Nothing really big coming out this week for Wii or DS. TMNT: Smash-Up looks vaguely interesting and Spyborgs might be fun to check out. Otherwise this week’s Rock Band 2 DLC is dedicated to the new Pearl Jam album, Backspacer, while Guitar Hero 5 gets an AFI track pack.
[updated with new WiiWare from Nintendo, a C=64 game on the Virtual Console, and some fairly typical DSiWare.]

Fabulous Finds
You, Me, and the Cubes
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1-2
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) ”“ Comic Mischief
Price: 1,000 Wii Pointsâ„¢
Description: Experience a unique combination of strategy and skill as you maintain a level playing field in the physics-based action puzzler You, Me, and the Cubes. The action centers around Fallos, mysterious creatures that resemble humans and have an ability to balance on a playing field of 3-D cubes. First, create a pair of Fallos inside your Wii Remoteâ„¢ controller by shaking it up and down. Next, determine suitable places for the Fallos to land, then fling them to the selected cube with a swinging motion. After that, the Fallos are on their own. If your placement is sound, the Fallos will remain stable and you’ll clear the stage after tossing a required number onto the cubes. But if the weight or locations of Fallos causes the cubes to tilt and sway too much, the Fallos will lose their balance and fall off. Adding to the challenge, you’ll find that some cubes have different properties, making tosses tricky and further threatening the stability of the Fallos. Guide Fallos through dozens of single-player stages or invite family and friends to join you in two-player cooperative mode.
