PALGN Weekly Releases - 30/11/10

PALGN Feature | Did someone say banana?
We are now into the final weeks of the year for video game releases, and the coming days will not disappoint. Nintendo are throwing everything they have into the ring, with big titles on both Nintendo DS and Wii.

On the portable gaming side, Golden Sun DS is released on Thursday. Picking up 30 years after the first two games in the series, the power of the Golden Sun has changed everything. A new threat emerges, and it is up to a new generation of heroes – the children of those from the previous titles – to face the challenge. Two new games are also releasing this week on Wii. The first, Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition, brings together Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels all in the one package. In addition to reliving these classic games, fans can also find a booklet detailing Super Mario’s history and an audio CD containing music from the last 25 years of Super Mario games.

But now, stock up with supplies from the fruit shop for our featured and second Wii game of the week.

Fans should ready themselves for a heavy dose of nostalgia in the return of Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Country Returns.
