This week brings us a gooey puzzle game for WiiWare along with a classic arcade-fighter.

    WiiWare
  • World of Goo (2D Boy, 1,500 Wii points): World of Goo is a physics-based puzzle game that allows you to construct your own goo-based buildings and bridges for the World of Goo Corporation.
  • Art Style: Cubello (Nintendo, 600 Wii points): Cubello has you matching like-colored cube shapes. Enjoy two game modes: endless play or stage-based action.
    Virtual Console
  • Secret of Mana (1993, Super Nitendo, 800 Wii points): Secret of Mana has you searching the land for Mana seeds, the only thing that can bring balance to the fight of good versus evil. But be warned: nothing is what it seems in this adventure title.
  • Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition (1993, Sega Gensis, 800 Wii points): Being the first Street Fighter game to be released on the Genesis, it brought with it two different game modes: Champion and Hyper. Also included in the game is Group Battle, where you select various different fighters. This arcade-to-console title is sure to satisfy the old-school fighter in everyone.
