Welcome to another DLC Digest where we look at the highlights on Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network, and the Nintendo Shops over the past week.
We lead this week with the PlayStation Store, where the PS3 gets a great new addition; Joe Danger. The indie stuntbike game is available now for £9.99 and is the only 'full' PS3 title out this week. However, there are four new minis compatible with both the PS3 and PSP; Rocks N'Rockets, Vibes, Gold Fever, and Mahjongg Artifacts for £3.99 each. Downloadable content (DLC) for PlayStation 3 games includes Heavy Rain costumes for LittleBigPlanet (£1.59 each), the "Super Challengers 2 Pack" for Super Street Righter IV and new tracks for Rock Band, Guitar Hero 5, and Karaoke Revolution. The PSP edition of LittleBigPlanet also gets some Motorstorm-themed content.
Classic Mega Drive game Earthworm Jim is the latest addition to the Xbox Live Arcade. The run-and-gun platformer was originally released back in 1994 but is now back in HD in the suitably titled Earthworm Jim HD for 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80). Released alongside it is another game getting new life on the platform; NeoGeo Battle Coliseum was previously a PS2 title which came out in the arcades before that. Now it's on XBLA for 800MSP also. Also on the Xbox Live Marketplace this week is a multiplayer demo for Transformers: War for Cybertron.
The highlight on the Nintendo stores this week is probably Final Fantasy IV. The Squaresoft (now Square Enix) RPG is from the SNES era but was never previously released in Europe. It did get a North American release, though, under the name Final Fantasy II which is the name it's going live with here too, for some reason. If you want this classic entry in the series, then it's yours for 900 Wii Points (£4.90) - that's including the 100 Points "international game" premium. Also out this week is NEVES Plus: Pantheon of Tangrams on WiiWare alongside Mister Bumblebee Racing Champion for 500 Wii Points (£3.50) each. On DSiWare you can get tower defence game Fieldrunners for 500 DSi Points (£4.50), puzzle game Advanced Circuits for 200 DSi Points (£1.80), Puffins: Let's Roll for 500 DSi Points, and A Topsy Turvy Life: The Turvys Strike Back for another 200 DSi Points. Lastly you can now pick up Tales in a Box: Hidden shapes in perspective! whic is most famous for being mistaken as a Nintendo 3DS demo. The Nintendo-published puzzler uses the DSi camer to let you control your environment in 3D, and also costs 500 DSi Points.
That's it for another week on the DLC Digest.
