Nintendo is back with three new games this week, although unfortunately only one is a virtual console game, the other two being WiiWare games. The new virtual console game this week is: SKYKID for the Nintendo; the two new WiiWare games are: Critter Round-Up and Star Soldier R.

SKYKID

Red Baron, from the freedom- and peace-loving nation of birds, Bird Land, faces off in the skies with his rival Blue Max in this side-scrolling shooting game. Defeat the many enemies that await you as you complete your mission, using moves like the loop-the-loop to shoot down enemies from behind. Fly low to pick up bombs placed in the stage and drop them on command posts, warships or other designated targets to destroy them. Then land safely at base to proceed to the next mission. Beware of enemy fire, though-it will cause you to crash, unless you’re able to recover by rapidly pressing the buttons. You can even play with a second person and fly simultaneously, sometimes helping each other and other times competing against each other. Prepare yourself and take to the skies, but make sure that the catchy background music (which became an instant classic when this game was originally released) doesn’t distract you from your goal.

Critter Round-Up

The critters have escaped, and the barnyard is in chaos! It’s up to you to quickly corral the animals in this puzzle-action challenge. You’ll have to mend fences in a hurry to keep all the critters safe and satisfied. But the fun doesn’t stop with the farmland; more than 50 challenging levels take you to several exotic locations, including the outback, the icy Arctic and more. There’s even a series of minigames for when the critters get you down: Snowball Soccer, Predator Rampage, Chicken Catch and Fence Trap. Up to four players can compete or cooperate as the critters run wild. So roll up those sleeves and grab a friend-those critters won’t catch themselves.
Players: 4
Cost: 1,000

Star Soldier R

Star Soldier R is a new kind of shooter where players aim for the best scores within a two- or five-minute time limit. Develop various scoring strategies, and pump out those points within the breakneck time frame. Assembled in record time to counter the advance of a powerful enemy, the mysterious Brain Forces, the “Caesar” starfighter takes off to fight for the very future of mankind. Shoot down countless enemies, upgrade your ship to the max with power-ups hidden throughout the levels and wage an all-out assault against the core of the enemy fortress. Combining the excitement of shoot-’em-ups with in-depth scoring strategies, this state-of-the-art competitive shooter will keep you coming back for more. Upload your best scores with Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, and pit your skills against the world’s best fighter pilots from the comfort of your living room. Hone your skills and show the world who’s boss.

SkyKid isn't too bad once you get used to the controls but hardly justifies being the only VC game of the week. But Nintendo are a typical Japanese company so NA and Europe will get screwed until the Wii is dead while Japan is still getting four VC games a week and some that are actually games people would want

Critter Round-Up is possibly the worst game I have ever played. Not just worst game I have played on the Wii..... WORST GAME EVER!!!! And I have played shit like Shaq Fu and Superman 64

Star Solider R has good gameplay but only being able to play five minutes max at a time is a joke. And the online leaderboards are so pathetically done that when the only point to the game is playing for 2 minutes or 5 minutes to compete for leaderboard scores it is made even worse. They load so slow, they have no options to sort them and there are no unique names so a bunch of people use the same name and you lose all track of what score was even meant to be yours. Basically it is what would usually be a trial for XBLA.
