Six new games are headed to Nintendo's downloadable services this week: one for the Virtual Console, one for WiiWare, and four for DSiWare.
Hitting the Virtual Console is the arcade title Zaxxon from SEGA, a shoot-em-up that was the first to sport axonometric projection. Gameloft is bringing a GTA-clone to DSiWare in the form of Gangstar 2: Kings of L.A., while Hudson is bringing strategy to WiiWare with Military Madness: Nectaris.
