Gaming Target examines Nintendo's Art Style series, the latest attempt at bringing experimental and avant-garde game design to the downloadable realm. From the article:
"Nintendo is a company not above resting on its laurels. As games continue to rise in cost, new and unproven intellectual properties are the first games to get dropped. So it should come as no surprise that the company making the most profit is content to use its established brands for all they are worth in the console space. The relatively new downloadable game realm, on the other hand, is slightly different. Familiar faces still do well but with lower consequences for failure, even a company as conservative as Nintendo can afford to take some chances. Enter their newest series: Art Style, cheap experimental puzzles games for your internet-enabled Nintendo systems."
Four new games are available for Club Nintendo members to spend their points on. Highlighting the bunch is the SNES classic, Super Mario RPG.
Digitally Downloaded writes: "The Wii had a bit of a reputation for being a console of shovelware and great Nintendo first-party titles, but the reality is that there were a lot of great releases that flew under the radar."
