It's another Monday and four new games were added to the Nintendo downloadable services this month, highlighted by the release of a LucasArts game of old for the Super Nintendo and a well-received WiiWare platformer that our European brethen have enjoyed for some time.

That platformer is the first WiiWare title, which is NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits from Over The Top Games. Players will control Nyx, a winged girl from the heavens in search of her friend Icarus. Use the power from the other gods to help you on your journey as you fly through ancient Greece avoiding and navigating through obstacles. The game invokes a lot from Nintendo's own Kid Icarus. A second player can join in to help and take control of the god powers while the first player focuses on platforming.


The other WiiWare game is Rock N' Roll Climber from Nintendo. First shown at GDC this year, it is a rock climbing game with a rock and roll twist. You're rewarded with your own guitar once you reach the top.

The Virtual Console title today is LucasArts' Super Star Wars the Super Nintendo. Play through Star Wars Episode IV with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca as you run and gun against the Evil Empire, up until the final encounter with Darth Vader on the Death Star.


The DSiWare title today is Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters from Nintendo. This version of Brain Age for the DSi has an artistic focus.
