Nintendo releases four new titles spanning DSi and Nintendo Wii.
By Bryn Williams | April 13, 2009

As promised a few weeks ago, Nintendo has scrapped its Wii-kly Download newsletter in favor of a new “Nintendo Download” letter which now incorporates both the Nintendo DSi and the Nintendo Wii. There are two pieces of DSiWare this week: Mixed Messages from Activision and Master of Illusion Express: Shuffle Games from Nintendo.

Wii owners get one new piece of WiiWare in the form of Tomy’s Party Fun Pirate and an old platformer hits the Virtual Console: Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure from the Sega Genesis.

The new Nintendo DSi system has been on store shelves for just a week now. Today Activision’s Mixed Messages becomes the first third-party downloadable game for the new system. Mixed Messages is a game of electronic telephone that can accommodate a whopping 21 players. On the WiiWare side, fans will find a game based on the popular Pop-Up Pirate toy that might have players sticking virtual swords into their Mii characters. And classic character Pitfall Harry Jr. makes his debut on the Virtual Console.

Nintendo adds new titles to the Nintendo DSi Shop and the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time on Mondays. Users with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points or Nintendo DSi Points to download the games.

Nintendo will continue to release new digital content for both its platforms on a weekly basis.
