Nintendo Download Update: Ghosts'N Goblins and Petz

The second Nintendo download update of the year brings some classic Capcom titles to the Nintendo Wii, as well as a downloadable version of Ubisoft's extremely popular Petz series.

First off, let's start with the WiiWare online service, which brings three new titles for the Nintendo Wii.

The first is JellyCar 2, the driving platform game, with more and 30 levels of action as well as the possibility to race against friends through the multiplayer modes, all for just 500 Wii Points.

Soccer Bashi is next, promising to deliver Wii owners the soccer of the future, but actually delivering a pretty standard brick breaking game.

Still, with 90 game levels, a few different play modes and a level editor that lets you create new stages, you'll be getting a lot of content for 500 Wii Points.

Last but not least, for the WiiWare, we have a demo version of Art of Balance, which uses your Wii remote to build balanced stacks and reach the end of over 100 levels.

You can play alone, or get a friend with a second Wii Remote to help you through its drop-in drop-out cooperative mode, as well as play in a split-screen versus mode, to see who can build their towers the fastest.

The demo version is free, while the full one costs 800 Wii Points.

Without a doubt, one of the highlights of this week's Nintendo download update is the arrival on the Virtual Console section of two classic Capcom titles: Ghosts'N Goblins and Exed Exes.

In Ghosts'N Goblins you play the role of Arthur and help defeat hordes of monsters in order to rescue a princess.

You too will be able to explore this classic platformer for 800 Wii Points.

Exed Exes is another Capcom title from yesteryear, a vertically scrolling shooter that allows you to dodge bullets, collect fruit or set high scores, for 800 Wii Points.

Next up, the DSiWare was also updated with three new titles for DSi owners.

First off, we have Petz Catz Family, which, for 800 DSi Points, allows you to take care of your own virtual cats.

You will be able to play games with them, help them grow and teach them new tricks while they mature.

Surfacer+ is the second DSiWare game of the week and, for 500 DSi Points, allows you to fill up the screen with flowers and plan out your expansion, in order to take out enemies and collect bonus items.

Last but not least, we have EJ Puzzles: Hooked, which takes a strategic look at fishing, letting you explore different areas in order to catch fish and set a certain high score, all for 500 DSi Points.
