Europe mostly plays catch-up again this week, with three of the five new downloads already being available in North America. DSiWare makes up the bulk of this week's releases, with the other two services only getting one game each, and it's also the only one of the services to get some completely new stuff. We're not exactly sure if you've been eagerly awaiting one of the new games, though...
WiiWare
Family Games: Pen & Paper Edition (Icon Games, 500pts) – Another game made completely to look like it's made out of school paper (A popular trend these days), this one offers a number of, as the title implies, digital pen and paper games. Unfortunately, we were not really impressed, as our Family Games review will tell you.
WiiWare Demos
And Yet It Moves (Broken Rules) – A rather unique game in which you can literally turn the world upside down to move things around or reach new platforms. Naturally, our And Yet It Moves review is always available as well.
Fish'em All (Abylight) – Abylight's first WiiWare game, all the way back from 2009, now has a demo. Of course, you can also read our Fish'em All review.
Virtual Console
Magical Drop III (Neo Geo, D4 Enterprise, 900pts) – An even better puzzler than its predecessor, this one is regarded as quite a bit of a cult classic, with its nicely animated characters and addictive gameplay. You can read our thoughts in our Magical Drop III review.
DSiWare
Surfacer+ Dexterity + Strategy (Lexis Numerique, 500pts) – A strange puzzler which completely revolves around filling the screen with flowers, Surfacer+ is very strange, very unique and very fun all at the same time. DSiWare is off to a good start this year! You can read more in our Surfacer+ review.
Oscar in Toyland 2 (Virtual Playground, 500pts) – A sequel to the first game, naturally. We only found that one rather average, so hopefully this one can improve on it a bit.
Alien Puzzle Adventure (Mastertronic, 500pts) – Another game we don't really know much about, it seems to be Puyo Puyo played on a sphere, but we'll find out soon enough.
Anything that catches your eye this week?

Magical Drop III's fun.
And don't forget the two demo's. And Yet It Moves and Fish 'em All.
I noticed the ThruSpace demo has been removed. Have any others?
Strange, those demos weren't up when I checked.
Oh good, I was getting paranoid that I'd missed the AYIM demo.
"Anything that catches your eye this week?"
No
Nothing for me this week. I don't want family games. But I download the demos and add them to my demo collection even if I already own the full versions.
Still no Shantae!?!
@Bass X0. The ThruSpace demo has been gone for quite some time now. Others that have been removed are Furry Legends and Chrono Twins DX. Bit.Trip FATE was shortly removed but found it's way back into the demo partion of the shop.
Nice, 2 new demos.
Ahh, still no "Shantae - Risky's Revenge"... why is Nintendo tormenting us so? Anyway... will get "Magical Drop III" instead so I can control my impatience.
Gah! Where the hell is Shantae? Curse you, American developers!
@LuWiiGi: ah, i see MasterGraveheart has trained you well, young padawan. :3
Glad I got to try And Yet It Moves, not one I'd actually buy though.
I dont buy 50Hz so the Neo Geo is out, shame that Data East compilation with Magical Drop and Bad Dudes never got released in Europe, by the way.
I'm still waiting for some more SEGA arcade games.
Magical Drop 3 is very good!
Got the brilliant " And Yet it Moves" already.
Got the Fish 'em all demo too. Fun game, but way too much arm ache waggling and a bit shallow. Like an expanded mini-game. Not for me...
