It's certainly a quiet Friday, with one new title for WiiWare and a pair for DSiWare. Read on to find out what's vying to take your Nintendo Points away from you this week.
WiiWare
Ubongo (Korner Entertainment, 800pts) — The popular board game comes to WiiWare courtesy of Korner, the same team that brought you Fireplacing. With support for four players and various game modes this might be worth a punt for 800 Points, so stay tuned for our upcoming review.
DSiWare
Valet Parking 1989 (Zordix, 500pts) — An unashamedly kitschy celebration of the 1980s that puts you in the shoes of a valet parking assistant in sunny California. We'll see how well this one shapes up in our upcoming review.
GO Series: Tower of Deus (Gamebridge, 200pts) — Another bite-sized title from Gamebridge, you must ascend 40 levels of the titular tower to get to the top and presumably rescue someone. We'll aim to get to the bottom of it with a full review next week.

No demo's?! Darn, I want the Sonic 4 demo.
Unless Ubungo is really, really good. This is a crap update for Wii owners. Not even a demo.

Oh well. Hopefully we're getting Megaman X next week.
@ CMM
We usually get a game every two weeks. This week is our no-VC game week. However...
@ Fuzzy
Maybe. Its not up on the website but Ignition Factor is for the 13th. Whether they will add a game for the 29th remains to be seen. It would suck hard if they didn't though.
too many weeks of fail. I call for the resignation of EU Wii/Dsiware download schedule manager, Happy Easter everyone!
That's crap! Nothing but some Umbongo - it's like my school lunches all over again.
Dismal.
Poor update. Need a review of Ubongo (the 80's advert's tune has been lit up in my head now)
What's Ubongo, the board game, like? I haven't heard of it.
No wiiware demo this week?
another week of extremely piss poor downloads. nintendo are scraping the bottom of the barrel now.
No mega man X?? I guess nintendo of europe figures no one would play games when they could watch... the royal wedding!! yawn
When is Axelay getting a Europe release - its been out in the US for many months. Konami wouldn't comment when I emailed and asked them. They must know it would sell on VC so why have they ignored its release??
