Wii News | ActRaiser - Virtual Console
Square Enix's awesome ActRaiser has arrived on the Virtual Console as part of the latest three-game update. For those who never played it, ActRaiser is a unique quest that blends action and platforming with a simulation, god game mechanic. You take control of the Master who has to rebuild his fallen Kingdom that's been conquered by The Evil One.

Wii News from N4G | Alien Crush - Virtual Console
Wii - Alien Crush - Virtual Console - Alien Crush Returns is going international and so is Pit Crew Panic Siliconera writes: "Hudson only announced Alien Crush Returns for Japan, but it's a shoe in for an international release.

Hudson wouldn't invest resources to localize the WiiWare pinball game into English if they didn't have plans to release it everywhere. I think it's safe to say we're getting it, probably soon."

Wii News | Alien Crush - Virtual Console
Dec 21, 2007 December is the month of giving and, better yet, receiving. December is the month when sugarplum visions of $400 consoles and $60 games dance through your head. And, of course, December is the month when your loved ones usually just cheap out and buy you a gift card instead. So long as that gift card is an online points card from Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo, however, you'll be alright. With so much downloadable content available for so little money, you could stretch a few ...
