March is a Mega Month for Nintendo Game Downloads

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.

WiiWare

Fans of all ages can enjoy the newest entry in this historic 8-bit franchise. As a special service to new players, there’s an Easy Mode – a first for a Mega Man game. This new feature means novices and longtime fans alike can all have a shot at making it to the end of a Mega Man game. Also, you can now play as Proto Man and try Time Attack Mode from the beginning, or watch play-through videos from players all over the world.

Dart Rage
Publisher: JV Games Inc.

ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Alcohol Reference

With pixel-perfect accuracy and no buttons to push, you’ll be completely immersed in the game’s realism. Dart Rage puts you in the spotlight as you compete against friends, the computer or both. With four great games to choose from – including 301-901, Cricket, Poker and American (Baseball) darts – Dart Rage has plenty of options to keep the game fresh. There’s also a VS mode in which multiple players can compete at the same time in a race to the finish. Rock out to a sizzling soundtrack as a commentator announces your every shot.

Happy Hammerin’
Publisher: GAMEBRIDGE
Players: 1-4
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Cartoon Violence
Price: 500 Wii Points

Use the Wii Remote like a hammer and let off some steam as you frantically try to bash the moles popping up all over the screen. Play against the CPU or go head-to-head with up to four players. (Additional accessories are required for the multiplayer modes and are sold separately.) Players can challenge themselves in three different modes: Mole Adventure (1-2 players), Mole Marathon (1 player) and Party Battle (1-4 players). Mole Adventure consists of four stages with three difficulty types. The faster you bash, the more points you get. With broadband Internet access, register your scores online and compete against the best mole bashers from around the world.

Also, three characters from the original Fatal Fury (Duck, Dan and Geese) have returned to the fight. Building on the appeal of the previous game with two-line battles, special moves and powerful finishers, this game is truly worthy of its “special” distinction. And if certain special conditions are met, special guest Ryuu Sakazaki will make an appearance.

There’s something strange going on with the loo in cubicle four of the girls’ toilet. It’s spewed green goo on Stacey’s shoes and almost had new boy James for lunch. Can he and his friends, Alexander and Lenny, flush out the cause of the trouble, or will the terrifying toilet plague the school with problems forever?

So, is there DLC for MM10? I recall hearing several of 9's DLC-only features were standard options in 10.

What the hell was James doing in the girls' toilets?
 
I'll have to check my Wii Points balance, but I'm probably getting MM 10 soon, if not today. Remember to set your Wii to 4:3...

And here I thought I was gonna only be spending 1000 points today. Too bad. And I shouldn't be fixing PR releases but nobody shits on Fatal Fury Special while I'm around.
 
Mega Man 10!

Fantastic news!

To think I almost didn't check this today because I knew when Cave Story was coming.

day 1.
 
Definitely buying Mega Man 10.

The biggest surprise is another NeoGeo game! While FF Special doesn't look like something I would enjoy, it does however give me hope that NoA hasn't completely abandoned that console.
 
Good to see Mega Man 10 out, feels to me like it was only just recently announced and now here it is already.

Unlike a certain other WiiWare game. >_>

Only a few more weeks...... (maybe).
 
i tried the max and the magic marker demo on their website (maxandthemagicmarker.com) and i'm sold. i may pick up the pc version since my tv is all screwy... it also costs more, and i'm sure the cash goes straight to the devs.
 
Dumb question: the first Contra isn't on VC? I swear I had seen it on there. I wanted to buy it but can't find it now. Did they take it out? Was it never there? Super C is on there. Why not Contra?

Nope, Contra has never been there. I'm not sure why, given that we've had Super C and Contra III for a long time.
 
Man fuck NoE, still no Dark Void :/

So anyone get that plane game yet on DSi? How is it?
 
Downloaded Mega Man 10 (very good so far), Mega Man III and finally decided to get Space Invaders Get Even (well, I wanted it when it was released but it's a huge game and that was about 4 months before the SD update and then my backlog got bigger). Will post impressions of Get Even as soon as I have played it and tried at least one of the extra mission/ship packs (Raystorm and Darius DLC ftw over my wallet).

Sorry man, Get Even is pretty meh. Easy and short. Quirky, but it didn't really keep any level of interest for me. I hope you enjoy it more than I did.
 
^^^

I dunno, it got pretty good reviews ranging in the 8s so I'm staying optimistic that it'll at least be a fun diversion for me as a shmup fan. I forgot the additional packs are 500 points each though! I heard it was originally supposed to be a disc budget title, hence why the large file sizes.
 
Yeah, and review scores are blah blah blah lol

I didn't really think it was too much of a "shump" to be honest. It has similarities, but it's really just a looser kind of shooter. It's up to you though, I just wanted to let you know as someone who was looking forward to it, that I was let down.

It's what's called a CPAP and it's basically intended to pump a continuous stream of air in through a pair of prongs in the nostrils, keeping air flowing through and helping inflate her lungs. She's off it now though :-)

he/she needed to breath in space, you know! It's a real little cosmonaut from day 1 :D

Heh :-)

Even better than the fact that both girls arrived safe and seem to be doing well was that due to a quirk of timing, one was born half an hour before midnight and the other half an hour after, so they have separate birthdays.

(...and the 8-and-a-bit month wait for them to arrive has given me plenty of practice for dealing with the Virtual Console release schedule!)
