Japanese Nintendo downloads: Nothing this week, arcade classics next week

This week, there are no updates on the Japanese Wii Shop, due to the Obon holiday. Now we know why last week's update was so massive -- it more than compensated for a week off! The Virtual Console, at least, will return next week with four new games. No announcement has been made for WiiWare yet, but we thought we'd share the VC releases.

It's going to be a good week for arcade games! Knuckle Heads, a silly-looking post-Street Fighter II fighting game from Namco, will be available, along with the arcade versions of Bomb Jack and Solomon's Key, two (unfortunately priced) total classics from Tecmo.

• Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey-bu! Subette Koronde Dairantou (Famicom, 1-4 players, 500 Wii Points)

• Solomon's Key (Arcade, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
  

• Knuckle Heads (Arcade, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points)

• Bomb Jack (Arcade, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points)
