VC Friday: Hudson Powers Up

This week in Europe, Hudson Soft has one release on all three Wii download services. That's a pretty impressive feat, even if the individual games don't seem that exciting. We suppose 50 sudoku puzzles for 200 points is nice, and SimEarth is a good game.

The Hudson releases are joined by Taito's Puzzle Bobble/Bust a Move update and by Altered Beast. Now, we love Altered Beast more than most people (by which we mean we love it some), but 900 points for the arcade version? What's that about?

WiiWare:

• Puzzle Bobble Plus! (1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
• Water Warfare (1-2 players offline, 2-8 online, 800 Wii Points)

Virtual Console:

• Altered Beast (Arcade, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points)
• SimEarth (Turbografx-16 CD-ROM, 1 player,800 Wii Points)
  

DSiWare:

• Sudoku 50 for Beginners (1 player, 200 DSi Points)
