DSiWare

American Popstar: Road to Celebrity (Gameloft, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone – Comic Mischief, 800 Nintendo DSi Points): This is your enthralling and interactive success story as a young hopeful in the music milieu. The adventure begins when you get the chance to audition at your Hollywood high school. But the road to celebrity isn’t an easy one: Your secret crush is also auditioning, and so is your evil rival. This unique mix of music-themed gaming and social adventure will let you show your talents to the world, take your best photo with the Nintendo DSi system’s built-in camera and meet lots of people who may help you build your career. You’re about to become the greatest pop star in the world. Talk, share activities and be friendly or unfriendly with numerous characters. Customize your character’s name and appearance, and develop skills and personality through your actions. Four musical mini-games include Guitar, Singing, Drums and Dance. Record your voice, take your own photos and sign autographs.

Photo Clock (Nintendo, 1 player, 200 Nintendo DSi Points): Photo Clock allows you to enjoy the photos taken with your Nintendo DSi Camera application in a new way. Watch your images appear on the top screen of your Nintendo DSi system according to your chosen display settings (specific photos or all photos; in order or randomly displayed). Select from either an analog or digital clock, using the system’s internal clock or offsetting the time however you like. Program up to three alarms – with snooze functionality for those who need it – and assign them a preset ring or use a sound created in Nintendo DSi Sound. Experience all the enjoyment of a photo album while ensuring you won’t lose track of the time.

WiiWare

BUBBLE BOBBLE Plus! (TAITO, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone – Comic Mischief, 600 Wii Points): BUBBLE BOBBLE Plus! is a simple yet exhilarating action game where you control the bubble-blowing dragons Bub and Bob, trapping enemies in bubbles and then popping them. You can play all 100 of the Standard Mode rounds, which faithfully recreate the nostalgic arcade game, or try 100 new Arrange Mode rounds, which allow up to four players to play on stages with exciting new features such as new enemies and stage layouts. There are also Super Mode rounds for you to enjoy. Determine the true ending by solving puzzles hidden on each stage to defeat the final boss. In Ranking Mode, players with broadband Internet access can use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service to compete with players from around the world. Enjoy an additional 100 rounds and face off against new boss characters by purchasing “Expert Mode 1″ and “Expert Mode 2″ add-on content.

ADVENTURE ISLAND The Beginning (Hudson Entertainment, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone – Cartoon Violence and Comic Mischief, 800 Wii Points): ADVENTURE ISLAND The Beginning comes to the Wii console with exciting new skills and elements. Learn how to use new skills while exploring Adventure Island from coast to coast. Search for Golden Melons hidden throughout the stages and mini-games. When obtaining Golden Melons, you’ll be able to purchase various items to help you on your adventure. These items can increase your attack power or enable you to reach places you couldn’t get to before. Fulfill certain requirements while playing in any of the modes to achieve a “Master Higgins Feat” and you’ll be awarded a Master Higgins costume.

Virtual Console

Clay Fighter (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen – Comic Mischief and Mild Cartoon Violence, 800 Wii Points): In this zany 2-D fighter, it’s just another day for a humble traveling circus troupe when a meteor crash-lands in their camp. The otherworldly orb, made entirely out of interstellar clay, contaminates all the circus employees, turning them into bizarrely superpowered versions of themselves. Choose from among the unique clay creatures, such as Bonker, the cheerfully manic clown, or Blue Suede Goo, the mild-mannered Elvis impersonator turned violent vocalist. Master their “Claytalities,” like the operatic Helga’s deadly high note and Bad Mr. Frosty’s fists of snowball fury!

    Nothing at all for me this week.

  2. Jonkind says...

    Personal Trainer: Walking. Really? How inane.

    How about Personal Trainer: Breathing? or Personal Trainer: Chewing Bubble Gum? Or Personal Trainer: Trimming Your Finger Nails? Or Personal Trainer: Cleaning the Kitty Litter?

    What else can you think of Infendo?

  3. Hunter says...

    Bubble Bobble Plus, Yes thank you.

  4. Squinge-O-Matic says...

    Looks like a whole lot of NOTHING for DSiWare.

  5. Jonkind says...

    Personal Trainer: Drink a Cup of Coffee

  6. Jonkind says...

    Personal Trainer: Browse The Internet

  7. frankatank34 says...

    this was a triumph!!!!!

  8. GrumpyDavid says...

    Personal Trainer: Waste Your Money

    I just bought New Adventure Island yesterday and I’m loving it so I might pick it up. Bubble Bobble Plus looks like it might be a good one to get (I do already have the original, though) and Clayfighter on Genesis? Never saw that one coming! Good release week for downloads!

  10. Lite (on a crappy PC!!) says...

    Up actually looks somewhat occupying.

  11. reinhold says...

    And next week we’ll get Clay Fighter for the SNES

  12. Sean says...

    How about Personal Trainer: Sleeping – I’d be all over that.

    Seriously though, despite how absurd it sounds I’m actually a little interested by Personal Trainer: Walking – not because I think it might be a great piece of software, but because I kind of like Pedometers – I was actually surprised and disappointed that Wii Fit didn’t have some way to track your steps when you walking outside of your home. (I always imagine the “jog while you watch TV” mode, except somehow with a standalone program loaded into the Wii-Remote, so you can run around the block.)

    Anyway, that’s the only thing that makes PT:Walking stand out at all, a software integrated pedometer.

  13. David says...

    I honestly do want to get Personal Trainer: Walking. The interaction of the pedometers (one for me and one for my wife) and the DS would be a lot of fun. Also, it uses Mii characters on your freaking DS!

  14. Jonkind says...

    Personal Trainer: Taking Out The Recycling

    Personal Trainer: Heating Up Some Leftovers

    Personal Trainer: Reading Nutritional Information on a Food Label
