Under Wii / Nintendo
Another ridiculous overload of content today on the Japanese Wii and DSi Shops. Not so much in WiiWare, whose only release this week is The Incredible (and incredibly avoidable) Maze, but Virtual Console and DSiWare are absolutely stuffed with games!
Weirdly, there are two map-based puzzle games on DSiWare. One, Map Map! is a series of puzzle, and the other, Sekai Tanken Kokki World Map, is a quiz game. Also available: a cute puzzle game from the G.G. Series, in which you drop blocks to build a path for a character, a mini version of Paint by DS, more Jake Hunter, and a really cute game from Mother 3 developer Brownie Brown about leading a kappa along paths of coins.
- Chokkan! Balance Labyrinth (WiiWare, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
- Final Fight Tough (Super Famicom, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
- Yie Ar Kung Fu 2 (MSX, 800 Wii Points)

Under DS
The WiiWare demo service arrives in Europe today, though a bit light on content compared to other regions. On the upside, both of the demos offered are for games that cost 1,500 Wii Points, which means you could save a pretty large chunk of change if you discover (somehow) that you don’t like World of Goo.
In terms of stuff you pay for, Shootanto is going to be totally overshadowed by Pokemon Rumble. DSiWare has a decent selection of games, including something that looks kind of like Defend Your Castle, a few card games, and myNotebook.
- Pokemon Rumble (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 1,500 Wii Points)
- Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem (WiiWare, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Army Defender (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
- A Little Bit of … All-Time Classics: Strategy Games (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)
- myNotebook: Blue (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
- Uno (DSiWare, 1-6 players, 500 DSi Points)
- Demos: Pokemon Rumble, World of Goo (free)

Under Wii / Nintendo
Just like last week, the original version of a game remade on DS has been released on Virtual Console in Japan: last week it was Kirby Super Star, and this week it’s Fire Emblem. We’re guessing this is a coincidence, otherwise it’s a really weird initiative. Also like last week, Namco Bandai releases a pair of arcade games in the same series, this time the more recognizable Dig Dug. And WiiWare returns! … With Uno.
On DS, there’s another chunk of The Tower DS, more Japanese city maps, and some English training.
- Fire Emblem: Dragon of Darkness and Sword of Light (Famicom, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
- Dig Dug (Arcade, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
- Dig Dug II (Arcade, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
- Uno (WiiWare, 1-6 players, 800 Wii Points)
- The Tower DS: Challenge in front of the suburban train station! Gigantic Shopping Center (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)
- Pocket Rurubu: Kamakura and Pocket Rurubu: Osaka (DSiWare, 1 player, 800 DSi Points each)
- High School English Foundation 400 Word Master (DSiWare, 1 player, 800 DSi Points)

Under Xbox 360
Amazon is running an Xbox Live promotion that guarantees awesome multiplayer fun in one of three games, unless you don’t have any friends, or, uh, don’t like these games. Okay, maybe it encourages awesome multiplayer fun. Today, if you purchase Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter II’ Hyper Fighting, or Uno from Amazon, you’ll receive a code for another download of the same game, to give to a second player.
You haven’t lived until you’ve unlocked the secret Dan character in Puzzle Fighter and experienced the kind of defeat that comes from only being able to drop red blocks on your opponent’s screen. It’s a thrilling way to … lose spectacularly.
