More Hanabi imports for Virtual Console

By Tom Bramwell Published 16 July, 2009

Plus Puzzle League DSi, WiiWare Darklord.

As reported yesterday, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord is the headline game on Nintendo's online shops this week, and the platform holder today said it would cost 1000 Wii Points (GBP 7 / EUR 10 approx).

Joining the Darklord on the Wii Shop are two additions to Virtual Console. First there's Musha, another vertical shoot-'em-up for the Megadrive, at an inflated 900 Wii Points (GBP 6.30 / EUR 9) thanks to the ongoing Hanabi Festival, which brings previously Japanese-only games to the West.

Smash Table Tennis for NES (600 Wii Points, or approximately GBP 4.20 / EUR 6) is another Hanabi import, rescued from the 20-year-old remains of the Famicom Disk System, apparently. Not one we've been crying out for but it takes all sorts.

Finally, DSi owners can grab onto A Little Bit of... Puzzle League for 500 DSi Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5 approx) if they're so inclined - a cutting of the DS original, which you may remember was based on popular block puzzle Panel de Pon.

    Musha (or M.U.S.H.A) was also released in the US btw, not just Japan. Excellent shooter! One of the titles I really miss from my MegaDrive days
    /ponders why I sold it... :-(

    edit: oh, and if you want inflated prices, check ebay for what the orignal cart is going for these days!

    There's one Hanabi Festival game I really want that's coming soon. More Kirby! I love Kirby, the little round ball of awesome that he is.

    I might have a look at that DSi game too, Panel de Pon is addictive stuff so it should be fun stuff :)

    Nintendo pull the finger out and give us Earthbound, not this crap.

    I would happily pay money to play it but being unavailable I've downloaded the ROM.
