Nintendownloads - 6/29/09

This week's downloads explore Nintendo's love for watersports. On WiiWare Nintendo starts things off with Water Warfare from Hudson, which takes a standard FPS deathmatch and replaces all the guns with water guns to make it kid-friendly. If that aquatic action is too fast-paced for you then there's also Reel Fishing Challenge from Natsume with both challenge modes and a relaxing free play fishing mode. Or if you want to avoid the water entirely then Nintendo is offering Silver Star Reversi, which brings the popular reversi (or often called Othello) game to your Wii.

Those looking for some more retro gaming in their life won't be crying when they see Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa released on the virtual console. And handheld gamers get a treat of their own on the DSi with Sudoku Master, which seems like the perfect game for the handheld.

HIt the jump for the full descriptions of each of the games.

WiiWare

Water Warfare

Players: 1-8
ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Cartoon Violence
Price: 800 Wii Points
Description: Water Warfare is a comical first-person shooter that uses water guns to battle and soak opponents. A map with a particular theme - Playground, Beach, Plaza or Nature Park - is generated automatically when the game begins, so you can think up new strategies each time you engage. Game modes include Single Player Missions, CPU Match and 2-Player Split Screen. On top of that, players with broadband Internet access can use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to battle with up to eight players from around the world, or participate in Ranking Mode.

ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)

Description: Reel Fishing Challenge offers a fun and challenging experience for novice fishers and master anglers alike. Put your skills to the test and discover new types of fish in the challenging mission mode, or relax and enjoy the game at your own pace in free play mode. No matter which mode you play, the game's beautiful graphics and natural setting bring the fishing experience to life. Choose from a variety of lures to attract and hook the game's numerous fish. Each fish looks and moves like the real thing - it's the closest you can get to real-life fishing without putting on your waders.

Silver Star Reversi
Publisher: Agetec, Inc.
Players: 1-2
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)

During each match, you can also redo your last move, save the game at any point, or resign from the game.
