Tune in, game on...
WiiWare -- One new title, no free demo this week, but the new title is a WiiWare port of the Dreamcast-era MDK2 from Interplay and Bioware. I've played and enjoyed the original MDK, created by Shiny Entertainment; if this game is half as inventive and action-packed as the first one, and the port to the Wii is decent, it'll be a good investment for 1000 points.
Wii Virtual Console -- Nothing new here this week, though MDK2 on WiiWare is very much in the spirit of the VC.
DSiWare --Three new titles for the DSi this week. Mighty Milky Way from WayForward (Shantae) features a cute animated heroine (presumably accounting for the "mild suggestive themes") and planet creation/destruction puzzle gameplay. GO Series Tower of Deus is a simple 2D tower-climbing platform game. Whack-A-Friend combines the DSi's camera with good old-fashioned whack-a-mole gameplay to let you assassinate your enemies... sorry, beat the comical stuffing out of your friends.
XBox Live Arcade -- Two new titles this week. Renowned Japanese developer Treasure brings us Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury, a hi-def remake of the classic N64/Dreamcast shoot-'em-up. And Feelplus/Square-Enix' Moon Diver is a side-scrolling, Strider-style action platformer with support for up to four players.
PS3 on PSN -- Two weeks in a row with nothing new? That's highly unusual, though we are entering the summer months, traditionally a slow period for video game sales.
PSOne Classics -- Dormant again this week.
