NEWS - It’s that time of week again! Nintendo downloads reveal day.

Nintendo is offering the usual batch of a mix of puzzles, adventure games, non-game games, and the old school games.

Out of the 11 new titles being offered this week, the WiiWare holds four of them. If you’re a Wii owner, you can get your puzzle fix with MAGNETIS. Train dolphins with My Dolphin, teaching them tricks to put on at shows. Flowerworks is the Wii’s adventure game, where you play as Follie who gets shipwrecked on a mysterious planet. Finally, Nintendo suggests some stress relief with Stop Stress: A Day of Fury. Fight past your nightmares as the protagonist Jack, and help him beat his way through the obstacles.

The DSi has a slew of downloads on their Ware, as well. Ball Fighter is their equivalent of a puzzle for the DSi. You can also download Rayman, Pop Island, and ARMY DEFENDER. Rayman follows the humble adventure quest of Rayman as he tries to save the world. Pop Island is a capture-the-flag game full of multiplayer potential. ARMY DEFENDER is the DSi’s action shooter for the week full of tanks, helicopters, bombers, you name it. Lastly, for the non-game game category, the DSi is offering another myNotebook game, myNotebook: Red.

The old school on the Virtual Console for this week is Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Shinobi. Street Fighter Alpha 2 coming from the SNES contains Quick Move Reversals and Alpha Counters. Shinobi is an old school arcade game from the SEGA days where you play as Joe Musashi on the hunt to save kidnapped children.

With the next holidays around the corner, perhaps the downloads list will give you some ideas for gifts. Read on for the full details including pricing and a more in-depth description of the games than I just spouted.
