Every Nintendo device is receiving some downloadable content this week, in the form of an eShop original, a DSiWare game, and a WiiWare title.

The Nintendo 3DS's eShop got Zombie Slayer Diox this week. This rhythm based side-scroller action game has players join Diox, a samurai guitarist. In order to destroy the zombies, Diox must use his musical abilities in conjunction with his samurai skills. To see what we thought of the game, check out our review.  Zombie Slayer Diox can be downloaded for $5.99.

Next, 1st Class Poker & BlackJack was added as a DSiWare game. Play many different kinds of poker including Texas Hold’em, Double Flop Hold’em, Omaha, and Pineapple. The game is available now for $4.99.

The last downloadable game this week is Carmen Sandiego Adventures in Math: The Island of Diamonds, available on the WiiWare service. Once again you can join Carmen Sandiego on a mystery, this time involving the theft of five priceless diamonds. The game can be downloaded for 600 Wii Points.

Lastly, a special Swapnote inspired by Nintendo's spokesdog Uggie is available this week. This special Swapnote is free, it just requires the Swapnote application to be installed on your 3DS.

This just might be the worst week in years for downloadables on Nintendo systems.

This would have been the perfect time to bring Of Myths and Monsters to the NA eShop.  We would have had all the KI games on the 3DS at the same time (those who preordered, anyway).  Shucks!

Any week in which there are no virtual console games=fail. There are so many gameboy games I want to play.

There have been worse weeks... but not by much. The games released here are undeniably weak.


That said, there is no lack of good content available.  Why not check out an older game that you might've missed?

So... what's the word - can we buy Kid Icarus 3D Classics or what?

From what I can find, the answer is "no."
