This week's games all originate from Japan and are now playable on your Nintendo Wii console.

Virtual Console

  • Dig Dug (1985, NES, 600 Wii points): Dig Dug is the classic digging game where you must destroy underground monsters all while making sure not to get caught by them. Originally released in 1982 as an arcade game, the NES version of Dig Dug can now be enjoyed on your Nintendo Wii.

  • Bio-Miracle Bokutte Upa (1993, NES, 600 Wii points): Bio-Miracle Bokutte Upa is a Japanese import that was originally made to run on the Famicon Disk System. In the game, you'll play as baby Upa and use your rattle to defeat enemies in seven different worlds.

WiiWare

  • My Pokemon Ranch (Nintendo, 1,000 Wii points): Allowing for your Miis to interact for the first time ever with Pokemon characters, My Pokemon Ranch can also sync up with Nintendo DS Pokemon games. Take pictures of Pokemon and share them on the Nintendo Wii message board.
