VC-Reviews.com says that Nintendo has recently had a press release telling
USA what the first Wii Ware launch games are going to be! Although I find no mention of it over at

It's the second week of the Hanabi festival, and the EUVC has had some pretty interesting games added to its library.
NEW+ Break In (TurboGraFX - 700 Points)
The makers of pinball classics Alien Crush and Devil’s Crush turn their hands to billiards. In the story-driven Simulation mode, play your way out of trouble when you stow aboard a cruise liner. In Action mode, hone your skills against the computer or up to three friends, and try some trick shots in Technique mode.
NEW+ Cho Aniki (TurboGraFX - 900 Points)
Cho Aniki (meaning ‘Muscle Brothers’) is a quirky Japanese side-scrolling shooter that pits a flying hero or heroine against an onslaught of unusual enemies, assisted by the musclebound siblings Samson and Adon, who would go on to star in their own sequels.
NEW+ Metal Slug (NEOGEO - 900 Points)
NEOGEO returns to Virtual Console with this all-time run ‘n’ gun favourite! Battle through waves of comical enemy troops, on foot or behind the wheel of the titular tank, rescuing POWs as you go. Heavy on laughs and on action, Metal Slug offers the ultimate arcade-style experience
.
NEW+ Puyo Puyo 2 (MegaDrive - 800 Points)
The quintessential head-to-head puzzle game from Japan, Puyo Puyo 2, pits you against a human or computer opponent as you arrange falling ‘Puyo’ into like-coloured chains, to send filler blocks to scupper your rival – before they do the same to you!
\o/ The long lost NEOGEO makes an appearance, AND with Metal Slug.

N+, poll, members, everybody votes
...
Last week we wanted to know how you preferred to control Mario Kart Wii, and the Wii Wheel stole the show with 69% of the total vote. Sadly, 23% of you haven't played it yet (you're missing out!). The Wii Remote and nunchuk controls followed with 8%, the Classic Controller received 4% of the vote, and apparently no one controls Mario Kart Wii with the Gamecube controller. Interesting...
In a non-Mario Kart poll, we want to know a little more about the recently released Nintendo Channel. Perfect timing, Nintendo, perfect timing...
What is your favorite feature in the Nintendo Channel?
- Watching video clips/info videos of games
- Watching interviews with game developers
- Searching for games
- Easy purchase of new games
- Recommending games you've played
- Downloading DS demos wirelessly from your Wii
- Other
- None (yet!) I live in Europe!
As always, votes can be cast in the sidebar on the right, and you must be a member of N+ to vote. Feel free to comment on your choice below! I think I have to go with the DS demos... that's just so cool!

It should be a perfect match. Doctor Who is superb. Top Trumps are ace. It's just that a "virtual" game of Top Trumps: Doctor Who doesn't appeal. It's coming to the DS this Spring, and whilst they've tried their best to spice up the basic card game, I don't think Eidos will have a bestseller on their hands.
The game does boast a host of gameplay modes, and if you love the Good Doctor as much as my little brother, you'll probably be interested in getting this. Although the above screenshot is from the PS2/PC version, it gives you a taste of what the game will be like.
It features most of the characters from the new series, but if it hasn't got Sally Sparrow in it, I'm not buying...

Renegade™ (NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Up - Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points):
Renegade follows the story of a vigilante who fights his way through countless gangs in order to bring peace back to his city. Battle your way through subways, parks, alleyways and parking lots. For added fun, there's a wild motorcycle ride to challenge you. Use your arsenal of kicks, punches (including the infamous sit-on punch) and jump kicks, as well as a variety of throws to knock your opponents into submission. Along the way, pick up items like a hamburger that restores your life, a heart that increases your lives by one, a power-up to increase your attack strength, and a speed item that gives you a speed burst while on your motorcycle. You'll need all the help you can get to take out your aggression on street punks, thugs, outlaw bikers, killer kung-fu females and an array of bosses standing in your way. Take the law into your own hands to defeat countless scumbags and take your city back like the renegade you are.
Pokemon Puzzle League (Nintendo 64®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points):Get ready for a new kind of Pokémon battle where the power and speed of your brain are just as important as the strength of your Pokémon. Join Ash, Brock, Misty and many more characters from the Pokémon animated series as they gather in Puzzle Village to compete for the title of Pokémon Puzzle Master. Just match three or more blocks of the same color in any direction. Sounds simple, right? But the actual game play is surprisingly addictive and deep (chains and combos anyone?), especially when you're facing off against a human opponent. Choose from six different modes offering a wide range of action, from story or puzzle modes to continuous play or timed play. If that's not enough, take on the challenge in 3-D and get ready for more blocks than ever before. Featuring animated cut scenes combined with bright, fun graphics, there's enough to satisfy any fan of Pokémon or puzzle games.

