WiiWare -- One new title and one demo. The new item is Paint Splash, a creativity tool that allows one to four painters to splash paint around at the same time and save the results to the SD card. Theres also a demo for Liight, the music/color/puzzle game released in March.
Wii Virtual Console -- Nothing here this week.
DSiWare -- Two new games: Puzzle Rocks, a dual-screen game with shape-matching and color-matching in tandem, and DotMan, replicating the classic Atari Dodge Em gameplay (or more obscurely, the TRS-80s Tunnels of Fahad.) DotMan is rated E10+ for suggestive themes, not so much due to the anime babe on the title screen as to the use of a spotlight to highlight certain of her features.
Nintendo 3DS eShop -- The above DSiWare games are also available on the 3DS, along with the vintage Game Boy Golf.
XBox Live Arcade -- Four new games are on tap this week. Bloodrayne: Betrayal and SkyDrift appear here as well (see PS3 details below), Crimson Alliance is an action-RPG (with an odd per-character-class pricing structure), and Konamis Leedmees borrows a core concept from the classic Lemmings for a novel Kinect experience. Im glad to see more XBLA support for Kinect -- the novelty of the camera-based controller isnt always able to justify big-budget experiences, but downloadable games may work out pretty well.
PS3 on PSN -- Two new games arrived this week. Bloodrayne: Betrayal is a new 2-D animated side-scrolling slasher that looks to be more fun than the bigger-budget 3D Bloodrayne games. SkyDrift is a stunt-plane racing game with nice graphics.
PSOne Classics -- Hey, I missed a couple of good ones! This platform isnt down for the count yet. Capcom released the RPG Breath of Fire IV on August 16th, and Square-Enix put Parasite Eve II out August 23rd.
