In addition to this week’s downloadables, Nintendo offers a special treat for users of Flipnote Studio, who can now use the website to search for flipnotes made by famous artists.
DSiWare: Foto Face: The Face Stealer Strikes, 800 Nintendo Points
This platforming title has you put your face into the game, using the DSi camera. As you progress through the 15 levels of this action platformer, you’ll provide the face and voice of every character.
DSiWare: Bookworm, 500 Nintendo Points
The PopCap classic finds a home on DSiWare. Letters rain down from above, and you’ll have to find words jumbled in the mess to feed to Lex, the Bookworm. Watch out for flaming tiles, and keep an eye out for Reward Tiles.
DSiWare: Master Of Illusion Express: Mind Probe, 200 Nintendo Points
This rather strange Master Of Illusion title will have an audience member write down a favorite item, then shock them as it detects that item when spoken aloud. We’re not sure what’s so surprising either, really.
DSiWare: Sudoku Challenge!, 500 Nintendo Points
It’s yet another Sudoku game! This one boasts a mighty 100 million puzzles, including Grand Sudoku, which has you solving five interconnecting puzzles at once.
WiiWare: Tales Of Monkey Island Chapter 4: The Trial And Execution Of Guybrush Threepwood, 1,000 Nintendo Points
This penultimate chapter in the Tales Of Monkey Island series sees Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate, returning to Flotsam Island, where its citizens are not at all happy to see him.
WiiWare: My Zoo, 500 Nintendo Points
This title has you playing the role of an animal breeder, taking care of many animals you’d normally only see in the zoo. You’ll have eight different animal types (though you can purchase up to four more), whom you can feed, play with, clean up and more. Depending on how you raise them, they may become spoiled, or perhaps they’ll become overeaters.
WiiWare: Copter Crisis, 500 Nintendo Points
You are the newest member of the Helicopter Rescue Squad, and you’ll be sent out to perform daring rescue missions using high-end technology; you’ll deliver supplies, rescue hikers, and you’ll even have a chance to blow stuff up. In addition to being Balance Board compatible, you can purchase up to 10 additional copter models, with bonuses like unlimited missiles.
WiiWare: Christmas Clix, 1,000 Nintendo Points
This familiar-looking puzzle game has you connecting presents and trees in order to remove them from the ever-increasing stack. Collect candy canes while you’re at it, also, to work your way toward receiving a special star from Santa.
SNES: The Combatribes, 800 Nintendo Points
The gang "Guilty Zero" has taken over New York City, and it’s up to you and a friend to punch every last one of its members in the face. You can also kick them, throw them, or use other techniques as one of three characters.
Arcade: Solomon’s Key, 600 Nintendo Points
You are Dana, a wizard who is searching for the fabled Solomon’s Key, which can help drive away evil spirits. This most challenging version of the oft-ported title has you blowing up blocks and searching for keys to unlock doors, with more action than any port.
We don’t need any more blasted Sudoku games. We will accept your offering of Monkey Island as an apology.
