The LoadDown -- 03/08/2012

Here's what's new on the wire this week -- a few platforms are quiet but there's still quite a bit happening.

WiiWare -- Nothing new here, but rising once again from its dormancy, we find something new (old, actually) on the...

Wii Virtual Console -- SNK's Neo*Geo fighting game classic, The King of Fighters '97!

DSiWare -- One new game for the DSi and 3DS, Zuma's Revenge, which presents more levels of ball-blasting sphere-blasting fun.

3DS eShop -- An 8-bit NES classic arrives on the 3DS for download -- it's Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream, formerly known as Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and starring a different final boss after the licensing deal and Mr. Tyson's good reputation ran out.  3DS owners can also download a brand new title, the Mii-friendly Fun! Fun! Minigolf TOUCH!

XBox Live Arcade -- One new game this week, Ubisoft's I Am Alive, a post-apocalyptic exploration/scavenging action game that's gotten good reviews.

PS3 on PSN -- Motorstorm: RC arrives, along with its PS Vita release.  (Yes, I was off by a week when I listed this as one of last week's releases. I also promise to stop calling it the PSP Vita... eventually.)

PSOne Classics -- Still quiet here.
