Nintendo downloads for November 30, 2009

Perhaps Nintendo is looking to take advantage of Cyber Monday shoppers, because it has released 10 games for download this week, four WiiWare, two Virtual Console and four DSiWare titles. Pretty substantial. I guess this also means there’s a good chance everyone will find something interesting to download.

The two most illustrious downloads this week are undoubtedly Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threewood on WiiWare and Bookworm on DSiWare. The latest Tales of Monkey Island chapter builds up anticipation for the conclusion of the series, Rise of the Pirate God, while Bookworm marks the first time a PopCap game has been ported to DSiWare.

Gamertell’s Nintendo Download picks for the week are Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4 (WiiWare) and Bookworm (DSiWare).
