VC/WiiWare Friday: Happy Hanabi Festival
Nintendo of Europe’s Hanabi Festival returns, bringing with it, of course, import games! Fantastic stuff is available this week on Virtual Console: Pulseman, a Mega Man-style platformer from a pre-Pokemon Game Freak, and Ogre Battle, the legendary strategy title from Yasumi Matsuno’s Quest.
This week’s awesomeness extends to WiiWare, with both Bplus’s Bit Boy!!, the maze action game that shuffles between various levels of retro, and Gradius Rebirth, which settles at the 16-bit era. And on DSiWare, the Mario calculator and clock apps arrive. Roll your eyes all you want, but they’re surprisingly delightful. Details after the break.
Nintendo also announced Hanabi Festival titles you can expect in following weeks: Bomberman ‘94, Kirby’s Dream Land 3, Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II, MUSHA, Detana!! Twinbee, and the NES Smash Table Tennis!

VC Friday: Resistance is futile
EX-TERM-IN-ATE! EX-TERM-IN-ATE! Wait, no, those are the other ones. But whatever. The point is: after hearing nothing about Space Invaders Get Even! for months, the game has randomly appeared on the European and Australian Wii Shops. We are unashamedly jigging with joy as we type this. And the extra-terrestial goodness doesn’t stop there, for Alien Crush Returns has also joined the line-up. Needless to say, we wholeheartedly welcome our new rulers (of all our spare time).
The other game is Brain Challenge. Sorry, Brain Challenge.
- Alien Crush Returns — WiiWare — 800 Nintendo Points
- Brain Challenge — WiiWare — 1000 Nintendo Points
- Space Invaders Get Even! — WiiWare — 500 Nintendo Points

VC Tuesday: Party time! Excellent!
Filed under: Virtual Console, Imports, WiiWare
How can the Wii have been in stores for two years without a Tetris game? At least Hudson is compensating for the lack of the staple video game with one that is both awesome-looking and cheap. It’s being joined on WiiWare by a cheapo darts game and Brain Challenge — which was actually pretty good on the DS.
On the Virtual Console, a super old sidescroller from Sunsoft that looks like a slowed-down, more awkward Legend of Kage, and a totally cute Taito classic!
Virtual Console releases:
- Kanshakudama Nage Kantarou no Toukaidou Gojuusan Tsugi (Famicom, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)
- The New Zealand Story (PC Engine, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
WiiWare releases:
- Darts Wii (1-4 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Brain Challenge (1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points)
- Tetris Party (1-6 players, 1,200 Wii Points)
