I already have Rayman on the PSP so I don't think I'll redownload it when I get a DSi, but who knows I may feel like playing Rayman on my DSi more than the PSP. The new features are a nice incentive, but nothing that'd throw me over the edge and replace the PSP version(it'd be a nice decision maker for those who don't own no other version though).

UpdateI was very surprised to see the first Rayman game hit DSiWare. I had been interested in Shinobi and might download it sooner or later.
Rayman took me by surprise as well. I guess it just slipped under the radar somehow. This is a remake of the original Rayman and it's supposed to use the touch screen and even the DSi Camera somehow so that has me interested. I think the game is only $5.99 on PSN, but this new 800 point DSi version apparently has some new features. I have the original arcade Shinobi on the Ultimate Genesis collection and I think it's decent, but pales in comparison to the later games in the series.
Oh it's on that collection? I guess I won't bother then. The collection has several arcade games that can be unlocked (which is easily done) even including the original arcade versions of a few of the Genesis games in the collection.

11 New Downloads Blast Their Way to Nintendo Systems
2009-12-14
The first of this week's new Virtual Console releases gives new meaning to the term "underground legend," sending players down a mysterious manhole for a classic subterranean adventure. Another fine addition to the Virtual Console section of the Wii Shop Channel features the iconic hero Earthworm Jim in a fun-packed sequel from the SEGA Genesis era. For the Nintendo DSiWare service, a slate of five new games includes everything from the pets of LITTLEST PET SHOP to animated puzzles, cooking and magic tricks. For fans of the WiiWare service, fast-paced stunt driving and Moki-herding mayhem are among the latest arrivals. Whether you're downloading for yourself or seeking cool, convenient gifts for everyone on your holiday list, look no further than the Wii Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi Shop for instant gratification.
Virtual Console Blaster Master Original platform: NES Publisher: Sunsoft Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Mild Fantasy Violence Price: 500 Wii Points Description: The New York sewers were never like this. You've fallen down a hidden manhole into a world of creatures so terrifying they'd scare the rats away. You can panic and perish, or blast your way through an endless maze of tunnels in search of secret passages to your escape. Masters of the Caverns lay waiting - prehistoric creatures so powerful and gigantic they literally fill your screen. Load your arsenal and get ready for Blaster Master.
Earthworm Jim 2 Original platform: SEGA Genesis Publisher: Interplay Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Cartoon Violence Price: 800 Wii Points Description: Superhero annelid Jim and his new sidekick, Snott, are back for an off-the-wall sequel in Earthworm Jim 2. Containing more action than your standard platformer from the Genesis era, each stage has a different style and mission, drawing on game play from different genres, including mazes, trivia contests and arcade-style levels. The game also features music composed by Tommy Tallarico. Do you have what it takes to rescue the Princess?
Nintendo DSiWare LITTLEST PET SHOP Publisher: Electronic Arts Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 800 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Experience your favorite LITTLEST PET SHOP pets in a whole new way on your Nintendo DSi system. Play catch with your pets and their favorite toys, dress them up in adorable new accessories and keep them happy by brushing and feeding them. You can even throw a little dance party for your pets and help them rock out to cool songs.
Miami Nights Publisher: Gameloft Players: 1 ESRB Rating: T (Teen) - Comic Mischief, Mild Suggestive Themes, Tobacco Reference, Use of Alcohol Price: 800 Nintendo DSi Points Description: You won't find a more complete life simulation than Miami Nights: Life in the Spotlight. Begin by designing your avatar with an unbelievable level of customizable physical detail. But it's not your physique that counts. Instead, your life choices and your everyday behavior will influence more than 40 attributes that will make you a unique, progressive individual. The city of Miami is presented to you with no fewer than 30 places to explore. Plus, you'll be able to customize your entire home and interact with your environment in many ways. The most important part of the game play lies in how you interact with other characters. They will be the ones who'll help you achieve your goals. You'll be able to establish and break off different types of relationships with them. It's up to you to act like a bad guy or sweet girl, make friends or enemies, and choose the best way - honest or otherwise - to make your dreams become a reality.
