Nintendo Download: 5/16/11

This week’s free WiiWare demo is for Lead the Meerkats.

DSiWare: Big Bass Arcade, 500 Nintendo Points

Cast your line and try to catch the world-record bass. Fish on seven different lakes with nine different lures, and compete in 42 events or three multiple-lake tournaments. Play with button or stylus controls as you try to outsmart this highly-developed bass AI.

DSiWare: Word Searcher 3, 500 Nintendo Points

For you word search fans out there, Word Searcher 3 brings another 100 themed word search puzzles to your DSi, with themes like rivers, currency and astronomy. The game offers plenty of replayability as well, as the words and letters are scrambled every time you play.

DSiWare: Hellokids – Vol. 1: Coloring and Painting, 200 Nintendo Points

Turn your DSi into a coloring book. Use your stylus to color on 150 included drawings, or draw your own and fill it in. You can even draw on top of your photos taken with the Nintendo DSi Camera.

WiiWare: Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove: Monster Mix, 500 Nintendo Points

All of the zombies loyal to Vlad the Vampire have disappeared from Monster Town. In order to get them back, you’ll have to break it down on the dance floor and bust some serious moves. Grab your Wii Remote and dance along to a number of tunes in order to try and lure the zombies back. Up to four players can dance at once.

SNES: Chrono Trigger, 800 Nintendo Points

This SNES RPG hardly needs an introduction. Join Crono, Marle, and more on an epic journey through time. Travel into the past, pilot amazing technology and fight vicious foes in an attempt to save the future in one of the most famous video games in history.

Finally, we get Chrono Trigger on the Virtual Console. There are still plenty of amazing games that can be released for the service, and with a new console on the horizon, I’m not sure why Nintendo is waiting so long.
