It's the Monday of the 113th running of the Boston Marathon, and four games reach the Nintendo downloadable services of the Virtual Console, WiiWare, and DSiWare this week in North America. Two DSiWare titles, one WiiWare title, and one Virtual Console title are in this week's wave.

The first DSiWare title this week is Dr. Mario Express from Nintendo. It's a single player version of the classic virus-busting game, with two modes available: Classic Mode, and vs. CPU mode, where players can take on a computer-controlled opponent.

The other DSiWare title is Master of Illusion Express: Deep Psyche, also from Nintendo. Another one of the mini-Master of Illusion titles, Deep Psyche teaches mind-bending tricks and illusions from the original DS title.

The WiiWare title today is Crystal Defenders R1 from Square Enix. Using the assets from the DS title Final Fantasy Tactics A2, this tower defense title has you deploying your units to protect your party's crystals from the oncoming waves of monsters. Losing all your crystals will end the game.

The Virtual Console title today is Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair for the Sega Genesis. It's another title in the popular series, and it is up to Leo to save the town of Xenobia from danger. You can take a friend along with you for some co-op action.


Recap:

GEN: Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair, 1-2 Players, 900 Points - Import
