This week gamers can download nine (9!) titles. Starting today, Nintendo fanboys can pick up three new WiiWare games (Eduardo the Samurai Toaster, Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure, Let's Catch), two new DSi games (Mario Calculator, Mario Clock) and one new Virtual Console game (Space Harrier).  On Wednesday Xbox 360 owners can download Sam & Max Save the World and Magic the Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers. 

So what do PS3 owners get? So glad you asked. This Thursday (hands getting clammy, forehead sweaty) at the PlayStation Store (wiping the drool from the corner of my mouth) you (and especially me) can download PS1 classic Metal Gear Solid. That's right, the greatest game of all time (in my opinion, and I swear these are the last parentheses you'll see in this post) is finally coming to PSN as a downloadable title. About. Damn. Time. I have been waiting and whining for this game forever. June 18, 2009 is Columbus Day, Groundhog Day, and Guy Fawkes Day all rolled into one. If I could smooch the greasy head of whoever finally put this fantastic game on the PSN store I would. Now if you'll excuse me, my wife and I have to get our Snake and Meryl outfits on. I hope she doesn't mind.

Starting today Nintendo gamers can get four new downloadable titles. "Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!" (800 DSi Points), "Swords & Soldiers" (1,000 Wii Points), "Fish'em All!" (800 Wii Points), and "Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf" (800 Wii Points) are all available right now. An odd assortment of titles to be sure.

So what can Xbox 360 and PS3 owners expect this week? I have no idea. I'm sure something is coming out on XBLA on Wednesday but all's been quite on the Microsoft front today. They must all be nursing an E3 hangover. As for PSN fans? You got a game last week, don't get greedy.

This holiday week brings three offerings on XBLA and four choices on Nintendo platforms.

Two arcade games, Wallace & Gromit: Fright of the Bumblebees and puzzler Yosumin Live, headline this week for Microsoft. Another Hasbro Family Game Night title is available, with the release of Boggle. Each of these can be had for 800MS Points or $10.

For DSiWare, American Popstar: Road to Celebrity is available to download, which may or may not be an American Idol ripoff. Action game Bubble Bobble Plus! and Adventure Island The Beginning are this week's WiiWare offerings. Finally, Clay Fighter, originally for the Sega Genesis, is the virtual console game of the week.

This week, depending on who you ask, there are up to 7 new downloadable games for you to purchase. "Animal Crossing Calculator" and "Animal Crossing Clock" are available for 200pts each for the DSi, and Wii owners can pick up "Penguins and Friends - Hey! That's My Fish!" (800pts) and "Tower Toppler" (500pts). 

What do Xbox 360 owners get? According to the official Xbox press website, just "Space Invaders Extreme". But after checking Major Nelson's blog, it looks like you can also get "Zombie Wranglers" and "Arkanoid Live", all selling for 800MS points/$10 each. Personally, my money's on Major.

Another week, another chance for you to win something from GamePro Arcade. This week we're giving away one (1) 2000 Wii Point card. Not only can you use your new card on WiiWare and Virtual Console titles, but it can also be used to download DSi games. But don't think for a second you can split points and buy some items on your Wii and other things for your DSi.

Nintendo has discovered through a mutual friend that the Wii and DSi got into a fight over the same dude some time back (rumor has it they had it out over Luigi, but honestly, who would fight over that troll) and now they refuse to share anything. So once you decide which system you'll spend your points on, you're stuck with it. 

How do you win this week? Easy. Head to our most recent question of the week, cast your vote and post a comment. Post as many times as you want, a winner will be randomly selected by the GPArcade super computer (the WOPR) and announced Sunday. Good luck!
