Nintendo Downloads for November 3, 2011

Oh Nintendo eShop, you’re just so sad and depressing. Last week’s slightly upbeat and even almost interesting update must have been a fluke, because we’re right back to pointless with this week’s update. There are only four new games to look through, one for WiiWare, one 3DS Virtual Console game and two DSiWare games. By the way, one of the DSiWare games is yet another episodic entry in the ongoing House M.D. casual game series that you can get on your computer bundled together for less than one of the DSiWare releases. Yes, it is definitely one of those days.

Gamertell’s Nintendo Download picks for the week is Balloon Kid (3DS).