Bejeweled Twist Publisher: PopCap Games Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Spin, match, explode - it's a brilliant new way to play. Spin and match explosive gems for shockwaves of fun in this quick-play version of the award-winning PopCap game. Rotate jewels to set up electrifying combos, outwit obstacles like Locks and Bombs, and create high-voltage Flame and Lightning gems. Play the intensely fun Classic mode or take on a friend in the exclusive Nintendo DS Battle mode. No matter how you play, you'll find endless ways to win.
Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam Publisher: Virtual Toys Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Comic Mischief Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Have you ever asked yourself what it would feel like to be among the stoves of the best restaurants in the world? Do you want to become the best chef there is, preparing scrumptious dishes? Jump right in and enter the world of Yummy Yummy and its mixture of flavors and aromas. In Yummy Yummy, you'll have to satisfy the hunger of the most diverse, colorful set of diners: vampires, extraterrestrials, mafia thugs, Vikings and more. Prepare hot dogs, hamburgers, pizzas and Mexican burritos as quickly as you can before your customers get tired of waiting and decide to leave the restaurant without giving you a good tip. Roll up your sleeves, don your chef's hat and have a great time.
Master of Illusion Express: Matchmaker Publisher: Nintendo Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Master of Illusion Express titles feature mind-boggling magic tricks that you can perform with your Nintendo DSi system. Learn the illusions, practice up and amaze your friends. Master of Illusion Express: Matchmaker includes two tricks that use your Nintendo DSi system to reveal information about others. Use the Photo Diagnosis trick and stun others by taking two simple photos to pinpoint their exact age. Or have the Matchmaker trick show that another person has favorite dates or favorite foods that are similar to yours. Who knows? You could even land a date or make a new friend.
WiiWare Stunt Cars Publisher: Icon Games Entertainment Players: 1-4 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 800 Wii Points Description: Stunt Cars takes place on elevated racetracks with very little to stop players from accidentally driving off the side. Turbo can be used to make a car go faster, but it can only be used for a limited amount of time in each race. As you progress through the game's four championship cups, you'll unlock special features such as driver achievement awards.
Diatomic Publisher: Grendel Games Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Mild Fantasy Violence Price: 800 Wii Points Description: Diatomic is a fast retro-arcade action game that takes place inside a set of petri dishes. The safe confines of your petri dish are about to be invaded by nine different diatomic creatures that seek to destroy you. Armed with your shield, tail, strategic intelligence and good reflexes, you stand a good chance of defeating the overwhelming odds. You must stay alive during 65 hectic stages spread over five chapters. The high score list shows what kind of player you are. Playing defensively and gaining an all-out defensive high score is harder to pull off than gaining an all-out offensive high score.
Moki Moki Publisher: Natsume Inc. Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Comic Mischief Price: 800 Wii Points Description: It's a mind-bending, gravity-defying puzzler. The Moki are being devoured by the voracious Gromblins, and it's up to you to guide the hapless little guys to safety. Bend, twist and rotate the environment to herd the Moki through a series of brain-teasing puzzles. Along the way, you'll have to contend with deadly pitfalls, spinning blades and shifting gravity. Roll Moki down ramps, grab them with hooks and blast them with jets to guide them safely to the portals. Challenge your skills in 100 unique levels.
Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH Publisher: Two Tribes Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 600 Wii Points Description: Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH is a 3-D puzzle game with more than 70 challenging levels. Players need to guide Cubes to color-coded exit points. Using the Wii Remote controller's intuitive controls, players herd the colored cubes along by using Conveyer Belts, Warps, Stop Signs, Directional Signs and Splits. RUSH also includes the original Rubik's Cube as a bonus. Players can attempt to solve one of the four different-sized Cubes alone, compete against a second player or learn how to solve the classic Rubik's Cube.
Woah, another great week. A large number of games added, but the highlight here is on the Virtual Console; not only did we get Blaster Master, but Earthworm Jim 2! What a pleasant surprise!

I was holding out on getting the first EWJ since the remake is coming soon, but I should try getting the second one some time soon. The Wiiware games don't interest me much except for Diatomic but a big week is always a nice week.

