What game could Nintendo have possibly chosen as the 500th downloadable title for the Wii? It would have to be something super, yet smashing at the same time. The mind boggles! Okay, I suck at giving subtle hints. The original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 is the 500th downloadable game for the Nintendo Wii. 1,000 Wii points scores you the grandfather of one of the biggest games released on the Wii, or the father of one of the best things going on the GameCube. Between that and the original arcade version of Ninja Gaiden (600 points), which takes place before TECMO mastered breast physics, the Virtual Console could be your best bet in this week’s Nintendo Download.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); That’s not to say there aren’t plenty of titles coming on the WiiWare front this week. You’ve got Nintendo’s first-person shooter Eco-Shooter: Plant 530 (1,000 points), which pits you as a recycling plant worker fighting against an evil alien race that has brought Earth’s empty cans to life. It’s a message about recycling that even lets you recycle a useless piece of plastic – the Wii Zapper. Eco-Shooter is joined by Gameloft’s TV Game-Show King 2 (800 points), Playstos’ action platformer Pallurikio (1,000 points), and Happy Holidays Christmas from 505 Games (500 points), an application that lets you create Christmas cards and send them to your Wii friends. Aww. Finally we have DSiWare, with Dragon’s Lair making it’s downloadable debut (800 DSi points), High Stakes: Texas Hold’Em (500 points) and Hot and Cold: A 3D Hidden Object Adventure (800 points) filling in the H category, and My Notebook Green (200 points) adding green to the colors that My Notebook comes in. As always, check out the official descriptions below, and be sure to log into the Wii Shop Channel to wish it a happy 500th game. Virtual Console Super Smash Bros.
