In honor of Valentine's Day, Nintendo's weekly batch of DS and Wii digital games carries a love theme. Pucca's kisses game tasks players with kissing a ninja while Treasure Hunter X has you gathering rare artifacts to impress a girl. Oh, the things we do for video game love.
Alright, the V-Day theme is pretty inconsistent. There are only two digital releases that have anything to do with love. The other offerings this week are more platonic affairs dealing with pandas and magical lands of toys - in other words, the stuff you cared about before you started trying to bang things.
