is yes.

Looking for something to play on the Wii? Well, this may sound upsetting, but there is only one Wiiware game to check out. Elasticity is a good idea when it comes to stretchy pants, but who knows, Tales of Elastic Boy: Mission 1 may prove that there is more than one use for something like this.

All of this, and more can be found in the DSi and Wii Shop Channels right now, have fun!

P.S.- Dear Nintendo of America, quit stiffing us on Virtual Console games, there is no reason for it at all.
