NintendoWare Weekly: Street Slam, Robox

NBA Jam now faces some competition from the Virtual Console for Wii arcade basketball dominance. Well, actually, we doubt anyone in the history of the platform has ever worried about competition from the Virtual Console. In any case, the Neo Geo's Street Slam is available today. It's unrealistic, arcade-style basketball.

Additionally, the WiiWare adventure Robox debuts today, as does a rare WiiWare/DSiWare dual release: Gene Labs, a puzzle action game about healing cells infected by a virus.%Gallery-106367%

WiiWare

• Robox (DreamBox Games, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points): Work together to explore a strange new planet, both as a faulty robot and the indigenous creatures who have taken up residence in the robot's body.