Many people complain about the tiny bit of internal memory the Wii has. Many people haven't run into any problems, I myself still feeling that the built in memory is decent, still feel really good with the 2 gig SD card. The problems arise for everyone though, that "one day" we are going to have to move things between the SD card and Wii, deleting and re-downloading VC games, and backing up our gamesaves on the SD card and deleting them off the Wii temporarily.
I think all games should allow direct reading and writing to SD cards, this would greatly improve things for a while. Especially if a simple downloadable update gave us the option to use higher capacity SD cards then 2G. I hear some of these things are getting near 8G! Another simple downloadable update could allow us to use one of the USB ports on the back of the Wii for Jump Drives, or better yet - External Hard Drives. Well Nintendo is beginning to look at options like this, as they do hear what their fans are asking for, and while i think they downlplay the amount of fans asking for it a little bit, it still isn't a huge issue - just yet.
Statistically speaking, it is true that there are a small number of customers who feel that the flash memory is too small, while many others find that they have plenty of memory. However, because this small number of people are none other than the most avid players, we know we have to review the best possible solution to eliminate their inconvenience.
- Satoru Iwata (President of Nintendo)What are your thoughts? I think that if they let direct reading and writing to an external hard drive happen this would solve all problems. Hacking would become easier I am sure, but all Ninty needs to do is every once in a while release a software update that disables "popular mods" from working, thus rendering hackers time and money investments null.

I have been getting pretty pumped about
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed since I saw the first trailer a long time ago in a friends apartment far far away, even while it was still unkown to what droid the force would come to. And since it has been confirmed to be coming to our little white R2-Wii2 I have been going crazy with all the control set-up news and geeky brain visions of nun-chuck force pushes, and Wii-Remote saber stabbing!
We got a video from G4tv showing off some of the 2-player dual mode. I actually enjoy the first section of the video more where it shows the on-screen cues and the corrisponding actions played out live. Exscuse me while I push my thick black-framed square nerd glasses with white tape around the nose piece back to my eyes, this is just geek-tastic!
"Force Read More" for the sweet video!

We love the new Mario Kart here at N+. It seems we're not the only ones. There are a couple of threads in our forum that may interest those who are as addicted to the game as we are!
First up in the Friend Code thread, where a few of us have already posted our codes. We plan to have a weekly N+ Grand Prix which will take place on Sunday nights at 8pm GMT (20:00). If you fancy pitting yourself against other N+ members, post your code in the thread and log on at that time to join in with the fun! One of the mods should have opened a room for you to join. We'll also be using the N+ Chat Room to help communicate.
Next is a challenge laid down by sm197. He is a bit of a speed demon (and that's an understatement), and has started a Time Trial thread. Each week a new course will be chosen, and everyone can post their lap times.
In the future N+ will hopefully be running a special tournament, but more of this later...

Woo! Another 3 games! NAVC in yo faces! Anyhoo... it's the return of the Hanabi Festival! \o/ That means we'll be getting some juicy Japanese and American exclusive games for the next few weeks.
NEW+ Columns III: Revenge of the Nerds Columns (SEGA MegaDrive - 900 Points)
Released in the U.S. in 1994 for the SEGA MEGA DRIVE, Columns III offers a single-player or multi-player experience that expands upon the gameplay of the first two Columns titles by giving players extra attacks to spring on their opponents. As in the original Columns, jewels fall into a column bin where gamers have to twist and manipulate them to match three or more jewels in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line to prevent them from stacking up and reaching the top. In Columns III, special magical jewels are available that influence the game in numerous ways such as raising your opponent’s crush bar or lowering yours, adding an extra element of strategy to the game.
NEW+ Final Destination Soldier (TurboGraFX - 700 Points)
Final Soldier, propels you to the 23rd century where you are Earth’s last line of defence against an unknown horde of alien invaders. Part of the celebrated ‘Star Soldier’ series, this action-packed vertical scrolling shooter puts you at the helm of a space fighter created by the finest scientists from across the globe. Armed to the teeth with an arsenal of weaponry you rise up against the enemy overwhelming them with lasers, flamethrowers and missiles, many of which can be upgraded to cause further devastation. Originally released for PC Engine (Turbografx) only in Japan.
NEW+ Gradius III (TurboGraFX - 900 Points)
GRADIUS II GOFER NO YABOU returns you to the helm of the legendary Vic Viper to overcome a new offensive from the Bacterion Empire. Originally only available on the PC Engine (Turbografx) console in Japan, this horizontally scrolling shooter challenges players to conquer the Bacterion’s fleet and its new leader, Gofer. With a total of nine stages, this perfect port of the original boasts one of the longest adventures in the series and also features more trademark fast-paced music to accompany the intense action!

As you can see N+ has undergone another visual transformation! I bring to you the classic Duck Hunt game in a more realistic styling! This isn't to celebrate the launch of anything besides the month of May (which by the way half the world is celebrating already, so NO when I posted this it was NOT too early).
Allergies are here and so are the ducks that swim in the parks and mountains we are allergic to! huzzah! if shooting the lake doesn't solve your allergy problems, try shooting the ducks?
If you like this header check out the
N+ Design Gallery for a full wallpaper sized image!
N+ does not endorse shooting any ducks besides tin ones at carnivals
