WiiWare
New, original games offering something for everyone!

Fenimore Fillmore The Westerner
Welcome to the West! Visit the most typical far west town where you will meet the classic drunk doctor, the powerful “master of the land”, an industrious pioneer - men and women who, with their sweat and their tears, raised a great nation. But there are a lot of things that cannot be helped, and one of them is the continuous fights between farmers and cattle ranchers, who had more money and more men. Only a cowboy as peculiar as Fenimore Fillmore could fight with the farmers, when the rest of the cowboys were paid by the cattle rancher, the most merciless and sinister of the characters in the game.

Virtual Console
Enjoy classic games from yesteryear on your Wii console!

RIVAL TURF! – Super Nintendo
Take back the streets with RIVAL TURF!, the classic two-player Super NES action game! Clean up the streets in a fast and furious fight of incredible two-fisted, tag-team street-fighting action. Get your licks in with a range of attacks; from body slams and leg sweeps to jabs, hooks, uppercuts and more. Go it alone in single player mode, fight alongside another player, or go head-to-head and toe-to-toe in the special Versus Mode. This could be the toughest fight of your life. Better start swinging now!

Nintendo DSiWare
Access a world of new possibilities with Nintendo DSiWare.

Thorium Wars
In Thorium Wars, stop the Thorions, a super species of Thorium-powered machines, from destroying mankind. Blast through waves of Thorions by controlling an arsenal of tanks, skyfighters, hovercrafts, gunboats, and starfighters with either the standard or Touch Screen controls. In twelve exciting missions, navigate through a variety of combat environments viewing 360 degrees of the battlefield, fully rendered in 3D. Take control of the outcome in this man vs. machine extreme battle as Thorium Wars proves to be the ultimate test for the survival of the fittest.

Datamine
You are the safety inspector at the largest data centre facility in the world. Unfortunately your laziness at work has created the biggest cataclysm of the wireless age: the loss of all mankind's data. Now, you have been chosen to retrieve the lost data and must go on a dangerous journey to try to recover them all. Datamine is a great arcade action game where you control a robot and beam at data bubbles to split and catch them. Test your skills in 100 challenging levels. Grab equipment upgrades like speed boost, sticky shots and shields, break encrypted data and fusion bubbles which multiply when they touch others.

Match Up!
Flip, match and…kaboom! - How fast can you find the right set in Match Up?! Whether you’re 4 or 40, Match Up! will have you captive for hours. Reveal shapes, colours and even hidden bonuses with a new take on a childhood favourite. Quick hands and a sharp mind are the only way to beat the clock and disarm the explosive cards riddled throughout. Not quite ready for the explosive action? Then start with the absolutely addictive classic concentration play, and see if you can level up. So come on – get matching!
