April fools, but downloads rule...
WiiWare -- Once again we see one new title and one free demo of an existing release. Planet Fish is a visually attractive fish "hunting" (collecting) game with puzzle elements. There's also a demo of A Monsteca Corral: Monsters vs. Robots.
Wii Virtual Console -- One new title that I have never played and might have to pick up: Hudson Soft's Super Bonk, which continued the adventures of the TurboGrafx/PC Engine caveman hero on the Super NES.
DSiWare -- Three new titles. Anonymous Notes Chapter 1- From the Abyss is a Rogue-like RPG with randomly generated maps and dungeons. A Fairy Tale is a lighthearted puzzler with a fantasy storyline. Absolute Baseball is a baseball management simulation, more strategy-oriented than the usual baseball videogame.
XBox Live Arcade -- Three new titles on the wire as of last week. Islands of Wakfu is an action-adventure game based on the MMORPGs DOFUS and Wakfu (which I hadn't heard of, but I'm not an MMO player.) Strania - The Stella Machina is a new, retro-style hardcore bullet-hell arcade shooter with a look reminiscent of Ikaruga. And Rush'n Attack: Ex-Patriot also arrives on XBLA, see the PS3 description below.
PS3 on PSN -- Four new titles this week. Chime Super Deluxe updates the indie music/rhythm/puzzler game with some new features. Moon Diver is a side-scrolling Japanese platformer, featuring an epic story of ninjitsu and mythic forces of judgment on a global scale. Rush'n Attack: Ex-Patriot updates Konami's venerable 80's action title (a.k.a. Green Beret outside North America) while retaining the basic gameplay style, in 2.5-D High Definition. And (apparently exclusive to PSN Plus subscribers) Sonic the Hedgehog is the Genesis classic, in straight-up emulated form with trophies added.
PSOne Classics -- Still quiet here, for about six weeks running now... but I'll keep checking for signs of life.
