What’s New This Week?

This week’s releases include two of the most highly anticipated titles since Super Smash Bros. Brawl earlier this year. And there are some other games, too… but does anyone actually care? Mario Kart Wii!!!!!

Wii

Mario Kart Wii - At last, Mario Kart Wii! For fans of the series, this one is a big deal, bringing the Mario Kart experience to the current generation of consoles. The game comes bundled with the Wii Wheel peripheral. I wasn’t especially impressed with Mario Kart Double Dash, but this one looks like it might outdo my favorite, Mario Kart 64.

PS3 and XBOX 360

Grand Theft Auto IV - PS3 | 360 - Another major release this week, the long-awaited GTAIV from Rockstar. It’s already been stirring up some minor controversy, and it’s sure to stir up some some more once people finally get their hands on it… or at least give Jack Thompson something to talk about for awhile.

Ironman - PS3 | 360 | Wii | DS | PSP | PS2 - This is a tie-in game with the Ironman movie that releases this week, and it’s coming out on pretty much every system currently in production. Apparently they want people to buy it. I’ve never had much luck with games based on movies, but if they’re your thing, this one is a 3rd person action game.

Nintendo DS

Brain Voyage - A puzzle title with a traveling theme. There are 80 puzzles to solve, and 5 levels of difficulty, all based around famous locations around the globe. You can ever share puzzles with friends.

Toy Shop - A new simulation title in which you and you sister must run your grandfather’s toy shop. Make your store profitable in the timespan of three years, or you’ll lose your business to the city.

Let’s Pilates! - This is one of those “educational” DS games that have been so popular lately. Learn Pilates poses with your DS. You can also track your pilates schedule and monitor your progress.

Let’s Yoga! - Much like Let’s Pilates!, but this time you have the opportunity to learn Yoga poses. Again, it tracks your schedule and progress.

PSP

SNK Arcade Classics - This one is a compilation title that include 16 old-school NeoGeo titles, including Art of Fighting, Baseball Stars 2, Burning Fight, Fatal Fury, King of FIghters ‘94, King of the Monsters, Last Resort, Magician Lord, Metal Slug, Neo Turf Masters, Samurai Shodown, Sengoku, Shock Troopers, Super Sidekicks 3, Top Hunter, and World Heros.
