14 DAY TRIAL // Christmas is knocking on our doors and, as Santa tries to make his way down the chimney and hand out gifts, Nintendo offers third-party support with this week's download list. There will be four new WiiWare items available for all that want to make a gift this week, so pay close attention to the list and make the right decision. The first game available is Nintendo's very own Eco Shooter: Plant 530 and it gives you a chance to save the world by thinking green. Tin cans have been animated by aliens and they have a chip on their shoulder. The only one that than can stop them is Mack, and he'll need his recycle cannon to blow them away. Your ammo counter also doubles as a life meter, so there will be no spray and pray here. Eco Shooter: Plant 530 is priced at 1,000 Wii Points.
Nex up is Gameloft's 800-Wii Point TV Show King 2, which offers more than 8,000 quiz questions divided in 12 categories, like general knowledge, sports, movies, music and many others. The game also provides the option to make your own questions and challenge a friend via the Wi-Fi connection.
The third game on the list is Pallurikio, a puzzle platformer that has you rolling and jumping to make it to the end. Playstos Entertainment is the one that published the title and it tagged it at 1,000 Wii Points. The last Wii addition is Happy Holidays Christmas from 505 Games, and, in true holiday spirit, the game lets you design quirky and hilarious e-cards to send your other friends who own a Wii. The application is priced at 500 Wii Points.
The DSiWare also received some special gifts and the first one is UNO. The famous card game has been brought to the DSi with some new rules and special multiplayer options like Wi-Fi and broadband Internet.
