NES: Yoshi’s Cookie, 500 Wii Points

This early puzzler starring Yoshi has you sliding rows or columns of cookies about, trying to creates one whole row or column of the same cookie to make it disappear. This simple premise comes with just about 100 stages in single-player mode, though a multiplayer mode is available as well; try to attack your opponent while making your cookies disappear.

 

NES: Bases Loaded, 500 Wii Points

This NES baseball title is, if Wikipedia is to be believed, one of the more popular and entertaining baseball titles available on the NES. As you play, you’ll choose one of 12 teams, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses, then choose a lineup from a roster of 30 players to try and win the pennant. As seen above, this game features angles as would be seen on television, as you control the pitching, the batter, and everyone else on the field; you can even try to provoke one of the team’s batters into charging the mound. You can play one game single-player or multiplayer, or try and win the pennant.
