It's a pretty big week for releases. On top of plenty of games available at retail, there's a couple of imports available on the Virtual Console, as well as one awaited WiiWare release (can you guess what it is?). Head past the break and start thinking about cracking open that piggy bank.

that's a lot of crap. i'm curious how those naruto games play, though, as i was a big fan of the first dragonball game on the wii (never did purchase it) and heard these were more fun.
wii music has to wait until thursday (payday) :(

Tetris Party immediately, maybe Gradius 2. I still have to buy Secret of Mana and Mega Man 2 and 9, so who knows?
In other news, I'm addicted to Cubello.

I've been waiting for to get Tetris Party for months. Unfortunately I only have 1000 Wii Points as I bought Dr. Mario Online Rx (which I am addicted to) last week.
Too many WiiWare games to get (MegaMan, World of Goo, Cubello, Orbital, Tetris Party...) and not enough Wii Points (1000 left).

Been waiting for Tetris for a while, I bought Dr. Mario a while back to hold me over. Anyone know if you can play pickup games on WFC or only with friends?

I tried to download Tetris party last night but i couldnt connect. I naturally thought it was the wii acting up (which it often does) but i changed the channel on the wireless and it still didnt work. Then i tried to go to support.nintendo.com and it was down. I find it hard to believe that Tetris overwhelmed Nintendo's servers....did anyone else have a problem?

I entered the Shop fine on Monday but then realized I didn't have enough free space to download World of Goo. I did some storage management and then couldn't get back into the Shop. I didn't record the error message I received, though.
