Girlfriends Forever on WiiWare tomorrow!

Plus: Pinball! Acrobats! Sports! Poker!

Tomorrow's Nintendo Online Shop refresher brings two new WiiWare games, three new DSiWare downloads and one Virtual Console memento.

That golden oldie is Aero the Acrobat from the days of the SNES. Bungee jumping, sky-diving, rollercoaster riding, tightrope walker - it all comes naturally for hero Aero. He's a bubbly fellow. He costs 800 Wii Points.

On WiiWare will be the choice of Arcade Sports: Air Hockey, Bowling, Pool, Snooker (self explanatory) or Girlfriends Forever: Magic Skate (what?). The latter is, in fact, an ice skating game with a heavy dose of dress-up and fantasy. Both games cost 800 Wii Points.

On DSiWare there will be World Poker Tour: Texas Hold 'Em and Crazy Pinball, each for 500 DSi Points. There's also Pop Island expansion Paperfield for 200 DSi Points.
