DSiWare: Art Style: Boxlife, 500 Nintendo Points
Like the other Art Style games, Boxlife is very simple and straightforward; using the stylus, you’ll be cutting paper into box shapes, then assembling them into boxes as fast as you can lest you be penalized. You have R&D mode where you learn new patterns and move up the ranks, or Factory mode, which is an endless paper cutting mode. As you get promoted, you’ll get more money to buy things for your character’s tiny garden.
WiiWare: Drill Sergeant Mindstrong, 800 Wii Points

WiiWare: Family Mini Golf, 500 Wii Points
The family’s back with another new sport to play. As you go through several mini-golf courses, you’ll encounter bumpers, speed ramps, fans and other random obstacles. You can also head online and download new courses for you and up to seven others to tackle.
WiiWare: Neves Plus, 600 Wii Points
The popular new puzzler has arrived on WiiWare; rotate the given blocks into the correct shapes to find the solution to over 500 different block puzzles. This version of the game also includes several new multiplayer modes, including Versus, Speed, Lucky Number and Party Mode.
TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM: SimEarth: the Living Planet, 800 Wii Points
Life is slowly taking shape on the surface of the planet Earth; it’s up to you, as some sort of omnipotent deity, to carefully maintain the planet’s conditions and atmosphere so that your civilization can thrive until it branches out to other planets. You’ll have to make some very subtle changes if you want to get anywhere, as large-scale transformations will spell doom for your fledgling life forms. You can also try your hand at terraforming Mars or Venus.
I remember buying SimEarth on PC a long time ago, when I was way too young to know how to play it. I didn’t get very far.
