Nintendo to Start Selling Select Downloadable Games in Online Store

Players now have an alternative to purchase downloadable games.

Nintendo has recently updated their online store with a Virtual Console and WiiWare section. This section will allow gamers to purchase a download ticket that they can redeem on the Wii Shop Channel.

Currently, the selection is very limited with only Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Virtual Console and Pokémon Rumble for WiiWare available at $5 and $15, respectively.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
