Looks like Natsumo Championship Wrestling is the next US VC game.

Below is a PR email sent out by Natsumi...

Burlingame, CA., February 22, 2011 - Natsumi Inc., a worldwide developer and publisher of family-oriented video games, announced today that Natsume Championship Wrestling is now available for download on the Wii Virtual Console in both North America and Europe. The game is rated E+10 by the ESRB.


"Natsume Championship Wrestling is one of the all-time classic wrestling games," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO at Natsume. "Loaded with depth and technique, this game delivers an unmatched wrestling experience!"


Step into the ring with one of 12 outrageous wrestlers and bring the pain! Wield the massive power of Asteroid, the lightning-fast strikes of Viper, the underhanded attacks of Phantom, and many more madmen of the ring! With its robust grappling system and over 50 moves to master, Natsume Championship Wrestling delivers the deepest and most realistic wrestling action of the 16-bit era! Players can test their might against the crafty AI, or up to 4 players can compete in exhibition, tag team, and round robin matches!

OP updated, and I'll be checking the Euro DS and WiiWare demos tomorrow. Can I ask if someone can see what DS/WiiWare demos are still up in the US? (apart from Okamiden, of course!)

Oh man..
Seriously, I wish we had such software around growing up like the Famicom BASIC.
That could've inspired me to become a programmer earlier in life!

Yeah. My family had a Mac and Windows PC but they were too intimidating for me when I was younger. Programming in BASIC on my TI calculator got me hooked since it was really accessible and simple. This and WarioWare DYI are really awesome ideas for getting people interested in programming and game design!

First off, awesome DSiWare game there. Smile Boom's done some pretty neat games for XBLIG, but those didn't need translations that much. This one...XSEED PLS!

User33 said:
I was going to post in this topic asking why we haven't got any N64 games lately until I realized that they've already released pretty much every non-third party game for it. I never realized before how much the N64 relied on Rare for its [moderate] success and its too bad we'll never get any games by them released for it.

Still, it'd be nice if some other third party games like Beetle Adventure Racing, Rouge Squadron or Rocket: Robot on Wheels were released for it someday...

Bomberman Hero has been rated apparently, but I have my doubts of its release.

I'd care if I was made aware of the release. Nintendo really need to let people know via a blog or summat.

By any chance does anyone know what happened to SunSoft's VC initiative? I'm still waiting on Gimmick, Journey to Silius and Waku Waku 7. And I seem to remember Vic even teasing Batman as a possibility.... what happened?

Final Fantasy VI? Awesome. If III comes to the US I'd be a very happy camper.

I'd like to know the same thing. I'm playing through Ufouria now and enjoying every second of it. I'd like to see Journey to Silius and especially Gimmick! Those and some Telenet games. Where's Vic at!?

NINTENDO DOWNLOAD: THE BIT.TRIP EPIC REACHES ITS GRAND FINALE

Feb. 28, 2011

The acclaimed BIT.TRIP game series for the WiiWare™ service has thrilled audiences with its mix of retro style and inventive game play. This week, new and longtime fans are invited to experience the series' final installment, BIT.TRIP FLUX, and join CommanderVideo for one more unforgettable ride. Also this week, the Nintendo DSiWare™ service offers a variety of new hand-held games to satisfy a multitude of tastes. Rise to the challenge of running your own eatery in My Little Restaurant, enjoy physics-based arcade action in Magnetic Joe or fend off an alien invasion in Monster Buster Club.

WiiWare

Grab your Wii Remote™ controller and get ready for classic paddle-based game play as CommanderVideo returns to the source. Whether playing in single-player or in cooperative two-player mode, you'll be faced with new challenges that will make even the most experienced BIT.TRIPPERS weep. Enjoy new power-ups (including the Fullscreen Paddle), new beat types (including Avoid Beats) and the new Meta Mode. Ride along with CommanderVideo as he completes his mission and returns home.

Price: 0 Wii Points; full version available for 1,200 Wii Points
Description: Embody major gods from Scandinavian, Egyptian, Roman and Japanese mythologies. As a god, you have enough power to rule the humans – all but the cheeky ones. Some of them want to enter your domain and have decided to build a tower to confront you. Use your divine powers to bring them down and show them who's boss. Be careful not to hurt them though – you need people to believe in you. The game includes 60 levels for the solo campaign, 16 playable gods with specific powers, four hysterical bosses to defeat and 16 additional challenges for experienced players.

Also new to Pong Toss Pro is a Tournament Mode that supports four-, eight- or 16-team bracket play. Pong Toss Pro features six regulation tables and the ability to modify simple house rules. Rock it with a high-energy soundtrack and listen to the announcer commenting on your play. Rule the table with Fireball bonuses for consecutive shots. In Speed Pong, up to three challengers can compete at the same time. Speed and strategy are key in this fast-paced game. Jack up your opponents by using a slew of power-ups that will slow them down. The first player to sink the last cup wins it all.

Fluidity was the best out of these, though Zombie Panic wasn't terrible if you like shooting range-type games. They should just keep the best games' demos up longer.

Crazy Racers is pretty terrible, though. Not a game suited to WiiWare, I'd say. Should've been a budget retail game.
