Poker, Planes and Platform Games Fuel Players' Ambition
The table is set for card-flipping fun with this week's release of
Clubhouse Games Express: Card Classics on Nintendo DSiWare, while the
new Paper Airplane Chase packs portable challenges for fans of airborne
action. WiiWare users will find Cocoto Platform Jumper, a wildly
imaginative new platformer populated by mysterious creatures. Last but
not least, Nobunaga's Ambition, a classic strategy game from the Super
NES system era, finds its way to the Virtual Console.
