Just before we get to the rest, unsurprisingly there aren’t any Virtual Console games this week.

Three new games are available on WiiWare, with the fifth and final episode of the Tales of Monkey Island being the only very interesting one. Daniel reviewed this last year and thought it to be a great close for the series. As usual, it will set you back 1000 points. The port of the second Phoenix Wright title, Justice for All, also made its way today for 1000 point, but apparently the shoddy port job of the first game remains the same for this one. Last is Brain Cadets, which was originally released as Drill Sergeant Mindstrong in the US. As the name suggests, it’s a collection of mind-focused minigames set in a boot camp. If you really like you Brain Training, the game might be worth your 1000 points, otherwise it’s safe to avoid.

DSiWare sees the most games with four games for 500 points each, although we miss out on one here. Flight Control, developed by Melbourne based Firemint, would have to be the most prominent out of the bunch. The game has been been a hit on the iPhone/iPod Touch platform, selling over 2 million copies. The simple gameplay seems easy, but the difficulty ramps up quickly as you’re tasked with landing planes at 5 very busy airports. The DSiWare version has a new map, too, which is dubbed ’Windy’; the runways will close and open depending on the weather, adding another level of craziness. The DSiWare version also has multiplayer, but you’ll need a friend with the game to enjoy it. Leaderboards, however, didn’t make the cut, but the value in the core game is still amazing.

Next up is Flips: Terror in Cubicle Four, a downloadable version of the children’s book Terror in Cubicle Four from the Too Ghoul for School series. It’s always great to see more literary content for the DSi, so if you’ve got a child who might like a creepy story then it’s certainly worth a look. Downtown Texas Hold’em completes the new DSiWare games for us, but we’ve probably all had enough of the poker variant on DSiWare/WiiWare. The game that didn’t make it to us was Puzzle to Go: Wildlife, which seems to be the first ’real’ puzzle game for the service. Oh well.
