Retail
Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Price: $34.99
Release: December 7th, 2009… Canada we get it on the 9th; unfair I know
Finally, the long awaited sequel to Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has finally arrived! You control Link and for the first time ever in a Legend of Zelda title you can also control Princess Zelda! Well, kind of, you see her spirit has been ripped from her body and is now in control of a giant suit of armor! Sounds pretty bad-ass to me.

Price: $29.99
Release: December 8th, 2009
Playmobil: Circus allows players to put on a circus in front of an entire virtual audience, but not alone of course! You can play with your family and create the best circus ever in existence (Cirque de Soleil has nothing on you)!
Puzzler World
System: DS
Price: $19.99
Release: December 8th, 2009
If you love puzzles then this is a game for you! It claims to feature over 200 hours of gameplay… maybe in replay value, but I don’t think I could ever do puzzles for that amount of time.

Virtual Console
Shinobi

This is the original arcade game that started the Shinobi series. The other installments have been available for awhile on the VC, but it’s nice to see where the series first started.
Street Fighter Alpha 2
System: SNES

There have been many rereleases of Street Fighter 2 in recent years and it doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. That being said it’s a pretty decent game and certainly worth a look.

A couple of weeks ago myNotebook: Blue was released for the Nintendo DSi, but myNotebook: Red aims to really change the dynamics of the previous installment. Take everything that made myNotebook: Blue great and make it red, a little crazy I know but still pretty awesome!
