May’s free Club Nintendo downloadable games (for the U.S.), for those of you who have Coins to cash in.
Skip’s Art Style: PictoBits for DSiWare is definitely the standout title here, being one of the most fun puzzlers I’ve played in recent memory (and that music!). The two WiiWare games, Snowpack Park and Echo Shooter: Plan 530, are from Skip and Intelligent Systems respectively, so I’m sure fans of those studios will want to own those too, if just to keep their collections up to date.

Flip the Core for DSiWare. So it’s a shmup, but one in which you can rotate the perspective, Fez style? I’m having a panic attack thinking about it.
Engine Software has submitted the game to Nintendo. There’s no release date info yet.

Reports are coming in from the new Nintendo Power, stating that Wayforward’s rad 3DS eShop puzzle platformer Mighty Switch Force will see five new levels added soon as a free update — thanks to 3DS’s support for patches/updates that should come tomorrow.
The same issue also outs an “upgraded” version of Cave Story for eShop, which, if I’m reading correctly, is like the DSiWare version (the non-polygonal one) with widescreen, 3D, and the extra modes from other versions of the game, like Curly, WInd Fortress, and more.
Apparently, this version will lead to the removal of the DSiWare version from 3DS’s eShop, too (but not from the DSi Shop). Nicalis has a ton of stuff going on right now…

Ketzal’s Corridors trailer. Like its WiiWare predecessor ThruSpace, this is a weird collaboration between Nintendo and Japanese peripheral company Keys Factory. I still don’t get that. Keys Factory decided to make, like, one game ever (and then a 3DS version of basically the same game).
This is out on the 3DS eShop today, along with the DSiWare game Anne’s Doll Studio: Tokyo Collection. Don’t worry, I have a trailer for that too!

More free games for Club Nintendo U.S. members — the latest batch includes Arika’s DSiWare shoot’em up Metal Torrent, as well as two WiiWare titles, ExciteBike: World Rally and You, Me & The Cubes. I was hoping for another free 3DS Virtual Console game, but you can’t really complain about free stuff without looking like a jerk…

Ace Mathician trailer. I failed to post this in a timely manner, but here it is now anyway! And in the intervening time… I still haven’t figured out how this game works. Something about turning graphs of equations into platforms?
Even without knowing what the hell’s happening, this game by Goodbye Galaxy Games (Flipper) still looks more interesting than most other upcoming DSiWare.

Hugo Smits, the fellow behind the Flipper games on DSiWare, has another strange title on the way for the platform: Ace Mathician, a math-based platformer puzzler thing. It reminds me of Scribblenauts but with equations.
If you’re terrible at math, don’t let the concept scare you off, as there aren’t any actual right or wrong answers in Ace Mathician. As Smits puts it, the formulas and puzzles here “[help] the player visualize the math, which works much better as a learning tool.”

Club Nintendo halves free game offerings. I was impressed that Nintendo was giving away a free game for each of its download platforms (eShop, DSiWare, WiiWare, Virtual Console) through its U.S. reward program during the past couple of months, but this time around it only has two titles available.
If you’ve registered enough games with Club Nintendo to earn 150 coins, you’ll be able to pick up Art Academy: First Semester for DSiWare (but only downloadable for 3DS owners) and Mario Party 2 for Virtual Console. It’s difficulty to justify arguing with free games, but neither of these are terribly exciting, and we’ve been spoiled by Club Nintendo’s recent selections.
At least now you can get this snazzy game case that we’ve written about before for 250 Coins.

Anne’s Doll Studio: Gothic, a new DSiWare game released today by Gamebridge. DSiWare has reached that magical point in a console/service’s lifecycle when any random game is snapped up for localization by someone — in this case, the app is Atelier Deco La Doll: Gothic, which released in Japan last year.
Too bad its contemporary, Make and Sing Monkey Band, didn’t come along! Instead, the eShop today offers EnjoyUp’s Gaia’s Moon (DSiWare) and Data East’s Lock ‘n’ Chase (Virtual Console). And, of course, the Resident Evil Revelations 3DS demo arrives as promised.

Go Series: Undead Storm, a top-down zombie shooting game for DSiWare (what). European publisher Gamebridge didn’t use my proposed title of Zombierrhea Panic, even though I just left it out there for the taking. Missed opportunity!
Gamebridge is releasing this co-op shooter in “early 2012” for 200 DSi Points.

Club Nintendo (U.S.) updated its selection of downloadable games, which you can grab by trading in the coins you receive from registering titles you’ve purchased.
The new rewards include Kirby’s Dream Land (3DS Virtual Console), Dr. Mario Express (DSiWare), Dr. Mario Online RX (Wii), and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (Wii Virtual Console), all available until January 31, when Nintendo will introduce a new set of games.

Nintendo’s early 2012 U.S. release schedule
Nintendo just put out its North American launch schedule covering all its platforms for the first quarter of 2012. It’s not as promising as the European slate — which has The Last Story, Pandora’s Tower, and Inazuma Eleven 2 — but that seems to be the pattern lately. At least we’re getting Kirby’s Block Ball and Jett Rocket Super Surf on eShop.
The 3DS’s second analog stick add-on, the Circle Pad Pro, will make its debut in the States on February 7 with an MSRP of $19.99 through GameStop. :o/
We also have a release date now for Kid Icarus: Uprising. Here’s the schedule so far for retail 3DS games:
