Flight-Themed Week for Nintendo's Downloadable Games

Nintendo has announced this week's latest entries in the libraries of its DSiWare and WiiWare downloadable titles services. The Virtual Console also get a new game after quite a long while with Aero The Acrobat, an 800 Wii Points worth high flying platformer. The Big Name Games section of the WarioWare D.I.Y. series will get its last update ever.

Nintendo WiiWare has two new games available, Dive: The Medes Island Secret and Heavy Fire: Special Operations. The former allows players to fill in the shoes of a treasure hunter and diver trying to find out the mystery of the Medes Island. It is priced at 1,000 Wii Points. The latter is an arcade shooter that also supports the Wii Zapper accessory and can be purchased for 500 Wii Points.

Nintendo DSiWare is the host of five new titles for Nintendo DS owners. Face Pilot: Fly With Your Nintendo DSi Camera! is a more esoteric release that allows players to take up flying using a glider. The DSi's camera tracks head movements so that the glider can be steered by tilting the head sideways, while climbing and diving can be achieved by leaning forward or backward. This game is priced at 500 Nintendo DSi Points.

Crystal Monsters is a title that sees the player become a Neo-Seed and collect various monsters to be used in battles with other Neo-Seeds. It can purchased and downloaded for 500 Nintendo DSi Points. Puffins: Let's Race! is a rather self-explanatory game that is priced at 800 DSi Points. Petz Hamsterz Family is a new entry in the Petz franchise that centers around a family of hamsters that the player can adopt. It is priced at 800 Nintendo DSi Points. Absolute Brickbreaker is a rehash of a classical concept that can be bought for 200 Nintendo DSi Points.
