WiiWare: Niki – Rock ’n’ Ball, 500 Wii Points
This game categorizes itself under "Jump ’n’ Roll" and "Platformer". Playing as the bouncing ball Niki, you’re tasked with defeating the monsters in every stage by transforming into Niki Rock, as well as finding all of the ZeiLei Pearls in order to save your village. Featuring realistic physics and precision timing, this game can be played with Retro or Wii controls.
Master System: Wonder Boy In Monster Land, 500 Wii Points
Wonder Land is under assault again, this time at the hands of a fire-breathing, apparently invincible dragon, who is using his armies to turn Wonder Land into Monster Land. As Wonder Boy, you’ll wander through overworlds and dungeons in this title, defeating enemies with Special Weapons and Spells. The press release classifies this game as an "action" title, and not a platformer.
Why only two games this week, I wonder? If there was no other WiiWare, surely they could have gotten another Virtual Console release ready to go. They’re got a huge catalog to go through.
