This Monday, Nintendo is mixing things up by releasing more Virtual Console games than WiiWare games. We get two NES games for 600 points apiece, one a classic that has been re-released and ported a handful of times, and the other an import never before seen in the U.S. Still no Mario RPG though! Also, why is Dig Dug 600 points? It's not an import, and it's not at all hard to find. That makes no sense at all. Weak.
Luckily, the WiiWare title seems more promising. Pokemon and Miis living together in harmony? Sounds nice. I'm guessing Coop will have taken over the Gamervision Wii and will be dancing and cuddling with some Pokemon before I'm done writing this article.
Dig Dug
NES
1 Player
600 Points
Become Dig Dug, the champion of love and justice, as you drill up, down, left and right, defeating any enemies in your path. Avoid the persistent Pooka and the deep-dwelling but whimsical Fygar as you defeat all the enemies in order to clear each stage. Defeat enemies by hitting them with the harpoon and pumping air into them, or by dropping rocks on them from above.
Receive bonus points by getting the vegetables that appear in the middle of the stage. Receive high points for defeating deep-dwelling enemies or by defeating Fygars from the side with the harpoon. Pass through inflated enemies or defeat enemies in an adjacent passage for an even higher score. Lure multiple enemies and defeat them with a single rock from above in this thrilling action game.
Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa
NES
1 Player
600 Points
Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa is an action game released in 1988, but it was never available outside of Japan. Players take on the role of baby Upa, a prince of the Akuyo kingdom. Prince Upa must take on an adventure spanning seven different worlds in order to rescue the kingdom from the dangerous demon Zai. Upa must defeat the enemies he meets along the way by inflating them.
Upa can then use these floating enemies to his advantage by bouncing off of or riding on top of them. The prince must also avoid deadly thorns and pits while keeping an eye out for helpful items such as milk (to restore health) and bells (for temporary invincibility) if he hopes to succeed. If you’re looking for a cute and solid platformer with a hero unlike those in most other games, then look no further than Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa.
My Pokemon Ranch
1 Player
1000 Points
The Pokémon phenomenon debuts on WiiWare with My Pokémon Ranch, a game that lets you watch as Pokémon and Miis interact with each other for the first time. Enjoy the relaxing ranch life by viewing your ranch and its Pokémon, taking pictures and sending those pictures to your friends via the Wii Message Board. The more Pokémon and Miis you bring to your ranch, the more fun it becomes.
My Pokémon Ranch can be linked with the Nintendo DS Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl Game Cards to deposit the Pokémon you’ve caught in these games in your ranch. You can deposit a maximum of 1,000 Pokémon from up to eight different game cards. Make your ranch livelier by playing with your friends and family.

I remember playing Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa on one of those pirate cartridges back in the days, it was labeled as Baby Mario back then ;) It's a pretty neat game though.
Dig Dug...hell yeah.....
