Xbox 360 owners will have a bit more of a reason to join their upcoming Block Party promotion. While the March initiative is primarily focused on the releases of Toy Soldiers (March 3rd), Scrap Metal (March 10th), Perfect Dark (March 17th), and Game Room (March 24th), Microsoft has also announced that gamers who purchase all 4 titles will receive a 400 MS Point rebate, and Xbox Live Gold members will see an additional month added to their subscription as well. Finally, the weekend following the release of Game Room, all Xbox Live Silver members will be treated to a free multiplayer weekend on Xbox Live for all Block Party titles. Microsoft provided this information with the caveat that all Xbox Live Arcade release dates are subject to change without notice, but we're pretty confident that you'll actually be able to deploy those suitcase guns this time around.
And while its not mentioned here, Megaman 10 is March 31st for XBLA.

Re: WiiWare, XBLA and PSN Thread (WiiWare Demo)
See how long this will last, but shall try and update with new releases on Mon (WiiWare/VC), Wedn (XBLA) and Thurs (PSN)
Notable for Wii this week is
Max and the Magic Marker, which is a game I've been looking forward to for some time. (And already bought.) Thus far its a pretty novel platformer, though what you can do is pretty basic so far.
And FF 2 on Virtual Console, Moogle can probably tell you which FF this is, though I believe its 4.

NINTENDO DOWNLOAD: WITH FANTASY GAMES THIS GOOD, WHY SETTLE FOR REALITY?
March 8, 2010
Sometimes realism is overrated. Don't we all need a regular jolt of fantasy to keep our imaginations alive and kicking? For Wii™ owners, this week's new game lineup is set to deliver exactly that. Max & the Magic Marker for the WiiWare™ service imagines what would happen if your own artistic creation turned against you, while the Virtual Console™ service features a big dose of otherworldly action with the classic FINAL FANTASY® II. Browse all the latest downloadable games for the Wii and Nintendo DSi™ systems to help keep your imagination fueled to the max.
We've also got some free bonus inspiration for you this week: At last September's Penny Arcade Expo, Nintendo invited professional artists to create one-of-a-kind animations using the Flipnote Studio™ application for the Nintendo DSi system. The results are now online and ready for viewing at the Flipnote Hatena site (http://flipnote.hatena.com), including cool clips from top comic artists like Eric Jones, Christina Strain and Mike Choi. Check them out and treat your brain to extra helpings of creative juice.

With the monster on the loose and messing with Max's drawings, Max has no choice but to go after it. Armed with the magic marker, you must help Max track the monster through 15 inventive and challenging levels. You'll need more than good will and quick reflexes to tackle the challenges ahead. Draw freely inside the game to help Max defeat enemies, overcome obstacles and solve puzzles. As you draw stairs, seesaws, balloons, surfboards and whatever else you can think of, your creations will interact with the physical environment, making every session unique.
