There is another interesting update for Eshop on Wii U on Thursday. Nintendo is releasing the Nintendo 64 classic Sin and Punishment developed by Treasure. Originally it was just released in Japan in November 2000, but it has also been available for Virtual Console on Wii in Europe since September 2007. It has been updated with English menu and tutorial text, and English subtitles in the ending sequence.

Another great addition for Virtual Console is Startropic and Zoda's Revenge: Startropics II. They are great, but challenging action-adventure-platformers originally released for NES at the beginning of the 90s. The successor Zoda's Revenge: Startropics II was just released in the US. Both games are already available for Virtual Console on Wii and are now coming to Wii U as well.

But it's not just old games coming for Wii U this week. Runbow was part of the Nindies@Home program that Nintendo offered for E3. It's a fast paced action party game for up to nine players and the world changes with each swipe of the background colour. There are six modes. Four modes - King of the Hill, Arena, Run and ColourMaster - are focused on competitive multiplayer. Two modes - Adventure and Bowhemoth - are playable alone or co-operatively.

Two games with Gunman Clive are already available for 3DS. Now Hörberg Productions is releasing Gunman Clive HD Collection for Wii U as one package. And finally Teyon is releasing the RTS/Tower-Defence game Zombie Defense. For 3DS we get Little Battlers eXperience. It's a futuristic RPG where we have a million ways to create our own battle robot.
