This week we get a trio of completely unrelated games. Get indigestion with the new WiiWare Major League Eating: The Game, bug out with Donkey Kong 3, or go commando with Ninja Commando.

My pick has to be Donkey Kong 3.  I loved this arcade game and it’s a measly 500 points.  What do you think of the games this week?  And why do some publishers insist on putting “The Game” in their game’s title?

Two new games are available from the Wii Shop Channel today.  One is a new WiiWare racer, the other is an arcade fighting classic.  Click on through for the full descriptions and to let us know if you’re interested in either game.

Toki Tori - WiiWare - 1,000 Wii Points
In this puzzle/platform game, players use a variety of items such as the Telewarp, InstantRock and Slug Sucker. Clever use and combination of these items are needed to solve all the game’s levels, of which there are more than 70. The game even uses the Wii Message Board in a unique way.  [Published by Two Tribes]

Take control of the ninjas Joe (one player) and Hayabusa (two players), and enter into battle against a group of evil ninjas called the Kage Ichizoku. Ninja Combat also supports simultaneous play with two players, so you can grab a friend and defeat the Kage Ichizoku together.  [Published by D4 Enterprise]

It’s a holiday and a huge Wii Shop Channel Monday today, May 26th, 2008:

Dr. Mario Online Rx - WiiWare - 1,000 Wii Points
The doctor is in! Mario takes a break from his adventuring ways and once again dons his stethoscope for a new generation of germ-battling mayhem. In addition to the classic mode of using vitamins to exterminate viruses, you’ll find two battle modes and an online multiplayer mode where you can hone your skills against players from around the world. Feel like challenging a friend who doesn’t have Dr. Mario Online Rx? Then the WiiWare-exclusive Friend Battle Demo is just what the doctor ordered. Or maybe you’d like some help taking on those nasty viruses? Try out Virus Buster, where four players can simultaneously move capsules simply by pointing at them with a Wii Remote controller. Any way you look at it, Dr. Mario Online Rx is a prescription for fun that everyone can enjoy. [Published by Nintendo] (more…)

Jeux-France, via Wii Fanboy, has pics of the Neo Geo arcade stick that’s coming out soon in Japan. It looks like a Neo Geo controller. Oh, and it works with Virtual Console and Wii games. And it’s about $59. That’s about it from me on that.
