Nintendo's slapped seven new games on its online systems this week, including a new Bomberman game and another chapter of Tales of Monkey Island.
Here's the full official list:
WiiWARE - UNO (Gameloft, 500 Wii Points)
Get ready to call "UNO" on your Wii! The world famous card game for friends and family fun has been recreated for Wii with the game's classic identity and rules that are easy enough for anyone to understand.
Players can have fun customising the game rules and discovering new ways to play UNO like "UNO 7-0", "UNO Challenge", "Jump In" and many others.
There is also a thrilling multiplayer mode on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection which allows up to six people to experience all the enjoyment of playing UNO with friends. For a truly immersive experience, talk to your opponents and call out "UNO" for real using Wii Speak. Victory has never been so enjoyable.
WiiWARE - Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 3: Lair of the Leviathan (Telltale Games, 1000 Wii Points)
In the third Tales of Monkey Island chapter, Guybrush gets stuck in (literally!) as his quest for the voodoo exfoliating La Esponja Grande takes a scenic twist -through the guts of a giant manatee!
This time, our hero encounters a surprising band of castaways, including the long-lost explorer Coronado De Cava. Can the Mighty Pirate win the suspicious De Cava's trust? Will sexy pirate hunter Morgan LeFlay prove to be a ruthless enemy, or an unlikely ally? Will the group find La Esponja Grande in time to save Elaine from the rampant Pox of LeChuck? And will the world be crushed by the gnashing teeth of a certain demonic skull? Find out in Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 3: Lair of the Leviathan.
Like so many fights, nobody really knows where, how or when the rivalry started, but this group of monkeys have been battling for as long as they can't remember where it all began. Their chosen fighting style is the ancient art of Banana Flinging and, now sworn enemies, this band of angry apes is each determined to out-last the other in a furious contest of fruity warfare.
Controlling one of eight monkeys you will to do battle with up to seven others across eight different themed landscapes. In single player, you'll battle through three increasingly difficult missions ranging from survival to coconut fights, or have a one-off battle against the clock, as a team or in a standard death-match.
Connect additional Wii Remotes to battle against up to three additional players or compete against strangers or your friends over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Connect a Wii Balance Board to add more mayhem to the fun. May the best monkey win!

woo yeah. MURRAYS BACK!!!! this chapter of monkey island is the best of the bunch so far!! Really funny, and they've sorted out all the tehnical problems the series has been having.
Where the hell are the N64 classics, it's been almost 4 months and I'm still yet to see anything new, I really wish nintendo would hurry up and release Pilot Wing 64 and Mario Tennis 64, not to mention Rouge Squadron.
