Nintendo Download Big Names and Brilliant Games Make for a Must-See Downloadable Lineup

There’s one word to describe the latest downloadable game offerings from Nintendo: phenomenal. For starters, WiiTM owners can dive into a space adventure for the ages as the Super NESTM classic Super Star WarsTM makes its Virtual ConsoleTM debut. WiiWareTM devotees have two extraordinary new titles to choose from, including the high-flying NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits and the super-charged Rock N’ Roll ClimberTM. And don’t miss this week’s Nintendo DSiWareTM Brain AgeTM title, which will help keep your mind buzzing wherever you go.

You will need the help of Zeus and other benevolent gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds as you wish. By making your own wrist movements and pointing to the game screen, you will be able to achieve these and many other feats. Fly, aim and shoot using your Wii RemoteTM controller.

Make your way up an array of courses, ranging from the Pop level’s indoor rock wall to the Heavy Metal level’s waterfalls (watch out for those moss-covered rocks – they’re slick).
