Surprisingly, it didn't take Nintendo that long to flip the switch for North America, considering the company revealed the long-overdue feature -- and day-one annoyance -- only earlier this month. And on top of the free trial versions of select WiiWare titles (five total this week!), there are also two new Virtual Console titles to enjoy, as well as three new DSiWare games. Hit the break for the full list.

We now have dates for exciting third-party games like Space Invaders Extreme 2 (October 20) and A Witch's Tale (October 6), and Phantasy Star Zero (November 10). But Nintendo also revealed several DSiWare titles for the first time!

The company will follow this week's Art Academy with Art Academy: Second Semester on September 28, followed in Q4 by a DSiWare version of the bit Generations title Digidrive. We're interested in seeing whether Skip takes over or whether Pixeljunk developer Q-Games remakes its GBA game.

In other DSiWare news, the Electroplankton titles are due out in Q4, as is Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon, which we don't know anything about, Sparkle Snapshots, Picturebook Games: The Royal Bluff, and -- this is going to freak iPhone gamers out -- Fieldrunners!

We found inspiration for today's video in the discussion about Q-Games' mysterious DS title. We referred to their bit Generations game Digidrive in that post, but it really takes a look at the game in motion to understand it. And even that probably won't fully explain it. Since we never got any of the bit Generations games in the U.S., this may be your first look at one of these abstract, experimental, weird GBA games. If you like what you see, you can get the game for $10 right now at Play-Asia, along with Dialhex and Boundish.

We have enough trouble keeping Q-Games and Q? Entertainment (Tetsuya Mizuguchi's company) separate in our minds. Q-Games doing a game like this doesn't help.

Q-Games alternates between independent development and "second-party" status with Nintendo. That's just one of the perks of having helped create Star Fox, as founder Dylan Cuthbert did. Lately, they've been making the PixelJunk series of high-res downloadable games for the PlayStation Network, having finished up Star Fox Command for Nintendo.

Cuthbert revealed in a Siliconera interview that, in addition to a new PixelJunk title, the company is working on another DS game for Nintendo. Will it be a Star Fox sequel or something interesting? As developers of the Bit Generations title Digidrive, Q-Games has shown a flair for abstract stuff.

Play-Asia is clearing out a bunch of GBA stuff, and passing the disappointment losses savings on to you, the customer! They've marked some very interesting items down to very interesting prices, and as of right now there are still limited quantities available of most of it.

Three of the bit Generations games, Digidrive, Boundish, and Dialhex, are available for $9.90 each, and Soundvoyager for $14.90. Donkey Kong: King of Swing is only $7.90. Perhaps most excitingly, the Japanese version of Mother 3 (as if there is any other version) is marked down to $14.90. There's a nice selection of cheapo Japanese games, so get out your iMoney and start e-browsing those virtual shelves!

For the next week, online shop Play-Asia will be selling all of its in-stock items at a 20% discount, excluding weekly specials or anything released in the past 30 days -- cross Jump Ultimate Stars and Doki Doki Majo Shinpan off of your to-buy list. All of the import retailer's eligible products have been marked with the smoothie icon shown on the right, so it's easy to spot which games are on sale. We've picked out several noteworthy bargains that you might want to consider:
Though the sale doesn't end until next Friday, a lot of these items won't stay in-stock for long. Don't be that guy who has to leave a comment about missing out on a particular deal!
