 This week in Nintendo Downloads brings four new titles with one for DSiWare, two for WiiWare, and a single title for the long-running Virtual Console.    


Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! is yet another Nintendo title for the service and the sequel to the retail DS game, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. Minis March Again features the same crew found in the last game, Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong. Mario and Pauline are throwing a party to celebrate the opening of their Super Mini Mario World theme park. Donkey Kong shows up late and is denied entry. In a fit of rage, he kidnaps Pauline, and Mario and his minis must once again save her. Players can now share their created levels via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection as well. Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and is available now through the DSi Shop for 800 Nintendo DSi Points ($8).    


Swords & Soldiers, this week's first WiiWare title, has finally made its way to US shores. This 2D strategy title has players commanding an army and its magic in a quest for world domination. Players can either tackle the single player mode or face off against friends in the local multiplayer. Swords & Soldiers is rated E10+ by the ESRB and is available now through the Wii Shop Channel for 1000 Wii Points ($10).    


Fish'em All is this week's last WiiWare title and it stars Jack and Walter who are on a fishing trip in a fantasy world. In this arcade-style game, players will be able to partake in the game's three modes, Arcade, Challenge and Fishtris, either alone or with a friend. Fish'em All is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and is available now through the Wii Shop Channel for 800 Wii Points ($8).    


This week's final game comes to us on the Virtual Console and originally appeared on the SNES. Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Grey Wolf puts players in the shoes of Gengis Khan in two unique scenarios. Players must engage in diplomacy, forge alliances, and organize their troops in order to defend the prosperity of their empire, all while spreading your dominance to all four corners of the known world. Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Grey Wolf is rated E10+ by the ESRB and is available now through the Wii Shop Channel for 800 Wii Points ($8).    


Nintendo Download: March, Fight and Fish Your Way to World Domination

With this weekÂ’s additions to the Nintendo DSi Shop™ and Wii™ Shop Channel, fun truly comes in all shapes and sizes. A new Mario vs. Donkey Kong™ title on Nintendo DSiWare™ features miniature versions of the worldÂ’s most famous video game icon, while a pair of fresh WiiWare™ releases invite players to wield a fishing rod or storm a sprawling battlefield.

As your rivals look enviously upon your domain, you must struggle to weather the assaults of your opponents and carve out a living for your people. Engage in diplomacy to forge alliances and organize your troops to defend the prosperity of your empire.
