Mario’s classic doctor-themed Game Boy puzzler is the highlight of the Nintendo eShop update this week in an update that is otherwise pretty bare.

This is an interesting, confusing little idea. Imagine a shoot-em-up where every bullet represents a life, and every life represents a bullet. You’ve only got 99 of them, so shoot – and duck – wisely.

Why, Nintendo, is that you? Come in, come in. Here, let us take your coat.

Oh, and feel free to toss another log on this nice “when the hell is the eShop actually launching?” fire.

According to this week’s Famitsu release list (via AndriaSang), Bomberman’s bringing his adorable brand of arson to the DSi’s download service in October.

Or at least, that’s the date for Japan, anyway. Hudson hasn’t actually announced the game yet, though, so the what’s, when’s, and why’s of the West are still up in the air.

We’ve contacted Hudson for more info. Here’s hoping the publisher gets back to us soon, maybe with some news on the long-awaited Bomberman: Act Zero sequel.

After last week’s desert-dry game selection, this week is like emerging into a sparkling, thirst-slaking oasis. Three games? That was the old Nintendo. Now though, things are different.

Wii-bound this week are Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2, Phantasy Star, and 3-2-1, Rattle Battle. Meanwhile, the DSi’s nabbing Puzzle League Express.

Full details on all four (!) games are after the break.

Own a Wii and/or DSi? Like downloading stuff? Well then, this one might be a little hard for you to choke down. See, while other weeks have given you a crop of four, five — maybe even six — sparkly new games to download, this week’s a barren wasteland with only three.

Oh, wait! Is that another game we just saw?

Nope. Just a tumbleweed. Our fragile hearts are shattered.

So, if you haven’t gone mad with grief and done something crazy like buy an Xbox or PS3, this week’s selection is composed of Pop + Solo, Mr. Driller W, and Super Empire Strikes back.

Full details on each game are after the break.

As per usual, Nintendo has lit the fuse on another week with a new batch of downloadable games. We, of course, are telling you about them, thus making sure the natural order doesn’t fall into chaos.

This week brings PictureBook Games: Pop-Up Pursuit, Family Slot Car Racing, and Revenge of the Shinobi to the Wii, while Brain Age Express: Sudoku and Guitar Rock Tour round out the DSi’s lineup.

Ninjas, guitars, and slot cars? In the same week? This has to be some kind of good omen.

Full descriptions of each game are after the break.

This week’s spat of Nintendo downloads has something for everyone, even Star Wars-loving, Brain Age-devouring, rock-climbing aficionados. Finally, Nintendo’s reached out to that notoriously vocal demographic.

On the Virtual Console, you’ll find 2D beat-you-up Super Star Wars, while a plentiful WiiWare harvest has brought forth both Rock ‘n’ Roll Climber and Nyx Quest: Kindred Spirits. You may remember Nyx Quest as that Kid Icarus-ish title that was forced to change its name.

There’s also an artsy take on Brain Age, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Full details on each game are after the break.

The full list of descriptions is after the break.

It’s the beginning of a new week, and you know what that means– wait! Come back! Cardgame collections and family friendly fare aren’t all you’re getting this week.

Oh sure, for you bloodless, fully clothed families of cardsharks, this week’s update brings an E-rated Three Musketeers swashbuckler, HB Arcade Cards, and Sudoku Student on the DSi. But there’s also Monkey Island!

Full info on each game is after the break.

Nintendo’s put out its list of downloads for the week, with this week’s obvious standout being Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord.

There’s also Battle Poker, which — sadly — puts a heavy emphasis on the poker, and not the battling. 5 Spots Party rounds out the Wii’s portion of the line-up, and Art Style: Zengage (uh, yeah) serves as the sole DSiWare representative for the week.

The Virtual Console, meanwhile, is hiding its head in shame over a release-free week.

Full details on each game are after the break.

Nintendo has unveiled the second batch of DSiWare games for Japan, IGN writes. There are eight games in total.

A couple of the more interesting titles in the 200 DSi Point category (£1.70 / €2.40) are Solitaire DSi – no explanation needed – and Nintendo DSi Clock Photo Stand Type – turns your DSi into a clock.

For 500 DSi Points (£4.25/€)600) there’s Hobo Nichi Rosenzu, which, as Eurogamer puts it, “lets you play around with the rail maps for Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Sapporo, Fukuoka and Kyoto.”

The remaining five titles are detailed through either link.
