Nintendo downloads for December 28, 2009

Wow! Nintendo really wants to end 2009 in the right way, if its download selection for the week of December 28, 2009 is any indication. There are four WiiWare games, one Virtual Console game and five DSiWare games ready to be downloaded. Oh, and did I mention that Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth (WiiWare), PilotWings (VC) and The Oregon Trail (DSiWare) are among the new downloads? Well they are!

It is an absolutely stellar week for games. I hope you got a Nintendo Points card or two over the holidays, because you’re probably going to be needing it.

Gamertell’s Nintendo Download picks for the week are Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth (WiiWare), The Magic Obelisk (WiiWare), PilotWings (VC) and The Oregon Trail (DSiWare).
