Updated OP with new releases and jesusraz' addition.
BTW - I thought there was a limit on one WiiWare release a month per publisher? Is SE exempt from that then?

Daft question, but does anywhere have reviews - impressions of this?
is it identical to the Xmas released game reviewed here?
Would have preferred a good football management sim personally!!
Great that we got updates in consecutive weeks though

I think it's the "Little Bit of Brain Training..." version of the game - a cut-down DSi version that is basically the same game but with fewer features or less content.

I suspect feature-wise that it'll be similar to the Iphone/Ipod Touch version, while being the same game-wise as the DS one (I'm not sure if differences are many or not..). I haven't downloaded it yet (I need to wait another day to redeem my points card from Nintendo's website to take me to 800pts..) but the pricing is similar, so....

Hopefully the North American store will get this soon. I've been saving my points for it.
Any impressions from you Eurolanders?
Acutally guys I looks like it is the same as the full DS version - There is exhibition, training, multiplayer (local) and I'm sure there was a "Career" mode or something.
It even has Photo abilities so you can take a photo and put the design on the ball, the crowds flags and even on your heads.

No worries, mate!
I'll definitely give it a shot when it hits the States. I need some portable soccer.
I've been looking at some video of the full DS title and it does seem a little different. The interface surely is and apparently it had fake names... but I swore when I chose the Aussies it had the real ones. (edit: Seems like it uses fake spelling but the same sounding).
The graphics do look at little different I think, but there is GOAAAAAAAL voice then you get goal but not on the real DS one. I'll have to plug in my cart tonight VS the DSi title and see whats up.

According to Hudson's site the only PCE (CD) game Japan gets in May is SimEarth. NCL hasn't updated yet so no word on other systems yet.
EDIT: USK update:
-Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure
-Puzzle Bobble Plus!
-Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye
EDIT EDIT: And according to BNGI next week's VCA game in Japan is Numan Athletics.

I have it and it is pretty nice (for 500pts :]). "Only" 64 Levels but they are pretty varied in speed, the marble you have to use and the degree you are allowed to rotate the stage. The menu is a bit wonky but Multiplayer is nice. Has Achievements. Pretty relaxing and fairly challenging game.cw_sasuke said:

SMS R-Type???????? why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why
I hold some of these SMS double dips in regards to nostalgia, but R-Type SMS was so vastly below the TG-16 version that it's retarded.
Only way I will even consider Crystal Defenders is after R2 and R3 are out and it all comes in at ~$10.

Crystal Defenders is "ok", with the reservation that if they release each pack at 800 that "ok" turns to "absolute shit". It is 1/3rd of the 360/iphone game for approximately the same price. If the packs come out as DLC for a couple bucks, then it will stay at "ok". If you have PSN IMHO they have 2 or 3 better tower defense games, and from previews the new FFCC WiiWare game looks like a significantly more interesting tower defense game (My Life as a Dark Lord)Jethro said:

I find it to be one of the better things about VC. Very few games have a "perfect" or "complete" version. Also for historical value it's extremely nice to see what would probably never be released ever again on any other service. From a consumer stand point like you point out the purchasers may not have owned the best system or arcade unit but that doesn't mean they may not have a special place for a different or familar version. From Nintendo's standpoint it's extra money. If you are whining about output it's not really related.
kind of my frustration as well. If noa would fucking knock off this one release per week, I wouldn't care if they gave us SMS R-Type plus another game. I agree and have even pointed this out for games on my own that I feel that same way about (SMS Space Harrier, GEN Ghouls & Ghosts, NES Double Dragon, etc). Games that I have a fond place in my heart for thanks to nostalgia... but these games shouldn't be presented as sole releases for the week, ESPECIALLY when we already have superior versions on the service.

I've read some impressions of Real Football (Soccer) 2009 and it seems to be a great game. That's the one game I've been reserving my free points for. The North American store updates on Monday's, correct?

I put up impressions, with videos, here:
Crystal Defenders:

The cursor controls made it unplayable for me.
Adventure Island:
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blogs/anoop/2009/04/13/new_adventure_island_playtest/
It's not a good game and has poor controls, but I found it strangely enjoyable.

Probably not as packed with "stuff" as FIFA but for an 800 point downloadable game, it holds its own. It's basically the retail version of Real Football/Soccer 2009; just in downloadable form. Here's the feature list:

Eh. What is 'bad' or 'good' is purely objective, really. I mean, if you enjoy the game, it pretty much does what it sets out to do, am I right?
Are the controls any worse than the original NES or SNES versions? Because I am a HUGE fan of those, basic old-school controls and all.

...Final Fantasy1 in Japan?
I remember the first time I played FF1, I had no clue what an RPG was...I started playing and at the time I thought it sucked...before long I wasn't able to stop, absorbed by the story, needing to level up, buying new stuff. I couldn't believe there was a little story tucked into this game, a really thin one, but it was there....
Oooooh, when it arrives here, I'll be sure to buy it again. I've owned all the other versions, but I just like the idea of having it on the VC, that and I can't help giving my monies away to SquareEnix as often as possible

Updated the OP:
-- Added next week's Japanese VC and WiiWare releases (the artstyle for Harvest Moon is godly!)
-- Added a link to NoE PR
-- Added the new ratings
-- Added the Wii no Ma Channel
-- A couple of other small tweaks
Can anyone translate the publisher details for the new WiiWare releases in Japan? I got Marvelous from the site pics, but I'm not sure of the others.

Really impressed with the graphics and framerate in TM. Very tight controls as well. Definitely the best racing experience after MK.Nuclear Muffin said:
