Let’s see here a decent looking tennis game on DSiWare, a classic on VC, also a book on DSiWare? Sort of interesting. Also something called MEGA MAN 10. I loved Mega Man 9 so this is an instant buy for me. I’ll just let Nintendo explain the rest.

The number 10 can mean a lot of things: perfection, loud volume or, in the case of this week’s downloadable game lineup, the return of a true gaming icon. Fans will thrill to see the legendary blue bomber landing on their Wii console with the arrival of Mega Man 10 for the WiiWare service. Elsewhere, players can test their skill at tossing darts, bashing moles, conquering the tennis court or tackling exotic golf courses. Whether you’re stocking up on living room-ready titles for your Wii console or grabbing on-the-go games via the Nintendo DSiWare service, March is off to a truly magnificent start.

Let’s say you’re relaxing at home, but something doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe your house has ghosts. Clearly you need to get GhostSlayer, with its Wii MotionPlus accessory functionality, to figure out how to deal with them. Or maybe your house has a mouse. Mouse House puzzles seem the logical choice for you. Maybe you just need to get out of the house and try some fresh air with Family Go-Kart Racing. If it seems a bit brighter than usual outdoors, that’s probably because Aura-Aura, the star of Aura-Aura Climber, has fallen out of the sky. While you’re out having fun, take and share some crazy pictures of your friends and family with Faceez, or spend a few relaxing hours directing flights with Flight Control. And while you’re out there, you might want to spend some time helping a little boy recover his lost pet goldfish, Flipper.

Details after the jump! Also, did you notice? No VC games this week : (

Let’s run down through the highlights here. We’ve got Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, Blaster Master Overdrive, Legends of Exidia, Link N Launch, Phoenix Wright Justice for All, Prehistorik Man, Scrabble, Rollway Puzzle, Sonic & Knuckles, Tales of Monkey Island Episode 5, and The Art of Balance.

You know what? Not bad. Not bad at all. I can personally say that the Blaster Master remake is still extremely difficult, be warned though, there’s no classic controller support. The sleeper on this list may in-fact be The Art of Balance as it looks like an actual well made run physics game. Sonic & Knuckles is a classic. Link N Launch also looks intriguing to me for some reason.

More information on all of these titles are contained behind the following link.

So once again I got vanished for way too long and I’ve been neglecting the Download updates. Instead of just listing off each title here I’ll just comment on the ones you might care about. Why have I returned all of the sudden? Why now? Because today the best game in the universe was released in the US on WiiWare. I’m of course talking about MUSCLE MARCH. It’s $5 ok? 5! Not 10! I have to admit this now, but I modified my Wii to play the Japanese version of this illegally just because I knew that it would never get outside Japan. Shortly after that the Nintendo Channel started looking at what titles everyone was playing… and then it was announced Muscle March would see a US release. Coincidence? I think not. I hold fast to the belief that pirates got this a US release, and I’m buying Muscle March for real now so calm down.

Also there were other notable releases. Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth is a great title that is worth your time and money. Dark Void Zero, a neat looking DSiWare lost title from the SNES era. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has been ported from DS to Wiiware, which is identical to the DS version and not a new game unfortunately. Trajectile from Nintendo on DSiWare is a interesting puzzle game that’s worth a look. PilotWings on SNES hit the VC along with a couple other classic titles like Smash Bros 64 (which I guess is classic now). The amazing arcade laser disk game Dragon’s Lair saw a port to the DSiWare service. A Rayman game was released on DSiWare, which I really don’t know too much about, but it’s a new game as far as I can tell. And finally the 4th chapter of Monkey Island on Wiiware showed up!

I’m skipping over a ton of title here, which I apologize for, but the ones I mentioned stand out almost as much as MUSCLE MARCH

Happy Holidays from Bomb-Omb. What did you think of this year in terms of gaming? Personally, I consider 2009 an above-average year, it had some great highlights, but was a bit scattered. 2010 promises to be even better with Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Other M, and maybe (just maybe) the Zelda game designed around the Motion Plus, just to name some big titles from Nintendo.

If you enjoyed Mega Man 9 and it’s awesome box art like I did, then you’ll be excited about the totally rad announcement of Mega Man 10 and it’s box art! Mega Man 10 follows in 9’s footsteps, retaining that tried and true 8-bit NES style. So just right there I’m sold, but take a closer look at this art (higher res here). It’s got all those flaws the old box art did. Mega Man has an arm cannon (on the correct arm this time) but has some sort of laser gun. Proto Man looks like Shredder from TMNT, Sheep Man at the left, a robot dragon with tit guns, and Dr. Wiley’s castle mounted akwardly on some sort of space ship. Pure win.

Dear Capcom, make this box available for purchase! It doesn’t have to come in an NES cart like the Mega Man 9 press kit did. Just a DVD case inside the NES case would suffice. Pleeeeeeeease?

Among the latest downloadable games from Nintendo is BIT.TRIP VOID, a riveting new installment in the extraordinary retro-arcade series for the WiiWare service. You’ll also find some remarkable kid-friendly fare on WiiWare this week, including the immersive Harvest Moon: My Little Shop. Race-loving Mario fans will thrill to see the original Super Mario Kart make its Virtual Console debut alongside the imaginative A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia. The Nintendo DSiWare service welcomes Castle Of Magic - featuring some inventive uses for the Nintendo DSi system’s built-in cameras - as well as five delightful additions to the Electroplankton series.

See this game? Obtain it. Buy it, rent it, play a friends copy, whatever. The important thing is that you play it, because this for certain one of the best titles on the Wii system. I’m going to say it even surpasses Mario Galaxy ok? That’s just my opinion, but if you’re like me and love the older style of Mario games I think you’ll feel the same.

I took advantage of GameStop’s trade in deal for New Super Mario Bros. Trade in two games on the list, get the game for $10.
