Nintendo starts off the week with a few new WiiWare and Virtual Console games. The Wii-kly releases have been announced. Watch for them on the Wii Shop today from Nintendo (available beginning 9am PST):
WiiWare Release:
Pop'Em Drop'Em SAMEGAME (Hudson Entertainment, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points)
Virtual Console Releases:
Bomberman®'94 (TurboGrafx16, 1-5 players, Rated E for Everyone-Comic Mischief, 700 Wii Points)
DETANA TWIN BEE (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone-Mild Cartoon Violence, 700 Wii Points)
It's no secret that Wii had tons of awesome TurboGrafx titles yet none are available for Wii U. Sure, you can download a few in Japan but we're not as lucky in the west.
More important than that, downloadable GBA and DS games need to be playable on 3DS.
I was just looking at buying a TG16. Boy have they gone up in price. I would love to see some of the better games on wiiu.
Imagine if Nintendo released an online store that has every single game from their past instead of trickling out 2 games a week. Some day maybe..
One of the classic entries of the Bomberman series is going to be released next week on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console, Nintendo confirmed earlier today.
Bomberman, classic games, they need to bring it to the UK virtual console to.
"If you knew in advance that you would be stranded on a desert island, what games would you take to keep yourself entertained while you awaited rescue? Throughout this week, some of us will be answering that very question. Instead of a set number of games, each team member has been given 5000 Wii Points to spend on any combination of titles from the Wii Shop Channel, as well as the chance to nominate one game they just couldn't quite fit into their budget. What games will we choose to help pass the days, weeks and months isolated from civilization? Read on to find out!" -- Wiiloveit.com
