NA Nintendo Download Update: 09/21/09: Kenji Eno Returns in You, Me, and the Cubes

September 21, 2009 in Press Release comments

Today's Nintendo Download update marks the return of a legend, with game designer Kenji Eno's first console title in a decade. It is accompanied by another WiiWare game, a Virtual Console game, and two DSiWare games.

Kenji Eno's new game, with fyto, is none other than the action puzzler You, Me, and the Cubes, which is being published by Nintendo. Gameplay revolves around a set of cubes in which you need to get the human-like Fallos to balance on. The weight and location of each Fallos you put onto the cubes is important; throw the weight out of balance, the Fallos will fall off to their doom.

The other WiiWare game this week is the Arc System Works-developed Family Tennis, brought to you by Aksys Games. The family is back once again this time on the tennis court, with three different modes availability: Elimination Match, Free Match, and Thrilling Rally.

On the Virtual Console is Last Ninja 2 for the Commodore 64. The evil shogun Kunitoki is back once again, and it is up to Armakuni to defeat Kunitoki once and for all in 1988 Manhattan.

The first DSiWare title is another in the Clubhouse Games Express series, this time being Clubhouse Games Express: Strategy Pack from Nintendo. Five strategy-based games pulled from the DS title Clubhouse Games are available: Backgammon, FIeld Tactics, Turncoat, Connect Five and Grid Attack. Up to 8 players are supported.

The other DSiWare title is MySims Camera from Electronic Arts. It is a camera application for the Nintendo DSi involving the publisher's MySims characters, in which you can overlay those characters into the photos you take.
