There are only a handful of new physical, go-out-and-buy-the-disc titles out this week… But who cares? WiiWare launches today!

WiiWare

LostWinds (1000 Wii Points)
Defend Your Castle (500 Wii Points)
Pop (700 Wii Points)
VIP Casino Blackjack (700 Wii Points)
TV Show King (1000 Wii Points)

For more info on WiiWare titles available today, check out my post on the subject.

Wii

We Ski - If you can’t guess what this is from the title, you need to pay more attention. We Ski, pretty obviously, is one of those sports games that try to be cute and family oriented. Bonus, if you’ve pre-ordered Wii Fit, the game is also compatible with the Balance Board. Of course, Wii Fit doesn’t come out until next week, so you’ll have to wait to try out that feature.

Deca Sports - Much like Wii Sports and Wii Play, Deca Sports takes a bunch of casual sports games and compiles them into one package. As the title implies, there are 10 sports to choose from, and up to four people can play. You have your choice of Beach Volleyball, Snowboarding, Badminton, Basketball, Curling (yes, seriously, Curling…), Figure Skating, Archery, Supercross, Soccer or Kart Racing.

Castle of Shikigami III - The laster in the Shikigami series, Castle of Shikigami III is a scrolling shooter that offers the choice of 10 characters and Dramatic Change Mode that lets you swap between two characters on the fly as you attempt to unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of the country of Alcaland’s people.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - Wii | 360 | PS3 | PS2 | Nintendo DS
Oh look… another attempt to cash in on a highly anticipated movie with a half-assed video game featuring the characters, environments, and basic plot of said movie. And it’s on every system known to man. Again. Yeesh.

Nintendo DS

Myst - The classic puzzle RPG Myst comes to DS. Not really surprising, but hey… Myst rocks. The DS version includes re-mastered video and audio, new music, and a new Arctic world, as well as an interface redesigned to accomodate the DS stylus.

Drone Tactics - This one is a turn-based tactical RPG. You used cybernetic mechabugs called Drones to save the world of Cimexus. Build, customize, and optimize your forces, and play against friends using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

PS2

Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure - This little guy was released on Wii WAAAAAY back in January. Now you can play it on your PS2, if you are so inclined.

Nikki Blight: is still trying to find that damn princess... when she's not writing fresh code for the217.com.
