Nintendo has recently announced this week's new downloadable releases for the Nintendo WiiWare and the Nintendo DSiWare services. Nintendo Wii owners will have the opportunity to solve puzzles in two games from the Tales of Bearsworth Manor series and enjoy a new Art Style title. Nintendo DS owners will be able to engage in fishing activities in Puffins: Let's Fish! or solve various challenges involving round-numbered panels in Spin Six.

Wii Ware hosts three new titles this week: Art Style: Rotozoa, The Tales of Bearsworth Manor: Chaotic Conflicts and The Tales of Bearsworth Manor: Puzzling Pages. Art Style: Rotozoa allows players to grow a circular organism known as a rotozoan and take it through different stages of its life in the primordial ooze. This title is priced at 600 Wii Points. Both of the Tales of Bearsworth Manor titles are puzzle games published by Square Enix and both have a 1,000-Wii-Point price.

DSiWare will add no less than five new entries this week, including Spin Six, Puffins: Let's Fish!, Mega Words, Super Swap and Legendary Wars: T-Rex Rumble. Spin Six has players rotate numbered panels to line them up and achieve high scores by making them disappear, and it is available for purchase for 500 Nintendo DSi Points. Puffins: Let's Fish! allows one to fill a puffin’s shoes in searching for his favorite meal, and it is available for 500 Nintendo DSi Points.

Mega Words is a collection of the classic Word Scrambler, Anagram and Hangman word games that DS owners can get for 500 DSi Points. Super Swap is, as its title suggests, a swapping puzzle game that tries something different by adding an element of arcade action. The title is priced at 500 Nintendo DSi Points.

Legendary Wars: T-Rex Rumble is a kind of strategy game that tasks players with leading a tribe of prehistoric men to survive in a strange world, fighting dinosaurs and searching for food. It is available for 800 Nintendo DSi Points. This week, the Big Name Games section of the WarioWare: D.Y.I. series hosts micro-games from the Nintendo localization team, Treehouse, for free for both the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS.
