NintendoWare Weekly: Thorium Wars and a Word about Final Fantasy



It's a light load this week for Nintendo aficionados. With only a trio of new downloads available, this week's offerings pale in comparison to the robust lineup of last week, but, alas, we must soldier on. Despite a lack of quantity this week, quality is here, as Nintendo and Square Enix have finally made good on their promise to bring Final Fantasy to the Virtual Console.

See the full release details after the break.

DSiWare
  • Thorium Wars (Big John Games, 1 player, 1,000 DSi Points): In Thorium Wars, the world is being attacked by the Thorians, a "super species of Thorium-based machines." Players must use an arsenal of tanks, skyfighters, yogurt, hovercrafts, marsupials, gunboats, starfighters and kitchen sinks.
WiiWare
  • Word Searcher (Digital Leisure Inc., 1 player, 500 Wii Points): Featuring over 100 themed word-search puzzles, there really isn't much else to say about the game. There are words and you search for them.
Virtual Console
  • Final Fantasy (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points):The game that spawned one of the most popular series of all time finally hits the Virtual Console. What? You thought the game was only the basis for a pretty funny comic?
