No Mario Tennis of course. Reminds me of one of the reasons I want another console. The Wii Shop Channel barely gets anything I want anymore. I just wish the 360 (and the Wii as well) used actual money instead of space bucks. Though there's still the problem of giving MS your credit card number. Microsoft and Sony's shops are kinda dull on a week to week basis too. Though they have a nice catalog of games already so just now jumping in has the advantage of great games in their back catalog.
Sony disappoints me week in and week out when they release games like Bomberman Racing on PS1 classics and games I've never heard of.
And I comppletely forgot about Mario Tennis, hope that does come soon.

I was wondering about that MS Credit Card deal... I just need a few points and not a whole card but I'm afraid to put my credit card in. Anyone know if there is any problem with doing it just to buy points and not sub?
And if you think about it that way, Nintendo has a great back catalog of games to download, but most of us already bought the ones we wanted as they came out.
Still no Shantae? :p

Yeah I've already downloaded most of the games I want from the Wii Shop Channel. Also, last I checked, Shantae doesn't have a release date yet.
Regarding the credit card issue, this is what scares me. Well, at least Amazon can get good deals on prepaid cards.

You can also buy a lot of the games straight off of Amazon, don't have to buy cards.

Thanks for the tips guys. I certainly won't be giving MS my credit card info after seeing that. Unfortunately I still need points to get Rocket Knight which I really want but I only need like 60 more points not 2000. It's nice that Amazon has them cheaper, so I'll probably buy them that way, too bad they don't offer less than 2000 though. Oh yeah and as I was just mentioning my 360 currently isn't online :p

Nintendo DSiWare

Music on: Retro Keyboard Publisher: Abylight Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Turn your Nintendo DSi system into a full electronic keyboard with a carefully chosen selection of sounds and rhythms from the mythic computers and consoles of the 1980s.

24/7 Solitaire Publisher: cosmigo Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: 24/7 Solitaire features 24 variations of the most widely known and best-loved single-player card games including Klondike, Freecell, Spider, Pyramid, Yukon and seven versions of Peg-Solitaire.

4 TRAVELLERS™ – Play French Publisher: AGENIUS Interactive Players: 1-4 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 800 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Challenge your family and friends in a new digital board game while learning your first words in a new language together. Compete in a foreign hotel where the goal is to acquire objects, money and friends. Strategy and fast learning are essential. The game is suitable for players young and old, and no previous knowledge is necessary. The more you play, the more your French vocabulary increases. The game is perfect to bring on your trip, including more than 240 carefully selected words. I guess this means they have pretty much given up on Virtual Console. We may see a release like maybe once a month, but I'm guessing it's about dead. And when they do release these games, how often is it a game you want? Although I guess it's no big deal for me this week since I got DQIX.
Still no Shantae. Was there ever a release date given?

No, but it has been rated by the ESRB I'm pretty sure. I heard it should be out "soon", hopefully before summer's end.
Also nothing good this week for me.

I didn't know Toribash was coming to WW...and with online play too? Hm. But yeah, Nintendo still isn't giving me a reason to go onto the Wii Shop Channel. (Except for Mario Tennis but I'm not desperate for it) I'm glad I got the Homebrew Channel when I did.

For VC, there are many titles that I still wish they'd add. As for Shantae, NP has been saying "this summer" since... well actually my sub ran out so I don't know what they're saying now
