It's the first Monday in August, and four games were added to the North American Nintendo downloadable services of WiiWare, Virtual Console, and DSiWare. While we don't have the quantity like a couple weeks before, there's a noteworthy title coming on for each service.
The first WiiWare title is Overturn, by the mysterious Studio Zan. It's a mecha fighting game, with eight different robots to choose from equipped with various weapons of varying ranges. You can take your battles online in a two-person Versus fight or a four-person Battle Royale. There's also Wii Balance Board support for controlling your mecha
The other WiiWare title is Sexy Poker from Gameloft. Play a game of Texas Hold'Em or Black Jack in this strip poker title. When down to nothing, the manga-styled women will bet their clothes to try to stay in the game.
The Virtual Console title this week is Tecmo Bowl for the Arcades. Up to four players can partake in this popular football title, with more customization options than the NES port. The original arcade game had required a dual-screen cabinet for play.
The DSiWare title is another game in skip, Ltd. and Nintendo's Art Style series, Art Style: precipice. Known as Nalaku in japan, you have to steer your character to avoid getting crushed by falling blocks while climing up other blocks to get to the floors above. Move around blocks in order to get to the next level.
