More Hanabi imports for Virtual Console

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.
