Fighting in the streets
It's that time of the week again: the Nintendo Download is upon us, bestowing a bounty of digital deliciousness, or leaving a sour taste in your mouth. You decide. Here's what's on offer and vying for your currency today.

3DS eShop
3D Classics: Urban Champion (Nintendo, $4.99) -- The NES 'classic' is reborn in a third dimension, with local multiplayer support for two players to boot. We'll rough and tumble with the game and see if it's got the right stuff in an upcoming review.

DSiWare
Zoonies -- Escape from Makatu (Kiloo Games, 500pts/$4.99) -- A rather enjoyable side-scrolling adventure, guide Leo the lion through a treacherous jungle and escape from the titular tribal leader. Read our Zoonies -- Escape from Makatu review for the verdict.
Build-a-Lot (MumboJumbo, price TBC) -- The popular building sim comes back to DS after a retail release back in 2009. The Nintendo site currently lists the game as costing $-.01, but we'll update with a real price when we hear one.
Blockado -- Puzzle Island (Bitfield, 500pts) -- A puzzle game on DSiWare from the developer of Giana Sisters DS, this merges story, puzzles and a tropical island. We'll see if it's a winner soon.

WiiWare
Flight Control (Firemint, 500pts) -- The classic game of guiding planes to safety makes a scheduled stop on WiiWare for just 500 Points. Hopefully it can live up to the series' good name, so we'll see how it fares in a future review.
Nintendo Video
Jason Derulo, It Girl -- Jason Derulo! It's a video featuring everyone's favourite singer of his own name.

UYUYUI! -- No, not the screams of exasperation at yet another DSiWare puzzle game, this is an animation about two children, a picnic and a huge gust of wind.
Duel -- Regrettably this isn't the cinematic directorial debut of one Steven Spielberg, but another video from those College Humor guys about fighting.
