Rather poor Christmas(ish) update, but I do want to try out Max and the Magic Marker, especially since its $10 cheaper on Wiiware than it is on Steam(or at least at one time when I saw it, perhaps there was a price drop)

Another Magical Drop already? Oh well, more VC games is good, even if I don't have interest.

Grab a cup of coffee, sit back in your favorite plush chair and enjoy soothing, relaxed game play featuring fantastic graphics and sweet melodies.

Play through 45 relaxing levels of Sneezies in the Classic Mode or unleash your skills in 15 Challenge Mode levels.

Ghost Mania Publisher: Legendo Entertainment Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Wii Points Description: Ghost Mania is an original puzzle game for players of all ages, offering a new twist on the falling-block genre. Build and expand colored stacks of ghosts and blocks in any direction and any number. The game features multiple single- and two-player modes, including a relaxed and thoughtful puzzle mode, an arcade mode and a variety of two-player modes such as Battle and Enduro. The game centers on the misadventures of Becky and Tim, a pair of ghost guardians who've just lost their jobs. Having fallen asleep on active duty, they accidentally let all the ghosts escape from the Spirit World. Help Becky and Tim get their jobs back so they can return to the Spirit World. Catch the runaway ghosts before it's too late.
Robox® (demo version) Publisher: DreamBox Games Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Fantasy Violence Price: 0 Wii Points; full version available for 1,000 Wii Points Description: Jump, explore and shoot as you discover a planet filled with strange and menacing creatures. Go through a beautiful and lethal forest, find your way out of a labyrinth cave, jump into jelly bubbles and go for a ride on a giant slug. Fight epic battles against giant final bosses. Regain the abilities you've lost with the help of tiny creatures. Move through walls, break the floor or get new gadgets such as drills and gigantic cannons. Discover one of the most beautiful, exciting and challenging games of the last few years.
Note: Some demo versions do not support all game features, and players cannot save their in-game progress in demo versions.
Nintendo DSiWare
Alt-Play: Jason Rohrer Anthology Publisher: Sabarasa Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points™ Description: Alt-Play brings the best of independent gaming to the Nintendo DSiWare service, introducing players to some of the most unique experiences this medium has to offer. In this compilation, award-winning game auteur Jason Rohrer's work comes to the Nintendo DSi system, including three of his best games to date: Passage, Gravitation and Between. The deep themes and distinctive presentation in Rohrer's work help to blur the line between visual art and video games, evoking thoughts and emotions rarely associated with gaming.
Word Searcher 2 Publisher: Digital Leisure Inc. Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: You'll need a sharp eye and a quick mind to complete 100 themed word- search puzzles. Word Searcher 2 contains fun words from multiple categories including palindromes, pirates and painting. Packed with a huge assortment of subjects to choose from, there's sure to be a puzzle anyone can enjoy. Help improve your vocabulary, memory and problem-solving skills. Keep track of - and try to beat - your own play- through times again and again as words are scrambled each time you play. Put on your thinking cap and conquer all 100 puzzles today.
Music on: Drums Publisher: Abylight Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: It's a beatbox full of features for creating songs and rhythms. With a library of 160 sounds, use your creative skills to assign them to eight available tracks per pattern. Activate or deactivate each of the 16 steps that make up a track using the buttons or the stylus and combine the eight patterns to compose up to 64 songs. If you want to produce a more complex tune, you can customize each step and set the volume, change the frequency and assign a panning. Like a professional DJ, you can create and play in real time. Once you've laid down your patterns, you can use them to create much more complicated rhythms in Song mode, where you can add them to a sequence of up to 32 parts and change their length, activate or deactivate tracks, add repeats and so on. Music on: Drums also includes a pre-recorded song. We're starting off the new year big with NOTHING OF INTEREST! Maybe I'm being too harsh. We got a demo. No VC content though. Sure I never really cared for the latest VC releases, save for Mario Party 2, but at least they were releasing something. Well, I still have Fluidity to beat, which is a very good game by the way. This week just doesn't interest me, and I was kind of hoping they'd start the year off right.

Virtual Console
GHOSTS'N GOBLINS Publisher: Capcom Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Fantasy Violence Price: 800 Wii Points Description: GHOSTS'N GOBLINS is a classic game that packs a heavy punch (and lance). Experience the smash arcade hit from 1985 as you help Arthur defeat hordes of monsters in his attempt to rescue the princess. This is the first (and possibly only) game in which taking a hit can reduce you to your underwear.
EXED EXES™ Publisher: Capcom Players: 1-2 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Fantasy Violence Price: 800 Wii Points Description: A retro classic from Capcom's arcade lineup from 1985, EXED EXES is a vertically scrolling shooter that's sure to bring back fond memories.

Nintendo DSiWare
Petz Catz Family Publisher: Ubisoft Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Comic Mischief Price: 800 Nintendo DSi Points™ Description: Care for and bond with a whole family of adorable cats. Play fun games with them, give them lots of love and watch them grow. Discover their unique talents and personalities and teach them fun tricks like running through obstacle courses and walking down the runway.
Surfacer+ Publisher: Lexis Numerique Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Surfacer+ is easy to pick up and has totally innovative game play that's suitable for all gamers – casual and hard-core alike. Fill the screen by producing white flowers with your stylus. Control the size of your flowers and use the bonuses at the right moment. Watch out for enemies who pounce from either side of the screen. Surfacer+ will test your skill, strategy and insight. How far will you go to cover the screen?
EJ Puzzles: Hooked Publisher: Electron Jump Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: Can you catch all the fish? Take control of your fishing boat and search the waters for the freshest fish. Be careful to catch them in the right order. If you land a fish that's too big too soon, you'll break your line. The chef is waiting for your delivery, so get out there and catch all the fish you can. EJ Puzzles: Hooked is a brain teaser with a fishing theme. Search the waters with your fish scanner. If you find a fish you can't handle yet, mark its location with a marker buoy and come back later. Your goal is to catch all the fish on the map. There are many maps to play, and each map changes every time. Can you beat them all? And here we have this week's update. Capcom's delivering the goods for VC this time around. And another demo for those who are interested. I should probably be trying out more of those. I got so many other games on my plate like Kingdom Hearts this week.

Apparently the NES version of GnG was removed! That's a first...
Oh well, I guess I'll play it on the NES emulator for Homebrew now that it's not on the Shop Channel anymore. :eggman:

I think I bought that game before. So I can't download it again anymore? That sucks. I'd like my $5 back.

It seems you can contact NOA for a refund. I wonder if they'll give out one to everyone who bought it like with the Internet Channel?

Guess I won't be needing that refund. Oh well, I had completely forgotten about the whole fiasco anyway.