EWJ is a rip-off on VC since you can get the PC versions of 1 and 2 together for $6 on GOG. Heck, it's even a rip-off on Steam. ($20 for 1, 2, and 3D)

NINTENDO DOWNLOAD: 500TH DOWNLOADABLE WII GAME MAKES FOR A SMASHING HOLIDAY SEASON
Dec. 21, 2009
Deck the halls with downloadable fun this week as Nintendo offers 11 new games to engage and entertain everyone in the household. Among this week's highlights is the Virtual Console™ debut of the original Super Smash Bros.™ game, bringing the total of downloadable games for the WiiWare™ and Virtual Console services to a fabulous 500 and featuring a host of beloved characters from across the Nintendo universe. New WiiWare offerings include the Earth-conscious action game Eco Shooter: Plant 530™ and a sequel to the quiz-lovers' favorite TV Show King. For Nintendo DSiWare™ fans, fresh arrivals include hand-held versions of the card-table classic UNO™ and the pioneering arcade game Dragon's Lair®. For rollicking multiplayer fun, mellow single-player diversions and everything in-between, Nintendo's got you covered for the holidays and beyond.
Virtual Console
Super Smash Bros. Original platform: Nintendo 64™ Publisher: Nintendo Players: 1-4 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Cartoon Violence Price: 1,000 Wii Points Description: Choose from an all-star cast of Nintendo characters in a frantic melee to prove who will be the ultimate brawler. Utilize the easy-to-learn but hard-to-master controls and battle it out in the single-player mode, earning point bonuses and unlocking hidden characters along the way. Enter VS Mode to take on up to three other players simultaneously. Inflict damage using each character's unique set of special moves, familiar items and power-ups, eventually winning by knocking your opponents off the screen in one of the interactive stages, each with a Nintendo theme. Need a moment to catch your breath? Polish your skills in Training Mode or destroy targets in Bonus Stages specific to each character. Are you ready to test your mettle against all comers, including the powerful Master Hand?
NINJA GAIDEN™ Original platform: Arcade Publisher: TECMO Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Alcohol Reference, Suggestive Themes, Violence Price: 600 Wii Points Description: Take control of a ninja, master of the Five Ninja Fighting Arts of assassination passed down since the chaotic times of feudal Japan, and enter "Jungle," a terrifying American city, to crush waves of foes who are part of an assassination syndicate. Use three buttons to execute exciting moves like the Flying Neck Throw, the Hang Kick and the Triple Blow Combination. Each stage is based around popular Western misconceptions about ninja and Japan, making the game world a fantastic mix of ninja and American pop culture. Game settings such as the starting number of player characters and the difficulty level can also be adjusted.
WiiWare
Eco Shooter: Plant 530 Publisher: Nintendo Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Fantasy Violence Price: 1,000 Wii Points™ Description: Earth's empty cans have been brought to life by the Cannoids, an alien race determined to destroy the planet. Only Mack, a technician from the recycling facility Plant 530, stands in their way as Earth's last line of defense. Step into Mack's shoes in this guided first-person shooter as he takes on the invading aliens with only his trusty recycle cannon and a can-do attitude. Blast and vacuum (yes, vacuum) your way to victory, keeping in mind that every shot counts. Your ammo also doubles as your health, and every enemy you destroy leaves behind Can Energy that you can vacuum up and use as ammo. Uncomplicated controls (including optional use of the Wii Zapper™ accessory) give everyone the chance to save the planet, while advanced tactics like consecutive hit combos and the tough Challenge mode give even the best players a run for their money. Are you ready to step up and put a dent in their cans?
TV Show King 2 Publisher: Gameloft Players: 1-4 ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Drug Reference Price: 800 Wii Points Description: TV Show King is back for a second round.

Pallurikio™ Publisher: Playstos Entertainment Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 1,000 Wii Points Description: Jump and roll with Pallurikio, a fast-paced action platformer that's easy to pick up yet challenging to master.

Use the pen or pencil to make your notes or doodles, then erase the bits you don't like. With five ink colors, you'll always be able to make your notes and doodles look stylish.
SMASH BROS.
It's 500 games already? I guess they just started combining VC and WiiWare count. Looks like a good week. Weren't we supposed to get Castlevania Rebirth this month? I guess there's next week. Pilotwings as well. I guess next week will be awesome, but I'd hate to get my hopes up.

While i won't be downloading Smash Bros. any time soon that and everything else sounds like some pretty good additions. I want Eco Shooter and perhaps even TV Show King 2, have to read reviews on that one. Anyone know how good Ninja Gaiden arcade is? It sounds pretty intriguing.

I really don't see why anyone would want the original Smash Bros. The game has NOT aged well.
Its very bland and repetitive compared to either of the sequels. Even in its hay day it was a budget title.

I was ready to bet that we'd get Pilot Wings alongside Smash Bros. today. Guess that'll be next week.
I'm interested in Ninja Gaiden as well.
I also agree with Einar that the first Smash Bros. hasn't aged well but I'd get it eventually for nostalgia.
