"Nintendo will add the original Super Smash Bros. to the Virtual Console today for a price of 1,000 Wii Points ($10). And not only is the classic N64 brawler finally being added to the Virtual Console, it will also be the 500th game added to the Wii Shop Channel.

On the DSiWare side of things, the wild card game Uno and a DSiWare rendition of Dragon's Lair lead the pack."

"Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) really came into its own this year. From enormous adventures you can sink dozens of hours into to modest but addictive little puzzle games, Microsoft's downloadable game service has a wide variety of quality offerings.

We know this time of year there are a bunch of new Xbox 360 owners out there, so we've put together this list of the ten essential XBLA games you should download pronto. This is by no means a comprehensive list of everything the service has to offer,..."

Major Nelson has posted the Live Activity for this week, summing up what is being played online in the gaming world for Xbox 360. I am amazed that despite the release of World at War, this does not hinder the CoD4 community from taking down everything that isn't Halo 3.

"We here at IGN have several favorite Xbox Live Arcade games. Puzzle Quest, Undertow, Pac-Man Championship Edition, Prince of Persia Classic… We could go on.

It would appear that the masses do not share our taste in downloadable games, though, as none of these titles made the list of top ten XBLA games for 2007.

Major Nelson has released the list over on his blog. It seems most gamers overwhelmingly favor retro games over original content."
