The well-received “Dark Void Zero” from Capcom lands onto DSi’s in Europe and other PAL territories today, so if you are looking for a sweet platform-shooter you know what to do. If you don’t have a DSi then worry not, Capcom have your back with “Mega Man 10” on WiiWare. We take it you have a Wii, right? Oh good!
Other games this week in the Nintendo Download include “Bit.Trip Void” and “Real Football 2010” among others.
Hit the link for the full list.
There’s 8 new downloadables this week for NTSC gamers, including the quality “Let’s Golf” for DSi and “Mega Man 10” on WiiWare. Mega Man is sporting a new ‘Easy Mode’ to help make it more accessible to new gamers unfamiliar with the usual hardcore difficulty level associated with the Mega Man franchise.
This is a great idea as if you only have a medium skill level like me, you’d probably end up screaming at/beating up your TV from the sheer frustration of how damn hard it is!

Nintendo of Europe have set release dates for the major titles shown from yesterdays North American media summit. These are below.
I think Nintendo realised that their first party software line-up over the last 18 months has been weak and comments echoing that were forthcoming from Satoru Iwata late last year. It looks like he and his company are working hard to rectify that this year.
- Monster Hunter Tri – April 23
- WarioWare: D.I.Y. (and Showcase) – April 30
- Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies – May 7
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 – June 11
- Photo Dojo – Spring 2010
- Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Sky – Summer 2010
- FlingSmash – Summer 2010
- Metroid: Other M – Q3 2010
