Wiikly Wares: Gradius Rebirth, Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars
With the release of a glorious, space-faring shooter this week, we're subtly reminded just how much the Wiiware service has in common with the limitless and largely unexplored realm of outer space.

Wiikly Wares: Ogre Battle, Family & Friends Party
This week's downloadable titles on Wii are a mixed bag. We get what appears to be some shovel(Wii)ware, but a tried-and-true classic on the Virtual Console. Sure, it's a niche genre, but it's still 100% classic. Virtual Console Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (SNES, 1 player, Rated E for...

Wiikly Wares: LONPOS, Snowboard Riot, and Sonic Chaos
It's a full week on WiiWare and the Virtual Console for Wii owners. We've got two new WiiWare games, but, sadly, only one Virtual Console game.

It's Monday again, and you know what that means: A new rogue's gallery is easing its way onto the Virtual Console/WiiWare. Let's take a look. WiiWare: High Voltage Hot Rod Show (High Voltage Software, Inc., 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points): It may not be saying much, but this is as close as we usual...
