WiiWare
Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth Publisher: Konami Digital Entertainment Players: 1 ESRB Rating: T (Teen) - Animated Blood, Fantasy Violence Price: 1,000 Wii Points™ Description: Another 100 years have passed since the death of Count Dracula, but his curse has emerged once again within the realms of Transylvania. Play the role of the ultimate gothic hero from the long lineage of vampire hunters, the Belmont clan, and rid the universe of Dracula's legion of darkness and doom. Based on the classic 1989 original Castlevania: The Adventure, this WiiWare version will allow players of a new generation - and older fans - to experience one of the most popular games within the storied Castlevania timeline from a new perspective.
Eat! Fat! FIGHT! Publisher: TECMO Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief Price: 1,000 Wii Points Description: Forget about being healthy. Here's a game that celebrates eating, getting fat and fighting. Hold the Wii Remote controller horizontally and tilt it left, right, up or down to perform all kinds of lifts and throws just like in real sumo. There are also hidden moves like suplexes and scrapbusters thrown in for fun. Use all the moves you learn in tournaments around the world to reach the peak of sumo and become a yokozuna. In ONE PLAYER mode, play eating or sparring mini-games to make your wrestler stronger and change his look. You can also use your own Mii™ character's face on your wrestler. In TWO PLAYER mode, take on another person using default wrestlers or the wrestlers that you have created. (Additional accessories are required for two-player mode and are sold separately.) Chow down, bulk up and fight on to become the strongest sumo wrestler ever.
RABBIDS LAB Publisher: Ubisoft Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Cartoon Violence Price: 500 Wii Points Description: A raving Rabbid is stuck inside the Wii Remote controller. Come play with him. First, try interacting with him by moving the Wii Remote or pressing the buttons and seeing how much he loves it. Once you've gotten to know the crazy guy, it's time to change his appearance in the Lab. Mess with his head and place seasonal accessories on him, or change his look entirely with the painting module. When you've made your raving Rabbid completely unique, you can take a photo and send it in a Wii™ message to show your Wii Friends (broadband Internet connection required).
The Magic Obelisk Publisher: GAME ARTS Co., Ltd. Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Comic Mischief Price: 500 Wii Points Description: The Magic Obelisk is an action-adventure game in which you become Popo, a light spirit. Your mission is to guide Lukus, a tree spirit, to each stage's goal while moving only within the shadow. You can help him do this by shining your light near the mysterious magic obelisks, allowing you to create and connect shadows to solve tricks and gimmicks along the way. Join Lukus as he travels through a light-filled realm filled with quirky creatures and spirits, trying to find the perfect spot to become a tree. Experience meaningful encounters and partings, climb hills, cross rivers and traverse a vast desert on your way to the very edge of the world.
Virtual Console
PilotWings Original platform: Super NES™ Publisher: Nintendo Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Mild Violence Price: 800 Wii Points Description: Join the Flight Club to take to the skies and experience a variety of aerial activities. Take off and pilot a biplane through rings along a predetermined flight path, or drift serenely in a hang glider, catching thermal currents to gain altitude. In either case, just be sure to stick the landing. Looking for more speed? Strap on the rocket belt to blast your way around an obstacle course. If that's not enough, reach maximum velocity as you tackle a skydiving lesson at 3,800 feet. Complete specific objectives within a set time limit to score points (and maybe even a bonus chance) and obtain certification in eight different lessons. Your goals will become more challenging, and weather conditions will make controlling your vehicle more difficult as you progress. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with the opportunity to pilot an attack helicopter on a daring rescue mission. It's time to earn your wings.
Nintendo DSiWare
The Oregon Trail Publisher: Gameloft Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Comic Mischief, Mild Cartoon Violence, Use of Tobacco Price: 800 Nintendo DSi Points™ Description: Westward, ho!

Play eight skill-based mini-games that will impact your resources: Hunting, Fishing, River Crossing, Rafting, Wagon Repairing, Telegraph, Berry Picking and Gold Panning. Random events faced by real pioneers - such as disease, bandits and hitchhikers - and side missions add more excitement to your westward trek.
SUDOKU SENSEI Publisher: Hudson Entertainment Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Introducing 100 “Super Hard Puzzles” for the hardened sudoku veteran. All puzzles are skillfully designed for a level of satisfaction that computer-generated puzzles just can't offer. You can play through puzzles to learn about rules and controls in Tutorials mode.

Arcade Hoops Basketball Publisher: Skyworks Interactive, Inc. Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points Description: From Skyworks comes the slickest basketball game for the Nintendo DSi system. See how many baskets you can sink in a fast-moving 45 seconds, using only your stylus and, of course, your lightning-fast hand-eye coordination. Arcade Hoops features your choice of three rockin' soundtracks, state-of-the-art 3-D graphics and thrilling, high-speed game play for the most fun possible in under a minute. Advanced hoopsters can move on to the progressive level, where a moving basket provides an additional challenge - plus the chance to rack up even more points. For the real pros, there's 3 Point mode, where speed and accuracy are a must as you shoot “threes” from downtown.

Woot! Definitely looking forward to getting Pilotwings on VC and especially Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth and The Magic Obelisk on WiiWare. Great, great update.
Europe has a lot to catch up on wiiware. Excitebike, Bit Trip Void & now Castlevania. Hopefully 1 game each week for the next 3 weeks would be nice or one massive update!!
That's OK if it is. My wallet needs a rest for a while.
Until next week. LOL. I think this will be the last huge update for a while, back to 1-1-1 updates for a couple months. At least that's what I think.
NO!!! No more 1-1-1 updates!!!!! DSiWare and WiiWare should atleast be getting 2 or 3 per week!!! I don't want to return to those dark sad days of only 3 games per week.
I love rpgs and platformers the most... racing games are good too! I have a black dsi and a blue 3DS. :D "Sometimes we put up walls, not to keep people out, but rather to see who will take the time to break them down." 3DS friend code: 3695 0029 5257
I'm with 20thPaul on this one. Return to dark, dreary days=BAD! There's also no point in it, since we KNOW Nintendo's got a lot of games lined up for release as it is. Speaking of which, I bet Squenix is PISSED now that FFIV didn't hit before year's end like they announced it would SIX MONTHS AGO. If Nintendo causes them to stop supporting VC by pulling crap like this, I am going to be VERY upset.
My Backloggery Updated sporadically. Got my important online ID's on there, anyway. :P
Sweet update! I honestly didn't expect Castlevania today but I have exactly 1000 points waiting to be spent on it. Pilotwings is also a welcome addition. As for there only being one VC title, I kind of expected that to happen after the holidays were over. We've caught up to Europe on the important stuff and hopefully they'll get a chance to catch up to us, although I fully expect a slew of imports to come to that region fairly soon, if not starting this Friday. I'd like to see more balance between North America and Europe as far as high profile VC releases are concerned, in 2010.
Future Wii purchases: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Metroid: Other M Zelda Wii New Super Mario Bros. Wii Sin and Punishment 2
Guess I'll be the only one checking out Oregon Trail.
lol, the best part of that game in school was leaving funny headstones and having your friends stumble across them over the network. sounds like it'll be a blast from the past for me. :3
BEST THREAD EVER future of NL >:3
