This week there were 3 games released 1 WiiWare and 2 Virtual Console games.  This week was also a big disappointment because 3 Virtual Console game were announced and not released.  Those games were Mega Man, Samurai Shodown II and Ys: Book I & II.

WiiWare

Wild West Guns (Gameloft, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen—Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): Draw your revolver to see if you’re the fastest gun in the West. Adjust your speed and precision as targets or enemies appear in front of you. Point and shoot to earn more points. You can aim at anything, so be sure to explore the environment for elements that will earn you more shooting points. Identify your enemies among the characters you encounter, but don’t shoot at innocent citizens. Take part in an Old West-style train attack, or challenge your skills in a variety of increasingly difficult shooting challenges in other beautiful, classic and lively Western environments. As you progress through challenges, you’ll earn medals and rewards, making for nonstop, addictive action. Play in a two-player multiplayer mode where you and your partner can combine points, or play against each other to find out who’s the fastest gun in the West.

Wild West Guns looks to be a pretty standard Arcade style target Shooter,  Although with the Wii Sensor bar and Wii remote it’s not going to be the same.  If you like Target practice then this game is a totally great choice.  You can see some game play here.

Virtual Console

Sonic The Hedgehog™ (Sega Master System, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Based on the original Sega Genesis version, Sonic The Hedgehog was re-created as the first Sonic game for the Sega Master System. Not just a straight port, this version includes new stages, bosses, some different zones and a level map. The most noticeable difference, however, is that the Chaos Emeralds have to be found within certain stages other than the Special Stages. Dash through six Zones (including special zones that were only available for the Sega Master System version) and face Dr. Eggman (a.k.a. Dr. Robotnik) at the end of every Zone.

Ok this is just lame.  They didn’t want to release games that like Mega Man so they could release a game that’s just a remake of a game that is already on the Virtual Console? Although the Sonic games are good I wouldn’t want to buy this one for reasoning of I already have the Original version which is considered better anyway.  If you don’t remember what it looks like you can see the game here.

SPLATTERHOUSE™ 2 (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated M for Mature—Blood and Gore, Violence, 800 Wii Points): SPLATTERHOUSE 2 is the sequel to SPLATTERHOUSE, released only on the Sega Genesis. A few months after escaping from the first mansion in SPLATTERHOUSE, the main character, Rick, once again encounters the Terror Mask and must use its powers to rescue his beloved Jennifer. Rick will need to punch, slash, smash and even chainsaw his way through a haunted mansion against unspeakable horrors and terrifying bosses to make it out alive.

If you liked the first SplatterHouse you will probably like this one as well.  This game wasn’t too bad of a release but it’s still not as good of a choice as Samurai Shodown II.  Here is some game play of the game.  I’m sure this game is as fun as the first of the series.

This week Nintendo did some weird crap.  Which leaves me thinking that Nintendo didn’t know what they were doing today.  They told companies like Capcom that their game(s) were going to come out today but they released totally different games.  Although these games are fun, I’m sure, there are games that Nintendo had been planning on releasing I believe they would have had a better reception.
