VC/WiiWare Tuesday: Revenge of Clu Clu Land

It may seem like unimaginable luxury to us, but for Japan, a week with just two new games on the Virtual Console and one on WiiWare is light. The last time the releases were this sparse was three weeks ago, with an update that, coincidentally, also included a Sega franchise game (a franchise that also included a Shinobi game) and a WiiWare minigolf title. Spoooooky. We are quite jealous of The Revenge of Shinobi, which Japan gets this week as The Super Shinobi, and which we may never get.

Virtual Console:

• Clu Clu Land (Famicom, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)

• The Super Shinobi (Mega Drive, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)

WiiWare:

• Okiraku Putter Golf (1-8 players, 500 Wii Points)
