Dr. House investigates the side-effects of fast racing and adventuring on islands in this week's crop of games.

This week marks the release of several notable games across Nintendo's download game services, with an F-Zero-inspired racer and a Hudson SNES title.

For WiiWare, Shin'en Multimedia's FAST-Racing League, an F-Zero-like futuristic racing game set in the year 2112, debuts. It features fast racing for up to four players in multiplayer mode. Players can feed their need for speed at only 1,000 Wii Points ($10).

The second release for WiiWare is a demo of BIT.TRIP VOID, from Gaijin Games. VOID marks the third release of the BIT.TRIP series, and has players controlling a black void trying to capture black dots while avoiding the white ones. The demo version is, as always, free of charge. The full version will set players back 600 Wii Points ($6).

The lone Virtual Console game for the week is Super Adventure Island from Hudson. Master Higgin's first Super NES game retains the challenging platforming the series is known for. Players must keep Master Higgins well fed, otherwise he will lose a life. The game can be downloaded for 800 Wii Points ($8).

DSiWare sees the release of House M.D. Globetrotting from Legacy Interactive, an adventure game where players take control of the infamous doctor as he seeks the answer to a mysterious disease haunting an aging TV host. Players interview patients and figure out many of medicine's mysteries. The game has been priced at 800 Nintendo DSi Points ($8).

The second DSiWare game this week is B Team - Episode 1: Dust and Steel from Subdued Software. The 800 Nintendo DSi Point ($8) title is a squad-based shooting game where players star as a small army against a legion of bad guys such as voodoo warriors and guerrillas.

The final game for the week is Valet Parking 1989 from Zordix AB. The '80s-styled puzzle game lets players take control of various vehicles as they park them before the time runs out. This game has been priced at 500 Nintendo DSi Points ($5).

It gave me lupus. Which is amazing, because it's never lupus.

I'm was very happy to see Super Adventure Island added to the shop today. I had a lot of fun with that game back when I used to rent it on the SNES. I was actually considering picking up a cartridge for $10, but now I don't have to.

Looks like a good update, FAST is supposedly really good (I don't like racing games though so I'm not interested).

House?  DSiWare game?  hmmmm....

Wonder how bad it is.

I recall a Let's Play of a terrible cellphone game, maybe it's related to that garbage.

This is the fifth demo for a Bit.Trip game, so I guess these demos must be working out for that series.. We've now had Beat, Core, Fate, Void, Runner. Is that all of them?
