New PS3, Wii, 360 Downloadables Announced

360 gamers have Lost Planet to look forward to this week, but PS3 and Wii owners have things to smile about as well. Today's virtual console game releases feature the Hudson classic title Dungeon Explorer, as well as the shmup Gradius and the sidescrolling shooter Soldier Blade. PS3 owners will get six great downloadable titles sometime 'in early 2007', courtesy of Midway and Sony Online Entertainment. "The six games announced in the deal are Mortal Kombat II, Gauntlet II, Joust, Rampage World Tour, Rampart, and Championship Sprint. Sony Online said those titles were chosen specifically for their multiplayer components, as the company is adding online play for all six." Update: 01/08 22:32 GMT by Z : Oops. Missed Ms. Pac-Man on XBLA this week.

That sony will charge a mere $400/title for these downloadables.

The Wii titles are out, while the PS3's downloadable titles are announced with no firm release date, given that it appears the downloading feature hasn't even been used yet -- does anyone know if it's ready at all?

A chance to not play them again!

Woo hoo! I get a ignore these games a second time around! Thank you, Sony et al!

*shaking of head*

This is as sad as those aging musicians who keep releasing "The Best of..." albums instead of recording something, oh, I don't know...NEW?
