DSiWare: Bomberman Blitz, 500 Nintendo Points

Bomberman is back! This multiplayer-focused title lets you play with up to seven other players, either locally or online. The game lets you customize maps and items to your preferences. Not much to say, but really, what else do you need to say?

DSiWare: Electroplankton Trapy, 200 Nintendo Points

One of five Electroplankton titles that lets you make your own funky music. "Trapy plankton make sounds as they swim over graceful lines made up of linked triangles. The creatures follow the lines you trace along the water. All Trapy plankton produce different tones depending on the direction they swim."

DSiWare: Electroplankton Hanenbow, 200 Nintendo Points

One of five Electroplankton titles that lets you make your own funky music. "Hanenbow sometimes use floating leaves to launch themselves out of the water, creating strange sounds and melodies as they bounce off the leaves. As a leaf is repeatedly hit by flying Hanenbow, it gradually changes color. This also alters the sound made by bouncing Hanenbow. When all the leaves turn red, a flower will bloom."

DSiWare: Electroplankton Rec-Rec, 200 Nintendo Points

One of five Electroplankton titles that lets you make your own funky music. "Rec-Rec are fishlike plankton that feed on sound waves. They absorb sound waves transmitted through water and use them as a form of nutrition. Once the digestion process is complete, they play back the sounds in perfect four-second intervals.When they swim at different speeds, the frequency with which they emit sounds also changes."

DSiWare: Electroplankton Nanocarp, 200 Nintendo Points

One of five Electroplankton titles that lets you make your own funky music. "Using their two ears to sense vibrations coming through the water, these plankton can distinguish sound quality and frequency. They display very interesting reactions to the sound of humans clapping or breathing. These plankton emit sounds on their own when they sense waves on the water’s surface."

DSiWare: Electroplankton Beatnes, 200 Nintendo Points

One of five Electroplankton titles that lets you make your own funky music. "Beatnes are curious plankton with geometrically shaped heads that form vertical strands like seaweed. The sound of a Beatnes can vary wildly depending on which segment of the body is tapped. However, all of the sounds closely resemble the short-wave and triangular-wave sound effects from a Nintendo Entertainment System™ sound chip."

WiiWare: Excitebike: World Rally, 1,000 Nintendo Points

A third franchise returns as downloadable content. The fixed-camera style of obstacle- and racer-avoiding gameplay is back, with four championship circuits to go through. You can play with others locally or online, as well as creating and sharing custom racetracks.

WiiWare: Frogger Returns, 500 Nintendo Points

Our fourth and final resurrected franchise is the venerable Frogger. This game features classic Frogger gameplay, with new levels and the ability to race against a friend.

WiiWare: Dragon Master Spell Caster, 500 Nintendo Points

On the back of your dragon, you must play through one of four Story Mode paths to decide the fate of the world, battling against the four Dragon Lords. You can also battle against a friend in this title that blends action and strategy.

Master System: Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap, 500 Nintendo Points

Hailed as one of the Master System’s classic titles, this entry in the series picks up right where the previous game left off, in the lair of the final boss. Explore freely with your numerous animal forms, and use your money to buy items and upgrades to help you.

Commodore 64: Cybernoid, 500 Nintendo Points

Pirates have stolen tons of jewelry, weapons, and other items, and it’s up to you and your Cybernoid ship to get them back. You’ll have to take down defenses systems and pirates as you collect cargo in an attempt to return within the time limit. If you don’t make it back in time, or if you didn’t retrieve enough booty, that’s -1 life for you.

Man, this is an enormous haul; even if we only had one Electroplankton title, that’s still a seven-game update, with plenty of big names in there. I’ll pay $5 for Bomberman any day. This is a good week.
