Monday morning means another round of downloadable releases for the DSi and Wii in North America, with this week's batch including classic Neo Geo fighter Fatal Fury 3 and the belly-dancing platformer sequel Shantae: Risky's Revenge.

Eric Carle's wonderful Very Hungry Caterpillar crawls onto Wii in this week's batch of downloadable Wii and DSi releases, teaching its ABCs. If you want video games, mind, there's also several sports titles, Aero the Acro-Bat 2 in the Virtual Console and an intriguing platformer where every level must be completed within ten seconds.

You might hope that the 25th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. would be a good occasion to release some fine Mario wares for download on Wii and DSi but alas, this week we get only a small and humdrum selection. The highlights would seem to be the real-time strategy Castle Conqueror and Crazy Pinball, because we all like pinball.

After a lengthy Virtual Console drought, this week's batch of downloadable Nintendo Wii and DSi releases brings sweet relief with SNK's vintage feudal fighter Samurai Shodown III. There are also Western adventure game jollies with Fenimore Fillmore.

Although Nintendo returned to adding Virtual Console releases to its weekly list of downloadable offerings last week, we're not so lucky this time around.
While we don't have a new "classic" to add to our digital collection, Nintendo has added Tales of Elastic Boy - Mission 1 to its console via WiiWare along with a trio of new titles in the DSiWare library. Read more »

This week's batch of Nintendo digital releases brings with it a new addition to the Virtual Console, something the Wii platform has been lacking for a number of weeks now. Along with the NES title Ufouria: The Saga comes the previously PC, Mac and Linux-exclusive puzzle platformer And Yet It Moves. DSiWare fans can get their livestock farming simulation on in My Farm.

Nintendo has unveiled this week's batch of downloadable Wii and DSi releases to reveal yet another week without a Virtual Console title. There is, however, the Chronos Twins-y DSi puzzle-platformer Divergent Shift, where you control one character on two screens at once, and a Pikmin-ish strategy game pitting monsters against robots.

This week's round of DSi and Wii downloadable releases takes things down a notch, letting players get creative with Rhythm Core Alpha, play a little chess, gaze at an aquarium or learn the ancient and sensual art of massage, as you've always wanted to.

If you're frustrated by yet another week of downloadable Wii and DSi releases without a Virtual Console title, perhaps you can work your anger out by shooting innocent animals in Deer Captor or cutting loose in BlayzBloo: Super Melee Action Battle Royale, a cutesy arena-based DSi version of Askys' fine fighting series BlazBlue.

After three weeks without releasing a single Virtual Console game for Wii, Nintendo has slipped Aero the Acrobat into this week's batch of Wii and DSi downloadable titles. If the batty SNES platformer is not to your tastes, well then, perhaps you might be more interested in a spot of diving, racing puffins or blasting insurgents?

As today brings another batch of weekly DSi and Wii downloadable releases without a Virtual Console title, Nintendo has apparently stacked its hands with cute, friendly and adorable games in the hope of distracting you from your misery. Look, kittens!

A WiiWare version of the physics-driven violence simulator Toribash is the highlight of this week's North American DSi and Wii downloadable releases, though turning a DSi into a retro-style keyboard for $2 is surely also tempting. No Virtual Console this week.

Presumably to mark the fourth of July, this week's batch of downloadable releases for the DSi and Wii includes looks at two very different periods in the USA's history--the tension following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and the days when that wicky-wicky wild, wild West was roamed by steam-powered robot cowboys.

Whether you're feeling like a Wimbledon tennis star, giggly teenager or drunken frat boy, this week's batch of downloadable releases for the Wii and DSi has you in mind.

There's no Virtual Console title in this week's batch of new Wii and DSi downloadable releases but who needs yet another platformer that was a bit dodgy even back in 1987 when you can have puffins, bears, jellyfish, sharks, dinosaurs and primordial ooze?
