Japanese Nintendo downloads: Super Famicom Wars, Diner Dash
Nintendo of Japan totally skimped on the digital releases this week. It's actually a bit disconcerting to see a list of releases without a huge DSiWare education or sudoku contingent. If you happen to want to play things on DSiWare (and if you read Japanese) there's a new Jake Hunter adventure, as well as another fascinating cheapo GG Series game, this time featuring a big drill. On Wii, an Advance Wars predecessor is up, as well as Diner Dash, which arrives on WiiWare in Japan first. Super Famicom Wars (Famicom, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points) Diner Dash (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points) GG Series: Drilling Attack! (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points) Detective Saburo Jinguuji: Portrait of the Deceased Child (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)
Mega Man 4, SNES Advance Wars on Virtual Console in February
February's Japanese Virtual Console lineup is exceptionally small -- four games in all -- but all four games are high-quality. In advance of Mega Man 10, Capcom offers Mega Man 4, which, while one of the weaker games in the series, is still a real Mega Man game and thus pretty good. A never-localized (and probably still not to be localized) SNES Advance Wars game will be available sometime in the month, and MSX versions of the familiar Contra and the delightful scrolling puzzle game Quarth. Of course, we've seen zero of these MSX games outside of Japan. Oh, we just made ourselves sad. Famicom: Rockman 4 Super Famicom: Super Famicom Wars MSX: Quarth (Feb. 2) Contra (Feb. 2)
