Japanese Nintendo downloads: Super Famicom Wars, Diner Dash

by JC Fletcher on Feb 16th 2010 12:00PM

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)

Let's hope they bring Super Famicom Wars to other regions. I've been waiting for Ogre Battle 64, any Famicom Wars, and Seiken Densetsu 3 to come to me for too long.

Unless you know how to fluently read Japanese I don't think it would be a good fit. The Japanese games Nintendo has allowed for import typically don't need to understand the language to enjoy such as platforms or shooters, but something like this would be incredibly hard for anyone who isn't 100% fluent.

Ogre Battle 64 is very likely to appear on VC soon

Super Famicom Wars on the Famicom? That's a neat trick. Unless you meant to say it was a Super Famicom game (hint: it was).

I do so want it brought stateside, though (translated, hopefully). It was, IMO, the best game in the Wars series.
