New games on WiiWare, DSiWare and VC

By Robert Purchese Published 8 January, 2010

Shinobi! Stunt Cars! Art Academy 2.

Nintendo's Friday WiiWare, Virtual Console and DSiWare update brings six new games to the table.

On WiiWare you can tear around hair-raising courses in Stunt Cars and relax with a baseball bat in Stop Stress: A Day of Fury.

Each of those costs 800 Wii Points (£5.60/€8).

On DSiWare you can learn how to paint with Art Academy: Second Semester, roll a ball around in Move your Brain - Rollaway Puzzle or push crates around in Sokomania.

In order, those cost 800 DSi Points (£7.20/€7), 500 DSi Points (£4.50/€5) and 200 DSi Points (£1.80/€2).

On Virtual Console you'll find Shadow Dance: The Secret of Shinobi. This is a pricey glimpse at yesteryear at 800 Wii Points (£5.60/€8), but cheap considering this was the first Shinobi game with an attack dog! Get real! That would kill your face!

    Germany is missing Stop Stress and Shadow Dancer. SD is supposedly indexed (probably a holdover from the 16 bit days when the censors were more strict). I heard Stop Stress got an 18 rating from the USK and I have to wonder what that game did to get that, Dawn of War 2 with its sync kills and everything is rated 16.

    Stunt Cars is just one malapropism away from a barrage of Daily Mail headlines.

    @Leewom - Just look back at the other huge SNES titles we've had to wait 2 -3 months for. Zelda: ALTTP and Super Metroid are two of them. If we ever get a game before Japan and the USA it's by three days or one we ain't interested in!!
    I said if we didn't have the game by Christmas day it'll be a long wait which has turned out to be the case.
