First of the month and no returns
After today there are just four more Nintendo Downloads left in 2011, so let's see what Nintendo has in store to kick off this final month of the year.
"Expect big things"

Getting ten free NES games as part of the 3DS Ambassador program is good, but for some inexplicable reason the 3DS doesn't take original NES carts.

Five attempts at Mario Kart online and five disconnections. Not a good record so far.
I'll be dressing as a hobo Terry Bogard RT @wyp100: Tomorrow is the first National ‘Dress Like a Videogame Character Day’. Didn't you know?

Nintendo made a lot of sales in the week running up to Black Friday: Mario and Zelda both hit record sales and the company sold over 500,000 Wii consoles in one day. The 3DS also hit a milestone on Saturday, overtaking the entire first-year sales of the Nintendo DS.
