VC Friday: Tabletop Time

This week's PAL WiiWare update features two games that have already come out in North America, one of which has been out for pretty much forever — fossil record indicates dinosaurs playing it, T-Rex buried in the midst of awkwardly trying to waggle with its useless forelegs. According to WiiWare World's review, Next Level Games' Jungle Speed actually seems to be a good time, and a much more energetic experience than might be expected from a card game.

As for Family Table Tennis — we still like the game, but we're a bit sad to say it's up to 800 points now. First, Nintendo says it's going to raise Wii prices, and now a moderate price hike on cheap WiiWare games? Lousy worldwide economic crisis ...

• Jungle Speed — WiiWare — 1,000 Wii Points
• Family Table Tennis — WiiWare — 800 Wii Points

As usual, enjoy videos of both games after the break.
