NintendoWare Weekly: Pearl Harbor Trilogy, 101 Shark Pets

The Virtual Console is resting for the holiday, but Nintendo has attempted to compensate for its absence with so much DSiWare. If you like ... browsing the DSi Shop, this is the week for you.

Meanwhile, WiiWare has two games, including a WWII air combat game that sounds surprisingly full-featured for WiiWare.

WiiWare

• Pearl Harbor Trilogy - 1941: Red Sun Rising (Legendo Entertainment, 1 player, 700 Wii Points): This air combat game features dogfights, search-and-destroy missions, and two historically-based campaigns.

• Cruise Party (Enjoy Gaming, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points): It's the kind of cruise in which you spend the whole trip gambling, apparently: you can play slots, roulette, blackjack, or "video" poker (quotes are Nintendo's, not ours -- we suppose it's an in-game simulation of video poker?)

DSiWare

• QuickPick Farmer (Dancing Dots, 1 player, 200 DSi Points): It's a puzzle game about shearing identical sheep and getting the wool into your barn before a wolf attacks.

• Soul of Darkness (Gameloft, 1 player, 500 DSi Points): Gameloft bites Castlevania's style in an action game that was well-received in its mobile incarnation.

• SteamWorld Tower Defense (Image & Form, 1 player, 500 DSi Points): As a robot sheriff, you build robots and structures to prevent filthy humans from invading and stealing your gold. Lousy humans.

• 101 Shark Pets (Teyon, 1 player, 500 DSi Points): Feed, train, and play with as many sharks as you dare to adopt.

• Hello Flowerz (Enjoy Gaming, 1 player, 500 DSi Points): Grow and arrange flowers in this gardening simulation.

• Flips: The Folk of the Faraway Tree (EA, 1 player, 500 DSi Points): Children climb a magical tree and visit the "Land of Secrets" and the "Land of Treats," both of which are apparently somewhere in the tree, in this ebook from EA.
