WiiWare

  • EQUILIBRIO (DK-GAMES, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): This title is a lot like Kororinpa: you move a ball around a map, trying to gather as many points as you can, until you find the exit. It features four game modes and support for up to four players via local splitscreen.

Virtual Console

  • Uncharted Waters: New Horizons (SNES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Transport yourself back to the time of dysentary and scurvy, as you live through the early 16th century on the hunt for new lands.
