House M.D. diagnoses DSi Shop today

Hugh Laurie’s “House” may be done for the season, but the good doctor will continue to practice on the DSi Shop this Summer in House M.D.: Globetrotting.

The Trauma Center-like title is joined in today’s DSi Shop update by B Team Episode 1: Dust & Steel, a “hilarious” squad-based shooter, and Valet Parking 1989, a parking puzzle game with a Big Hair Decade twist.

The Wii Shop will receive two new games this week, Shin’en Multimedia’s futuristic racer FAST: Racing League on the WiiWare side and the Super NES classic Super Adventure Island on the Virtual Console side.

More information on all of these games can be found after the break.
