Nintendo Downloads for December 8, 2011

Hey everyone! I know what you’re expecting. You think I’m going to say we’re seeing another week of disappointing Nintendo downloads. Well, you’d be wrong. While it is kind-of sad that there are only four new downloadable games this week, there are actually some promising games hidden in there. I mean honestly, only one of the games sounds like it may not be worth your time.

Gamertell’s Nintendo Download picks for the week are Pushmo (3DS) and Paper Wars: Cannon Fodder (WiiWare).
