That's the problem right there. Once you have more than one ... say two or three, you'll see a DRASTIC drop in space available.

Today's releases are the following:
Dig Dug- Nes 600 Wii points
Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa - Nes 600 Wii points

North America only got Dig Dug 2 back in the day. Dig Dug was a Japan only game.
Both games are imports.
I don't know how good this version Dig Dug is as a result.

Is this Japanese for Bio Force Ape?
Finally a Wii alternative to Pokemon Box. I think I'll be picking this one up.

No, it is not.
I remember when the internets got all crazy over a game called Baby Mario that was actually Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa that was misnamed.
I do have a good number of VC games, but it really doesn't take all that many to fill up the Wii's HD.
IIRC, the HD has 2500 blocks, and if you have a few Turbo CD, Neo Geo, or N64 games which run 150-300 blocks each, you could easily fill it up with 10 games or less.
Wii-World.com did an interview with the game Developer Big Blue Bubble.
The CEO of Big Blue Bubble stated stated Home Sweet Home will not have any online features.

Mondays vc release is the following:
Samuari Shodown- Neo Geo 900 Wii points
The source is http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=15425 .
I played the game at arcades and on my Sega Genesis back in the 1990's. It was a fun arcade game back in the day and I have great memories of it. It was better than Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury imo.

Today's wiiware releases are the following:
Block Breaker Deluxe -800 Wii points
Cocoto Fishing Master - 700 Wii points
The source is http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=15425 .
I watched a trailer of Block Breaker Deluxe. It reminds me of Break out or Arkanoid. Here is the trailer or video to the game: http://www.wiiware-world.com/games/w..._buster_deluxe .
Sam Sho is my favorite SNK fighter, though I prefer 2 for no other reason than that's the one I have most time with.
I'm hoping they release Shining Force 2 sometime this year, along with other games that have been listed.
Taito is making Space Invaders into a wiiware game. The source is http://www.wiiware-world.com/news/20...ers_on_wiiware .
Wow, I was stoked about Block Breaker until I found out that you have to keep the Wiimote pointed at the screen to use the D-pad
The video of Block Breaker didn't look very good to me. Fishing Master, however, looked pretty fun so I gave it a shot. It has one problem, and that's that they just drop you in without any real help with the controls. You need to do a bit of trial and error, and overcome some frustration figuring out what you're supposed to do. The key to hooking fish is to not jerk up the wiimote too quickly (which isn't intuitive thinking about hooking a biting fish). You need to slowly tilt it up (and then keep it up during the 'hooking' sequence). Once I figured that out my catch % went from 1% to 80%, and now I think the controls are pretty good. Now that I know what I'm doing I'm finding it to be a lot of fun, and worth the $7 if you're in the mood for a low-key fishing game. It's not deep or complex,but it has an addictive "one more fish" quality.
If you can't do it with 8 bits, you don't need to do it!
Today's wiiware game release isthe following:
Gyrostarr -700 Wii points
The source is http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=15469 .
Information about the game is found at http://www.wiiware-world.com/games/wiiware/gyrostarr .
Today's vc release games are the following:
Alex Kidd in Miracle World- Sms 500 Wii point
Burning Fight- Neo Geo -900
Alex Kidd in Miracle World was the Alex Kidd game ever imo. I own this game. This one of the best platformers on the Sms.
I never played Burning Fight, I don't know how the game is as a result.
I saw a youtube video on it and it reminds of the Streets of Rage and Final Fight series.
I know that Burning Fight will be on SNK Arcade Classic Volume 1. It will be released later on this year on the wii, PS 2 and the Psp. I recommend not to download this game as a result.

Burning Fight is a decent Final Fight clone (one of the characters is a pretty blatant ripoff of Cody from Final Fight) but I don't think it's worth 900 points.
Miracle World is a solid game, really the only good Alex Kidd game IMO. I'll probably end up getting it.
