Japanese Nintendo downloads: Pilotwings, Bonsai Barber

JC Fletcher — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 15:45:00 EST

Pilotwings, the game that taught us with huge, blocky pixels just what the SNES's scaling and rotation effects could do, touches down on the Japanese Wii Shop this week, along with the world's most beloved game about giving haircuts to personified plants.

DSiWare is a bit less thrilling this week in Japan, with a kanji practice game, some kind of coloring app about color therapy and Gameloft's Legends of Exidia. The complete list of releases follows:

Pilotwings (Super Famicom, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
Bonsai Barber (WiiWare, 1 player, 800 Wii Points)
Renjuku Kanji Shougaku 6 Nensei (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)
DS Kokoro Nurie (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)
Legends of Exidia (DSiWare, 1 player, 800 DSi Points)

There are a couple of interesting games hidden in an unusually crowded lineup of new Nintendo downloads.

European Nintendo downloads: Eco Shooter, Legends of Exidia

JC Fletcher — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:15:00 EST

It's time to show those ... animated ... cans ... who's boss. Intelligent Systems's patently odd shooting game 530 Eco Shooter arrives on WiiWare this week, aiming to fill you with terror at the sight of any preserved vegetable. For those among you who shun can combat, Street Fighter Alpha 2 is also available, in a surprisingly competent SNES port.

On DSiWare, Gameloft has released Legends of Exidia, which is reportedly a port of its mobile game Might and Magic II (not to be confused with the real Might and Magic II) with all the license stuff excised. That's pretty weird.

530 Eco Shooter (WiiWare, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (SNES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
Electroplankton: Luminarrow (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
Electroplankton: Sun-animalcule (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
Legends of Exidia (DSiWare, 1 player, 800 DSi Points)
