Nintendo Downloads for August 30, 2010

Brace yourself for what is probably the smallest Nintendo Downloads update ever. In all the time I’ve been writing up the weekly downloadable game updates for the Wii and DSi, I’ve never seen so few games released. There are only four in total, one WiiWare game and three DSiWare games. And one of those DSiWare games doesn’t even count, since it’s just another myNotebook app.

Actually, it’s better to look at this week’s update as containing two games and two apps. The two games are Tales of Elastic Boy – Mission 1 (WiiWare) and Cosmos X2 (DSiWare) and the two apps are the aforementioned myNotebook: Pearl (DSiWare) and Music On: Learning Piano (DSiWare). As you can see, there aren’t any highly anticipated releases or games that are going to blow you away this week.

There are no Gamertell’s Nintendo Download picks this week.
