Wii-kly Virtual Console Update: 03/10/08
DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure (SNES, 900 Wii Points) and Puyo Puyo 2: Tsuu (Sega Genesis, 900 Wii Points) start off your Wiik with imported games from Japan. I am so happy that hte Virtual Console continues to bring over little known Japanese games to the Virtual Console. I have never played either of these games, but DoReMi Fantasy has my attention, for sure. Puyo Puyo 2 should get you puzzle-fiends excited. Full descriptions of the games for the week await thee after the jump. Are you going to jump on either one of these?

Wii-kly Update: Two New Classic Games Added to Wii Shop Channel
Got enough challenge in your daily routine? Chances are that basic
everyday tasks - getting to work or school on time, walking the dog, taking
out the trash - aren't enough to keep you firing on all cylinders. Luckily,
Virtual Console(TM) is close at hand to help you test your mettle in fresh and
unusual ways. Whether you're rescuing a kidnapped pal or mastering a set of
mind-bending grid puzzles, this week's new arrivals, imported from Japan,
offer a refreshing break from the late-winter blahs.
Nintendo adds new games to the Wii(TM) Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time
every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii
Points(TM) to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop
Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure (Super NES(R), 1 player, Rated
E for Everyone - Alcohol Reference and Comic Mischief, 900 Wii Points): This
is an action game where an energetic boy named Milon sets off on a great
adventure in a cute fairy-tale world. Piccolo is a village in the country of
Fantasia. One day, they hear from the fairy Alis that songs and music have
disappeared from the forest. Suddenly, the wizard Amon appears, grabs Alis and
vanishes with her. The brave Milon must now go on a journey to rescue his
kidnapped friend, with his bubble shooter as his only weapon. Along the way,
he'll need to retrieve five legendary instruments and stars by defeating
Amon's minions. Get ready to enjoy the fun and comical action of this charming
game.
Puyo Puyo 2: Tsuu (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 900
Wii Points): The object of this head-to-head puzzle game is to clear your grid
of falling patterns called puyos by forming chains of four or more same-
colored puyos in a straight line or one of several geometric patterns. What
makes this a challenging two-player contest is the fact that when you clear a
chain of puyos from your grid, it drops a random piece of filler onto your
opponent's grid. The more puyos you clear, the more you fill your opponent's
grid, and if you can clutter up his grid enough to fill it to the top, you've
won the game. An intriguing backstory makes this an amusing experience for one
or two players.

Puyo Puyo is one of the best puzzle fighter series out there. I wish they'd have translated it though for the story mode.
I downloaded DoReMi Fantasy yesterday because it looked so cute. Also, I read some information and reviews before I made the decision. It's a sequel to Milon's Secret Castle for NES, and, in my opinion, much better. It's not as frustratingly hard, and it's more of a traditional platformer. Plus, the graphics and music are great.
I do wish they had localized it though, because you lose a lot in the story cutscenes. It's still fun to play though, and very gay...in that everything is cute, pastel, and happy. It's right up my alley! It's kind of like a Kirby game in atmosphere.
