FFIV: The After Years on WiiWare

Animal Crossing, Art Style for DSiWare.

Nintendo has updated the WiiWare store with Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, which costs 800 Nintendo Points (GBP 6 / EUR 8 approx) to download.

This, a spin-off of the episodic series for mobile phones, follows the adventures of Ceodore - son of FFIV heroes Cecil and Rosa. There are further episodes to download for 300 NP (GBP 2.25 / EUR 3 approx.) a pop.

Meanwhile, Art Style: Kudos and Animal Crossing applications bolster the DSiWare stock cupboards.

The Art Style series is worth nothing, and Kubos presents a tower-climbing game with 10 levels and high scores to chase. Art Style: Kubos costs 500 NP (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5 approx.)

Clock and Calculator are the Animal Crossing applications, and they've got features like Animal Crossing-themed alarms and animations to make checking the time or totting up sums more fun. These cost 200 NP (GBP 1.50 / EUR 2 approx.) each.
