NintendiLife - For many years, even before the heady days of Mario is Missing, gaming has given something back to the community in the form of educational titles. Whilst rarely excellent in the traditional entertainment sense, they aim to integrate fun challenges with learning, thus creating the edutainment sub-genre.
NintendoLife: The Successfully Learning series is becoming one of the most prolific on DSiWare, with Successfully Learning Mathematics: Year 2 now the ninth title on the service. Versions of this mathematical matter have previously been released on WiiWare, but Freddy the Vampire’s campaign to teach all young Nintendo gamers through edutainment means that, once again, we’re going back to the classroom.
Nintendo is kicking off the New Year with a wide array of new videogames, software and demos available to download from the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo DSi Shop and the Wii Shop Channel. Today’s new releases include Sunsoft’s Trip World and the eagerly awaited 3D Classics Kid Icarus.
