In the last update for August, and as part of the ongoing Hanabi Festival, Nintendo are gracing the Wii Shopping Channel with a selection of WiiWare and Virtual Console releases, some of which haven’t been released in PAL regions before!

MaBoShi: The Three Shape Arcade – WiiWare

Featuring three games in one, each having an effect on the other, MaBoShi: The Three Shape Arcade is a unique action game with the ultimate goal of scoring a million points! It even includes a downloadable Nintendo DS version!

Critter Round-Up – WiiWare

The animals have escaped! Hurry, you must round them up by fixing the fences as fast as you can! In this frantic action-puzzle game, catch the critters across a variety of locations, or try your hand at exciting minigames for one to four players.

BIO MIRACLE BOKUTTE UPA – NES (Hanabi Festival)

This cute and quirky Japanese platform game stars an unlikely hero: a baby named Upa who can defeat enemies by inflating them with his magic rattle, and can bounce or ride on their balloon-like bodies!

DIG DUG – NES (Hanabi Festival)

Now you can discover the NES version of this arcade classic, previously unreleased outside of Japan. Launch your pump hose at an enemy and pump them up to pop them, or dig tunnels to drop rocks on your foes. Grab the bonuses that appear and see how long you can survive!

Another great week of gaming! Why not let us know what you think of these games in comments, or if you fancy writing some reviews for these and many more games for us, apply to write for us!
