It's another Monday, and more new games were added to the North American Nintendo downloadable services for WiiWare, Virtual Console, and DSiWare. The highlight this week is two import titles for the Virtual Console, followed by a trio of WiiWare titles and a DSiWare title.

The first WiiWare title is Bit Boy!! from Bplus. Bit Boy Kubi's pixellated adventure begin when his friends are kidnapped. Travel through the generations of graphics from 4-bit to 8-bit, all the wya to 128-bit worlds.

The second WiiWare title is Incoming! from JV Games. The premise is simple; defeat your opponent's tanks before your own are defeated. Get your powerups ready to help you take down your opponent, whether it be computer-controlled or a human.

The last WiiWare title this week is Ant Nation from Konami. Gain access to your own virtual ant farm and try to raise your ants in devilish ways. Make them strong by zapping them with lasers, hitting them with electricity, and wage war with other insects. There are 100 missions to play through along with 20 more bonus ones.

The first Virtual Console title today is Secret Command for the Sega Master System. Having been released in Europe but not in North America, Secret Command has you playing a lone warrior fully locked and loaded trying to save hostages amidst a swarm of enemy soldiers, rockets, tanks and other things so you don't save the day. A friend can join in and help you double your output.

The other Virtual Console title is Game Freak's Pulseman for the Sega Genesis. This very-well received and beloved title stars the half-human/half-C-life AI Pulseman, armed with electrical attacks and his signature Volteccer move. The evil Doc Waruyama, Pulseman's father and creator is threatening and it is up to Pulseman to stop him.
