The highlight of this weeks downloads are Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball on XBLA and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars on the Wii Channel. That's right, Pirates and Ninja's just hanging around throwing red dodgeballs at each other. I can just picture Johnny Depp running around the beach dressed like Jack Sparrow, dodgeball in hand. I'm not sure whether the game is any good or not but at least it sounds cool. Gamers can purchase Pirates vs Ninjas on Wednesday for 800MS points.
Also this week, Nintendo celebrates its 250th virtual console release, making classic Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (800 Wii Points) available along with Clu Clu Land (500 points). WiiWare fans can nab My Aquarium (500 points). Read on for all the details.
Editors Note: Looks like Pirates vs Ninjas isn't the only downloadable game on XBLA this week. Shred Nebula (800 pts) and everyone's favorite card game, Gin Rummy (400 pts) will also be available.
Its difficult to type while wearing boxing gloves but somehow Strong Bad, the most popular character on the Flash animated internet cartoon Homestar Runner, does it with flair.

Does Homestar Runner's transition from web cartoon to video game work? Let's put it this way, after playing this title you'll be lining up to the right to personally give the lucha libre mask wearer some high fives.
And its about frickin' time - Starting Monday the 11th gamers can finally get their hands on the first episode of "Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People". The first of five monthly episodes, Homestar Ruiner, will be available on the Wii and PC.
If you're not familiar with the series, you owe it to yourself to head to Homestar Runner immediately. Snuggle up and get acquainted, you won't be sorry. Look for the review Monday.
In the meantime, check out the details on Monday's release.
Major League Eating: The Game is exactly what you would expect it to be, including all of the burping and farting that you can handle. This barf-fest uses the same mechanic for each stage and there is no sense of any progression through the single player mode.
