- Shining Force (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): As soon as we put this post up, the comments will fill with people sharing their love for this tactical RPG, so there’s really no need for us to say that Shining Force is totally awesome. That being said, it’s totally awesome.
- Kirby’s Dream Course (Super NES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Here’s a note for all you budding psych majors. If your patient’s dream consists of being in some nightmarish form of golf where all the holes are monsters and they’re the ball, they have serious problems.
- Devil’s Crush (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points): Statistically speaking though, the patient dreaming of being a golf ball is probably better off than the one who thinks that he’s forced to play a pinball game that’s controlled by Satan.

Wiiâ„¢ owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Pointsâ„¢ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games are:
Paper Mario® (Nintendo® 64, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone—Comic Mischief, 1,000 Wii Points): Paper Mario is a graphically innovative game that breaks from the confines of the RPG genre.

Players control numerous old and new characters in a complex, nonlinear story that follows different scenarios depending on player choices.

Balloon Fight® (NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Control a character to pop your opponents’ balloons before they pop yours. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

And if that’s not enough, there are the ever-increasing enemies and environmental hazards like lightning and water. Try the game’s second mode, Balloon Trip, if you feel like taking a break from the action and just want to see how long you can stay aloft. And hey, who doesn’t like popping balloons sometimes?

Experience the thrill of survival as the timer ticks away and you uncover the truth of the events that occurred.
