Now There's the Nintendo Download We Know and Love

After last week’s double team of Zelda and Mario, I wasn’t sure if I could take the excitement of another big Nintendo Download. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. https://kotaku.com/zelda-and-mario-in-one-nintendo-download-is-it-our-bir-5845065(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: [[link]] "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Four, count ’em, four new titles hit Nintendo’s various downloadable game delivery platforms this week. If you count the demo version of Sabarasa’s Horizon Riders for WiiWare you could stretch it to five, but that’s cheating. Nice to see a game and demo come out at the same time for WiiWare at least, especially one that looks as interesting as Horizon does. Other than that, there’s the third installment of the House M.D. game and Simply Minesweeper for DSiWare, and the Game Boy classic Side Pocket for the 3DS. The only thing more exciting? Official game descriptions. WiiWare (Wii) Horizon Riders Publisher: Sabarasa Price: 800 Wii Points Planet Zethos has fallen under the military control of Thau-Phi, a rogue Artificial Intelligence.
