Game Boy: Balloon Kid, $2.99
Your brother Jim and his balloons have been blown away by a rogue wind! In this Game Boy version of Balloon Fight, you play as Alice, flying through eight different stages on your balloons, collecting balloons and avoiding enemies. The included Balloon Trip mode has you competing for a high score.
DSiWare: 1950s Lawn Mower Kids, $4.99/500 Nintendo Points
This game puts you in the shoes of three different kids, out to mow the neighborhood lawns. You control all three kids simultaneously, and each one has a different kind of lawnmower, special abilities and unique powerups. Watch out for things like tables, flowers and pets.
DSiWare: House M.D. – Episode 4: Crashed, 800 Nintendo Points
The fourth adventure with Dr. Gregory House has you investigating the illness of a reality TV star more concerned with fame and fortune than good health. You’ll interview patients, run tests, and perform surgery in your quest to save his life.
WiiWare: Gnomz, 1,000 Nintendo Points
Gnomes do battle in this arcade fighter that allows for up to four players. Play on one of 25 stages, grabbing powerups like deadly rainbows to help you toward victory.
At this point, I have to wonder how long a DSiWare episode of House M.D. is, if they’re running $8 an episode.
