A DSiWare/eShop-heavy week featuring 3D golfing, ropes that burn and brothers who brawl.

Six new games have been added to Nintendo's download services, with DSiWare and eShop receiving the most titles.

The lone eShop-exclusive title is Gameloft's Let's Golf 3D. Players will be able to fully customize their golfers and take them through exotic locations. The game is available for download for $6.99.

Three titles are newly available to both DSi and 3DS owners. The first of these is GO Series Portable Shrine Wars from Gamebridge. Featuring mikoshi (Japanese Shinto portable shines), Shrine Wars is a racing game where players carry the Shrine and beat opposing teams. It is available for $1.99.

The second game this week is My Australian Farm. The title, available for $1.99, let's players create their own farms, attend to various exotic animals, and sell goods to other characters.

The third and final DSiWare/eShop game for the week is Oscar's World Tour from Virtual Playground. A platforming game, players take control of Oscar as he travels through various places around the world, such as Europe, Africa and more. It is available for $4.99.

A Virtual Console game also makes an appearance in the update. Brawl Brothers from Jaleco is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game originally released in 1993. It can be obtained for only for 800 Wii Points ($8).

The only WiiWare game for the week is Burn the Rope from Big Blue Bubble Inc. A puzzle game, the objective behind Burn the Rope is to try and completely burn the rope. The catch, though, is that the flame burns upward, meaning that players must turn the rope around in order to prevent the fire from going out. It is available for 1,000 Wii Points ($10).

When I heard Burn the Rope was coming, I thought it was talking about this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRLw61_50SI

Totally not the same game.

The sad thing is, if they put a 3D-ified version of You Have To Burn The Rope on 3DS, I'd probably buy it for $3-$4 if only because the end song is badass.

No 3DS VC for the second straight week.
