Nintendo is offering two new WiiWare games and one new DSiWare game today.
Let's Catch, the Yuji Naka Wii accompaniment to Let's Tap, we know a bit about. It's based on the game of catch, but twists the formula to fit various mini-games. Pictures and videos on the Let's Tap WiiWare site help explain.
Icarian: Kindred Spirits is the other WiiWare title. This follows Nyx, a lovely winged girl who is trying to find Icarus. She'll fly, aim and shoot through Ancient Greece-themed platform levels, getting by with a little help from the Gods - whose powers can be unleashed by shaking the Wiimote, which you can also enlist a friend to do for you. Find out more on the Icarian: Kindred Spirits site.
Both Let's Catch and Icarian: Kindred Spirits cost 1000 Nintendo Points, which is roughly GBP 7 or EUR 10. Points bought online and points bought on cards in shops differ slightly in price.
The DSiWare game is the catchily named A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Maths Edition. It's largely a reproduction of Brain Training's maths game, although there are new features added and some extra problems to solve. At 800 Nintendo Points (around GBP 6 / EUR 8) the price may be a little high, however.
