Seriously, that's it??  Not that I expected much this week but this very well may be the worst week Nintendo has ever offered.

I'm surprised 101 shark pets is spelled correctly.

Pearl Harbor looks promising, and its price looks good (700 points, I expected 1000). No footage on the tube yet though, outside trailers. Soul of Darkness looks like a competent Castlevania clone on DSiWare. This doesn't look like a bad week to me, potential wise, the games could always fall flat I guess. Not that Nintendo is responsible for that, I don't see why WiiWare/DSiWare are demanded to be the exceptions that only have good games, unlike every other platform, dd or retail. Do you even have all the great WiiWare games yet? There have been plenty already.

I went through my WiiWare downloads last night and I don't have all the good games but I do have most of them. That's kind of a neat feeling.  Still have 1,000 Wii points burning a hole in my pocket. Got to figure out what to do with them.

And I don't think anyone demanded they only release good WiiWare games all the time. However the selection this week is what I was griping at. No VC games and 2 WiiWare games. That's little light particularly when there's 8 different consoles and the (apparently defunct) VCA that have barely seen any additions.

Wow. No VC titles again. How lame and predictable. Sad
