October has thus far been a relatively slow month for Nintendo's online storefronts. Last week, Nintendo tossed a single title each to WiiWare, the Virtual Console, and DSiWare, with console gamers afforded Word Searcher and Final Fantasy while handheld owners could pick up Thorium Wars. This week, a like number of games are available on the Nintendo shop, as Gravitronix joins Final Fight 2 on the Wii while the DSi picks up Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon.

　　Medaverse Studios lends the Wii its soul original game this week, as its multiplayer-centric action battler Gravitronix is available for 500 Wii points ($5). The game accommodates matches for up to eight, and players must defend a section of a spherical battleground from various projectiles.

　　A Capcom Super NES classic beat-'em-up, Final Fight 2 sees professional-wrestler-turned-Metro-City-mayor Mike Haggar again dishing out his special form of justice against the Mad Gear Gang. In the 800-Wii-point title ($8 ), Haggar teams up with Maki and Carlos to bring the brawl to Asia. Final Fight 2 accommodates play for up to two.

　　Lastly, Nintendo's DSi receives a dose of pinball this week for 500 DSi points ($5).

Nintendo was light on gameplay details, saying only that players would perform feats of pinball wizardry across two different modes to gain favor from 12 different Olympian gods.
