VC in Brief: Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (Sega Master System)
Alex Kidd comes to the rescue on the Virtual Console this week. It's more of his usual hijinks in the latest Alex Kidd entry from Sega, as players must call upon the powers of Shinobi -- including platforming, dodging incoming throwing stars and chopping dudes up something fierce. Check it all out in the latest episode of VC in Brief above! Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (Sega Master System, 1 player, 500 Wii Points) Oh, and big ups to reader Cody Borst for creating that sweet new intro. Heck of a job, Cody!

NintendoWare Weekly: Monkey Island, Alex Kidd, Rollway Puzzle
There are a couple of interesting games hidden in an unusually crowded lineup of new Nintendo downloads. The Tales of Monkey Island series concludes, Alex Kidd appears in a weird crossover game, and DSiWare features a game that uses the camera for motion controls.

European Nintendo downloads: Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, Monkey Island
The sole Virtual Console release this week is a reminder of a very odd time: when Sega thought Alex Kidd was a viable character. The company took an in-progress Shinobi parody game called Shinobi Kid, and then added the Alex Kidd character. Someone at Sega was under the impression that a game would sell better with Alex Kidd in it. Also available: more Monkey Island, an expansion of one of Rubik's World's games, and Pallurikio, a cute platformer with a slingshot mechanic. And on DSiWare, it's ... a stripped-down version of Hell's Kitchen!
