Japanese Nintendo downloads: LostWinds, Phalanx
Two WiiWare titles make the journey from the West to Japan today, both published by Square Enix. Just as it did for the first LostWinds, the publisher has brought the sequel to Japan for a holiday release. School of Darkness is actually WayForward's Lit, under a different, but equally literal, title. Also of note: the remake/port of the shooter Phalanx arrives!
DSiWare is a bit less thrilling, with the standout release being the cleverly tilt-controlled Katamuction.
