    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! Pallurikio (WiiWare, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points) Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH (WiiWare, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points) Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 4 (WiiWare, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points) Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (Sega Master System, 1 player, 500 Wii Points) PictureBook Games: The Royal Bluff (DSiWare, 1-4 players, 500 DSi Points) Hell's Kitchen Vs.
