Nintendo Download -- 'chick, chick, BOOM' edition

In chick chick BOOM, you throw pianos, pink elephants and sumo chicks or summon slimy giant jellyfish and real UFOs.
I think that pretty much sums it up for this post-Christmas-pre-New Year update. Also available- Fighter's History Dynamite for the Virtual Console.



Count Down to 2011 with New Game Downloads for Nintendo Systems
 
Confetti and noisemakers are essential to any New Year’s Eve bash, but don’t forget to stock up on new downloadable games that’ll keep the fun going as the clock hits midnight. The WiiWare service welcomes chick chick BOOM, an irreverent action game involving everything from UFOs to corncobs. Wii owners can also download a demo version of the award-winning game Max & the Magic Marker for zero Wii Points. For fans of classic console action, two games from the NEOGEO era are available on the Virtual Console service: FIGHTER’S HISTORY DYNAMITE and MAGICAL DROP III. And for Nintendo DSi users, G.G Series Z•ONE and DodoGo! Challenge bring new shooting thrills and egg-saving puzzle action to the Nintendo DSiWare service. Pop the cork on these great games and ring in the New Year with a smile.
