Despite their ubiquity, the majority of Pokémon games manage to maintain a high standard, even when they abandon the more traditional Pokémans formula. Pokémon Puzzle League, for example, is one of the best examples of a Pokémon game that isn't a Pokémon game, and is comfortably worth its 1000 Wii Point price tag.
A pair of Eikichi Kawasaki-designed Neo Geo titles round off the week in Europe and Australia -- Samurai Shodown is one of the Neo Geo's best fighting games, while Burning Fight is another addition to the already oversubscribed (on the VC, at least) dude-smashing genre.
- Pokémon Puzzle League -- Nintendo 64 -- 1000 Wii Points
- Samurai Shodown -- Neo Geo -- 900 Wii Points
- Burning Fight -- Neo Geo -- 900 Wii Points

Samurai Showdown!
The best Neo Geo fighter and the best example of Engrish since Zero Wing!

Oh yeah, Puzzle Master right here. After fighting that game on S. Hard for 3 bloody years (and after destroying the joystick on a controller), I finally beat Mewtwo.
That game's SO much fun even if it induces fits of rage. Completely worth 1000 points.
