VC/WiiWare Tuesday: Out of Galaxy, into the Wii Shop

Posted by admin

This week’s Japanese Virtual Console releases aren’t going to thrill anybody: another Langrisser strategy game that we’re unlikely to see, and Mappy, which you can and should play on your North American or European system. But the WiiWare releases this week should prove pretty exciting — to Japan. Except for Onitore, which is Drill Sergeant Mindstrong.

Out of Galaxy: Koshika is a new manga from Leiji Matsumoto, creator of Galaxy Express 999 and Space Battleship Yamato (as well as, yes, that Daft Punk thing). It’s the first manga title to premiere on Wii, and it’s a big deal! Also exciting: the return of Tecmo’s classic Tsuppari Oozumo sumo wrestling series. The new 3D models are nowhere near as cute as the Famicom sprites, but we’re still happy to see the game’s return. Is WiiWare low-risk enough for a localized sumo game?
