I just got fieldrunners (fieldrunner? whatever) for the psp and I'm quite hooked. I know psp also has the pixeljunk monsters (or whatever) and I think one more for the psp mini... but any else?
I'll accept websites that can be run on the wii browser that I can play. I WON'T BE HAPPY ABOUT IT BUT I WILL ACCEPT. TRUST ME.

PixelJunk Monsters is my favorite tower defense game. And, I think the retail PSP UMD version is only $7 at KMart. Savage Moon on PSP (PSN download) is pretty good too. It's difficult and the interface is a little clunky, but it's a lot like the Starship Troopers movies if you like sci-fi.
There are a couple on Wiiware... Robocalypse Beaver Defense and Crystal Defenders, and a cheap Wii retail game called Defendin' the Penguin. I haven't played any of the Wii tower defense games.

Vector TD for PSP is a neat vector-based tower defense PSP Mini. (Works on PSP and PS3).

I second the recommendation for PixelJunk Monsters, quite a fun game and the UMD is a true bargain. If you have a spare dollar in Xbox Live points, there's a pretty cool lil' tower defense game in the Indie Games section called Sketchy Tower Defense that I've found to be more than worthy of its 80 point investment.

A great one with many ways to play each level and see how you score against your friends on xbox is defense grid.

Crystal Defenders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Defenders) is a Final Fantasy themed tower defense game that seems to be out on every console/platform.
Then there's the best tower defense game available, Plants vs. Zombies...but the XBLA version is gimped since the game was designed for touch screens.

Yeah Plants vs. Zombies is awesome! Just beat it myself, but stopped at 175 / 200 Gamerscore and didn't do the damn 40 flags on endless survival.
I'm highly interested in this thread as well. Unfortunately no nominations from myself but I do love this genre! Also interested in any Xbox 360 / Arcade or Wii games that fit the bill.
I would nominate Swords and Soldiers on Wii as an EXCELLENT 2D strategy game. Fast paced, 3 factions, excellent controls and plenty of achievements to keep the 100% completionist busy for weeks. A true must play IMO if you like strategy games.

I do not know if it will work in Wii, etc. browser. It is a flash game.

Good call, downloaded it last night and like it so far. It doesn't seem "that" special, but damn is it addictive!
Though it is also frustrating... levels seem easy enough to beat, but I'm having a hell of a time with the Gold Medals. I only played for 2 hours last night, but it seems like everytime I beat a level, I'm always one core short. It's ridiculous actually, I do great all level then one squeeked through right at the end. Pisses me off royally.

Ninja Town on the DS is really fun. Lock's Quest is good as well.
