My favorite games for Nintendo systems (whether it was Nintendo who made them or not).
Star Soldier R (WiiWare download)(Official site): If you know exactly how much time you have to kill, this shooter game comes in quite handy! Just select "Start Game", then choose whether you'll play for two minutes or five minutes, and the action will begin. But within the game's short time span, there are many ways to increase your score and two ways to increase the power of your spaceship. No matter how many times you play this game, there's always the challenge of getting a better score next time. Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii(Official site): Plenty of characters, a fully-fledged story, and literally dozens of unlockables. Sounds like a game I won't tire of for a while. If you're familiar with Super Smash Bros. Melee, the gameplay is basically the same, except that Air Dodges can no longer nudge your position or stop you from using further moves, and other minor changes like that. Oh, and one MAJOR change: Smash Balls, which enable you to perform super-powerful special attacks. If you're not familiar with any Smash Bros. games, you won't have much trouble finding someone who does. It's that sort of game. Professor Layton and the Curious Village for Nintendo DS(Official site): Actually, this isn't much more than a glorified puzzle book. But what a collection of puzzles it is! There are simple puzzles and brain-busting puzzles. There are straightforward puzzles, and annoying puzzles with oddly-worded instructions. There are number puzzles and picture puzzles. Everyone can find some puzzles they'll love, and if you use Wi-Fi you can get even more puzzles. What makes this game so much fun? That's not a very puzzling question.
