Nintendo has announced their Wii-Kly update to the Wii and DSi Shop Channel with the addition of three new Wiiware titles, three DSiWare games and two Virtual Console classics.

The first WiiWare title is Carnival King. Players compete for top scores and prizes while visiting three different amusement parks: Arcadia, Dreamland and Lagoon Park. Each park has four sets of games and a Bonus Round to test players' speed and accuracy. For novices or sharpshooters, the games are continually challenging, and the difficulty level can be adjusted to match each player's growing confidence. You can get this game for 700 Wii points.

The second WiiWare game is "Aha! I Got It!" Escape Game. This is a puzzling adventure game. Today is Milo's birthday, and he just got an amazing present from his dad: a room full of puzzles. Milo needs to solve all the puzzles to escape from the room. Shake, push and twist the Wii Remote controller to collect and use in-game items. You can buy this game for 500 Wii points.

 The last WiiWare release is Family Card Games. Daddy, Mommy, Sarah and Billy are back for some good ol' card game action. Try your hand at one of three card games: Daifugo, Speed or Memory.The game offers appealing cel-shaded graphics, endearing music and friendly, competitive match-ups. You can play one-player Daifugo or play against up to three other random players in an online match. You can also view your ranking and see how you match up with players around the world. Test your reflexes against another player in Speed and see who truly has the fastest hands. Memory will test your mental capacity as you try to remember where cards and their respective matches are. You can download this game for 500 Wii points.

 The first DSiWare title is Sparkle Snapshots. Take photos and embellish them to your heart's desire. Choose from a large variety of fancy frames, backgrounds, stamps and funny outfits to decorate your photos, or use the powerful paint program functions to manipulate them in detail.  Adjust the lighting conditions and lens type to match your subject and even use a shutter timer to allow yourself some extra time to get everything perfectly in place. Save your favorite snapshots in your DSi Camera album and use Nintendo DS wireless communications to send your masterpieces to your friends. You can get this game for 500 DSi points.

The second DSiWare game is Viking Invasion. This is a strategy game that pits a band of numb-skulled Vikings against defenders with a dodgy sense of humour. The adventures take the fearsome warriors of the North into a comical, off-beat world where they find themselves developing strange cravings for tulips and cream cakes. The Vikings have a range of sea-going attack units, from their longships to the Norse god Odin and a whole range of fantastical creatures. And the defenders can build different types of towers and strongholds to halt the enemy’s advances. You can buy this game for 800 DSi points.

 The last DSiWare release is Battle of Giants: Dragons – Bronze Edition. As last of the noble and rare Bronze Dragons, you must defeat the evil SALMU dragons and reclaim the 25 exclusive bronze gems they stole. Explore 10 maps and travel through the great jungles of Earth, the scorched grounds of Fire, the frozen wastelands of Ice and the floating islands of Wind. Customize your dragon's appearance by changing its body, wings, tail shape and colors – even add stripes. Test your dragon's fighting skills against your friends in head-to-head combat or four-player tournaments. You can download this game for 800 DSi points.

 The first VC title is Fighting Street. A port of the arcade version of Street Fighter. Players control Ryu or Ken and battle against unique fighters from all over the world. The first fighter to knock out an opponent and win two rounds is the winner. Power up your attack to three different levels;  the longer you hold a button, the stronger your attack. Input commands to perform special attacks and deal serious damage to your opponent. Combine your normal and special attacks effectively to fight your way to victory. You can get this game for 800 Wii points.

The other VC game is R-TYPE. This is a classic, side-scrolling arcade shoot-'em-up that was developed by Irem in 1987. It's the 22nd century, and you are humanity's last hope against the evil Bydo Empire. Your ship is called the R-9a Arrowhead and comes with a standard gun, but power-ups and upgrades are available in each mission. Navigate through eight challenging levels that will test even the best gamer's reflexes. You can buy this game for 500 Wii points.
