A topic dedicated to Nintendo Downloads and to keep you updated. It would be updated on a weekly basis, usually Thursdays, I believe.

"It's all change!
Now the 3DS eShop is available, all Nintendo's downloadable store fronts will be updated on Thursdays. That means WiiWare, DSiWare and 3DS software will all go live on Thursday, with press releases on the same day.
Here is a partial list of confirmed titles announced for today. Nintendo is yet to divulge the full list, but when we hear more we'll update this post.
Wii Virtual Console
Mega Man 5 (Capcom, NES, 500pts) — The Blue Bomber is back once again, charging his Mega Buster for more side-scrolling action in Mega Man 5. We'll do the review duties shortly.
WiiWare
Snail Mail (Sandlot Games, 600pts) — This strange game looks like a cross between classic tube shooter Tempest and a racing game, and could either be a pleasant surprise or a total washout. Check out our review next week to find out which it is.
DSiWare
Gold Fever (DSi: 500pts, 3DS eShop: $4.99) — A decent puzzle game for DSiWare, this one might not be worth its weight in gold but it's certainly not a bad way to spend 500 Points or, if you're a 3DS user, $4.99 from your virtual wallet. Read our Gold Fever review for more.
Zimo: Mahjong Fanatic (DSi: 200pts, eShop: $1.99) — Unlike other mahjong games are that simple match-two affairs, this promises a more accurate representation of the game. We'll see how it shapes up in our review later this week.
Beach Party Craze (DSi: 800pts, eShop: $7.99) — There's no party craze like a beach party craze, apparently. This game sees you running a resort, hoping to keep your punters happy and entertained over 50 levels. We'll see if this is a five-star getaway or a grotty dive soon.
Hidden Photo (DSi: 500pts, eShop: $4.99) — A puzzle game that doesn't involve lining objects up, this is a cross between a hidden object game and a series of brainteasers. We'll have a full review soon.
3DS Virtual Console
Donkey Kong (Game Boy, $TBC) — The classic platformer returns on Game Boy, otherwise known as Donkey Kong '94. One of the best versions of the game available, we'll have a full review for you shortly.
Nintendo Download Gets a Makeover, Adds Nintendo eShop Content on June 16
Sometimes you just need to shake things up to keep them interesting. That’s especially true with the recent launch of the Nintendo eShop, a new virtual store that gives Nintendo 3DS™ users access to a wide variety of downloadable games and select content that can be viewed in 3D without the need for special glasses. To mark the debut of the Nintendo eShop – and provide consumers with a valuable one-stop showcase of all the latest downloadable content across Nintendo systems – the weekly Nintendo Download is about to get a makeover.
Starting June 16, the Nintendo Download will include information about the newest additions to the Nintendo eShop, including new 3D games, 3D Classics (select classic video games re-mastered in 3D), Virtual Console™ versions of games from the Game Boy™ and Game Boy Color systems, and hundreds of games originally offered via the Nintendo DSiWare™ service. What’s more, this modified weekly update will be posted Thursdays instead of Mondays, giving fans a heads-up on the latest offerings just in time for the weekend.
Loyal readers can rest assured that the Nintendo Download will continue to feature the latest items for the WiiWare™, Nintendo DSiWare and Wii Virtual Console services, highlighting the ever-growing variety of instantly downloadable games and entertainment for Nintendo systems. Likewise, content will continue to be added to the Wii Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi Shop on a weekly basis, also on Thursdays."

I'll update as we get more downloads to keep you entertained. I'm looking forward to Donkey Kong from GB, even if it's played the same way from Game & Watch.
