European Nintendo downloads: My Zoo, Ninja Gaiden, Rock N’ Roll Climber

November 13th, 2009 at 02:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Today, on the European Wii Shop, Hudson follows up its surprisingly successful My Aquarium with more animals to take care of. Also on WiiWare, Nintendo’s still-weird Balance Board-equipped Rock N’ Roll Climber, whose rock-climbing/air-guitar concept, and whose non-standard apostrophe use we’ll never get used to.

The big draw for us is the arcade brawler version of Ninja Gaiden, which seems fresh to us after 20 years of dodging eagles in the NES game.

ESRB reveals Ninja Gaiden, Rygar, Solomon’s Key on Virtual Console Arcade

August 14th, 2009 at 05:00pm Under Wii / Nintendo

If you, like us, were jealous of the Japanese release of the arcade Ninja Gaiden game on Virtual Console, you can dry your ninja eyes (just pull up the front of the ninja mask and dab with that). The ESRB reveals that Tecmo is planning a North American release of the arcade brawler.

Tecmo isn’t stopping with Gaiden, either: further ESRB listings have appeared for arcade versions of both Rygar and Solomon’s Key (which will be released in Japan next week). Oddly, the company’s other upcoming Japanese VC release, Bomb Jack, is absent from the ESRB list.

At the very least, we can all be happy that these are video games that someone wants to release on the Virtual Console.

VC/WiiWare Tuesday: Yet another game called ‘Ninja Gaiden’

July 28th, 2009 at 01:30pm Under Wii / Nintendo

For its second Virtual Console Arcade release, Tecmo is offering the first, and perhaps least familiar, game to be called Ninja Gaiden. Originally known as Ninja Ryukenden in Japan (as the series in general is), the arcade game looks similar to the NES version millions of gamers love, but is totally different. Unlike the NES game’s fast-paced combat and technical platforming, the original arcade game is more of a brawler. Like Bionic Commando or Strider, Ninja Gaiden became something else entirely in the transition to Nintendo. And now the arcade version is on the same Nintendo platform as the NES game! Magical. The other arcade game is a Namco shooter whose promotional video is more intro than gameplay.

On WiiWare this week, the Okiraku sports/casual game series continues, the JoySound karaoke software arrives in downloadable form, and a game based on Tomy’s toy car series is pretty cute.
