Sparkles, Vikings, Dragons, Carnivals, and Much More..

New Nintendo DSiWare™ application, Sparkle Snapshots™, lets you customize pictures with fun extras like fancy frames and stamps. If that’s not for you, if you’re more of a fan of Nordic pillaging and/or dragons, you’re going to want to check out this week’s Viking Invasion and Battle of Giants: Dragons – Bronze Edition.

Three fun WiiWare™ games are added to the ever-growing library, including Carnival King, which turns your TV into a carnival midway. “Aha! I Got It!” Escape Game where you can play alone or with family and friends to solve this puzzling adventure game. While we’re on family moments, Daddy, Mommy, Sarah and Billy are back for some good ol’ card game action in Family Card Games. Try your hand at one of three card games: Daifugo, Speed or Memory. Family Card Games offers appealing cel-shaded graphics, endearing music and friendly, competitive match-ups

And over on the Virtual Console™ we have a couple quality classics, including Fighting Street®, a port of the original arcade version of STREET FIGHTER and R-TYPE, a classic, side-scrolling arcade shoot-’em-up that was developed by Irem in 1987. It’s the 22nd century, and you are humanity’s last hope against the evil Bydo Empire.
