Nintendo adds new titles to the Nintendo DSi Shop and the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. This week's new games include the classic "Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure."
Nintendo DSiWare
Mixed Messages (2-21 players, 500 Nintendo DSi Points): Sketch a picture to capture your friends' sentence, or try to figure out what they've drawn. Two to 21 players take turns writing sentences and drawing pictures to pass along a message. This isn't a game about winning and losing - it's about the funny miscommunications that happen along the way.
Master of Illusion Express: Shuffle Games (1 player, 200 Nintendo DSi Points): Master of Illusion Express titles are magic tricks pulled from the full-length Nintendo DS game. Also included is the bonus Vanishing Card trick.
WiiWare
Party Fun Pirate (1-4 players, 500 Wii Points): Based on the Pop-Up Pirate toy, players take turns thrusting swords into a barrel that holds your captain captive, trying to see who can insert the most swords into the barrel. Thrust a sword into the wrong hole and you'll send your captain flying, which means it's game over for you. You can also swap out the captain and replace him with your custom Mii character.
Virtual Console
Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure is a side-scrolling action game in which you play adventurer Pitfall Harry Jr. in search of his father, Pitfall Harry. Pitfall Harry has been taken captive by the warrior spirit Zakelua: Lord of Evil. Armed with only a sling and his father's journal, young Harry Jr. must now venture into the unknown to rescue him.
