We have a message to deliver to our European friends from the distant past: don't buy Protöthea. We had pretty much forgotten about this shooter, released soon after the North American launch of WiiWare, until Ubisoft inexplicably dusted it off for European release. There were much better shmups on the Wii a year ago, and there are only more now. Happily, there are also more arcade games now, like the wonderful Shinobi!

• Shinobi (Arcade, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
• PictureBook Games: Pop-Up Pursuit (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points)
• Protöthea (WiiWare, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points)
• A Little Bit of... Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training (DSiWare, 1 player, 800 DSi Points)
• Combat of Giants: Dragons - Bronze Edition (DSiWare, 1-4 players, 800 DSi Points)
