There's admittedly not a whole lot to the core Neves gameplay, but it's definitely an addictive design thanks to its simplistic nature. And Yuke's did a great job producing a Wii-specific edition of its Nintendo DS original, improving on nearly every aspect of the game and addressing every single minor issue IGN had with the original game.

Get ready for the adventure of your life as you play the mighty dark knight Cecil on his journey to overcome darkness and destruction in Final Fantasy II on Virtual Console. There is quick fire action on Nintendo DSiWare this week in A Topsy Turvy Life: The Turvys Strike Back as you play the Imperial Armada out to destroy the Earth Defence Force in this wild new take on arcade shooters. Your defensive skills will also be put to the test in Fieldrunners as you defend against countless waves of unique land and air combatants.
GamePro Arcade writes: "For DS owners Neves isn't a new game, it hit about a year ago but unfortunately due to its high price tag didn't sell well on the casual market. Now thanks to Nintendo's WiiWare gamers can get this great game at a more basic price. Neves Plus is basically the same as the DS game, players are given a mix of shapes and have to assort them to make some sort of picture, but with tons of new puzzles and an added multiplayer mode, which is always a plus. But does this live up to the greatness of its DS brethren?"
Nintendo Life writes: "It would be easy to dismiss Neves Plus as nothing more than another feeble attempt to cash in on an age-old puzzle idea, but if you approach it with that attitude, you're likely to miss out on what is ultimately a very charming puzzle experience. It might not be the most original gaming experience out there, but it's got enough style and versatility to make it worth your 600 Nintendo Points. It's certainly a lot better than some of the more original puzzle releases we've seen on the service so far".
