If you've been keeping up with the flood of Nintendo news this morning, you'll know that Cave Story hits WiiWare on March 22nd (http://kotaku.com/5479281/cave-story-finally-comes-to-wiiware-in-march), but the WiiWare party starts on March 1st, when Capcom's Mega Man 10 makes the scene. Then on the 8th, Max & the Magic Marker arrives, charging players to use their Wii remote as a drawing tool, helping Max reach his ultimate goal, whatever that might be. Maybe he really wants to play Cave Story. Rounding out March we have WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, a standalone WarioWare title featuring interoperability with WarioWare D.I.Y. on the Nintendo DS.
Two new WiiWare Art Style titles also make the lineup for early 2010. Rotozoa features a tiny creature that absorbs tiny colored organisms through its tentacles to grow larger, and Art Style: light trax features a techno-music backed race between colored light beams, which sounds a great deal like

This spring will also see the release of Ghostfire Game's Rage of the Gladiator and a port of gorgeous PC puzzle platformer And Yet It Moves from Broken rules. Then, come the summer, we'll be treated to Super Meat Boy! (http://kotaku.com/5468754/mile-marker-27-super-meat-boy), which needs no introduction.

DSiWare explodes this year with the spring release of Nintendo's Photo Dojo, a fighting game in which you take photos of yourself, record sounds, and then become a character in a side-scrolling beat-em up. Sounds like an interesting use for that DSi camera we've been poking at for months.
Spring also brings Nintendo's Metal Torrent to DSiWare, a multiplayer shooter involving converting your opponent's bullets to cubes to increase your score, and X-Scape, also from Nintendo, which is an exploratory adventure involving exploring more than 20 planets, navigating 3D tunnels, and fighting giant robots.
It looks like Nintendo has a fine lineup coming, at least for the first half of the year. Things are beginning to look up for the weekly Nintendo Download.
