Wii-kly Virtual Console and WiiWare Update
by Rangebar Merani on March 30, 2009 at 9:56 am
I know, I know. I haven’t kept up with my Wii-kly Virtual Console and WiiWare update for the past two weeks or so, but I’m back with this week’s edition and it’s a fairly special one. Why so special you ask?
Well according to Nintendo, this is “The Farewell Edition” of their normal Wii-kly Update press release because starting next week, with the April 5 release of the DSi, they will be opening the Nintendo DSi Shop. So from now on this Wii-kly update will feature not only new downloadable titles for the Wii, but also for the DSi. So now I’ve got to come up with a new name for this post by next week. Any recommendations?

Some pretty good ones this week with LIT for the WiiWare, a horror/puzzle game involving creatures of the night taking over a high school, and a SEGA Genesis oldie in Wolf of the Battlefield: MERCS. I’ve posted the trailer for LIT below and I’ve got to admit the game looks pretty cool and is possibly one of the better WiiWare games that has came out as of lately.

Wii-kly Virtual Console and WiiWare Update
by Rangebar Merani on December 8, 2008 at 11:25 amMonday again folks, and that means more releases of your favorite old-school games on the Virtual Console and a few new picks for the WiiWare. The VC gets a fan favorite in Sonic The Hedgehog 2, but not the pretty Genesis version, but the crappy Sega Master System version, which was also on the Game Gear. Not bad, but the Genesis version is already on the Virtual Console, so who want to download this version?
The WiiWare gets two random games, as usual, in Bruiser and Scratch, a game that involves a cat and a dog solving mysteries together, and Hockey Allstar Shootout, a game of shootouts between you and the goalie, but oddly enough, there aren’t any real “Allstars” in the game.
