NA Nintendo Download Update: 11/23/09: A Boy and His Blob, some Mario Kart, and a lot of Electroplankton in the VOID

November 23, 2009 in Press Release comments 3

Lots of titles are hit the North American Nintendo downloadable services today, with some favorites in BIT.TRIP VOID and Super Mario Kart joining the fray, along with the other half of the Electroplankton DSiWare titles. The count this week is four WiiWare games, two Virtual Console games, and seven DSiWare games.

BIT.TRIP VOID is the third installment in Gaijin Games' BIT.TRIP series, a retro-arcade musical and visual experience. Can you survive the onslaught of beats? The other notable WiiWare title is Harvest Moon: My Little Shop, where you take over a farm and shop in Clover Town, and try to keep your customers happy. Gevo Entertainment's Little Tournament Over Yonder could be interesting as you play a prince/princess that leads your team into realtime battles.

Two classics hit the Virtual Console, with the aforementioned Super Mario Kart finally hitting the VC. Joining it will be A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia for the NES, the game that was the basis for this year's excellent Wii title, A Boy and His Blob.

As for DSiWare, the other five Electroplankton titles will hit along side Gameloft's interesting adventure title Castle of Magic that will make use of the DSi's camera. Pop developer Nnooo has also created a notebook application for DSiWare.

      Super Mario Kart and A Boy and His Blob are two essential titles. The new BahB game looks beautiful. The graphics are stunning. And you can't beat an old Mario Kart game.

      Super Mario Kart is awesome, never played the old A Boy and His Blob game though. The Harvest Moon WiiWare title looks pretty cool as well.
