Special mention also goes to HudsonвЂ™s Alien Crush Returns, a gross Giger-esque 3D sequel to the TurboGrafx-16 pinball game.

But theyвЂ™re all decent-to-intriguing entries in their respective series.

ThereвЂ™s TaitoвЂ™s Bust-A-Move Plus and Arkanoid Plus NamcoвЂ™s Mr Driller W HudsonвЂ™s Bomberman Blast, Adventure Island: The Beginning, and Star Soldier R, Sunsoft's Blaster Master: OverdriveвЂ¦ the list goes on. Mega Man and Konami aside, if youвЂ™re into modern revivals of old Japanese games, WiiWare was your platform. TheyвЂ™re similar in spirit and quality to CapcomвЂ™s Mega Man 9, which also came out on WiiWare but isnвЂ™t included here because itвЂ™s easily available on other platforms. All three are similar in concept: theyвЂ™re short, fun resurrections of their respective franchises, with solid pixel art that makes them feel like lost entries. Konami launched a mini-series of its own on WiiWare with a trio of вЂњRebirthвЂќ titles: Castlevania Rebirth, Gradius Rebirth, and Contra Rebirth. Orbient, Light Trax, and Rotohex expand on the GBA releases, while Cubello and Rotozoa are all-new creations for the Wii.

The entire Art Style series is also essential building on SkipвЂ™s Japan-only Bit Generations line for the Game Boy Advance, each title is a minimalist, arcadey delight. My personal favorite WiiWare release from Nintendo is MaboshiвЂ™s Arcade, a brilliantly cerebral puzzler that divides the screen up so youвЂ™re playing three games at once. Elsewhere, Fluidity is a wonderful physics-based puzzle game with music from Sega legend Richard Jacques Rock NвЂ™ Roll Climber is a bizarre climbing game that uses the Wii Fit Balance Board and Bonsai Barber is a surreal plant-trimming simulation by Martin Hollis, who led design on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark while at Rare.

The closest thing to a major franchise entry it ever released was Excitebike: World Rally, a neat 2.5D update of the NES semi-classic thatвЂ™s worth checking out. NintendoвЂ™s own published output on WiiWare was experimental and extremely mixed in quality. One neat quirk is that you can use the SNES controllers from the Super Nintendo Classic Edition if you managed to pick one up last year, thanks to the shared connector.ДЄnyway, hereвЂ™s what IвЂ™d recommend looking into. YouвЂ™ll also want a Classic Controller for many of them, or at least the nunchuk attachment. YouвЂ™ll need a Wii Remote to access the store on a Wii U, and to play basically all of the games.

You can access the Wii Shop Channel from an original Wii or a Wii U on the latter, it lives within the separate Wii mode, because Nintendo never uploaded Wii content to the Wii UвЂ™s eShop (which is a separate store (but one from which you can download full retail Wii games (which you canвЂ™t on the actual Wii Shop Channel (remember when I said Nintendo didnвЂ™t know how to run digital stores? Yeah)))). You can't buy Wii Points after March 26th
