It's the holiday season, which means that there are going to be a lot of kids opening up presents. Will there be Wiis and DSes inside, or will their parents be holding onto those consoles for themselves this year? Who knows. But one thing is for certain: the Wii is still a hot item for holiday shoppers this year ... for the third year in a row. Good luck finding one if you haven't picked it up already.
However, with all those new Wiis comes the need for more downloadable games. Thankfully, Nintendo has been gracious enough to not stop for the holidays, giving us three more games on the Wii Shop Channel this week. Two new WiiWare titles join an RPG from a legendary series on the Virtual Console. The WiiWare titles are a mixed bag, as they could both potentially be good or could both be let-downs, but this week's lone Virtual Console release is definitely a winner.
This week's games are:
WiiWare
