Guilty Gear Judgment - $6, complete - includes the beat 'em up Judgment and a version of GGX2#Reload on one disc. I have the latter on Xbox, but the former is exclusive here. Hopefully it's better than that subpar DS Guilty Gear game...

Otogi: Myth of Demons - $4, complete - hack and slash action game. Not sure if I'll like it or not, this genre doesn't always hold my interest, but it is from Sega...
WiiWare - Yeah, got some Wii VC/WiiWare stuff for the first time since May. Several of these are recent... yes, decent WiiWare games are still coming out, surprisingly.

Vampire Crystals - $10. This is a topdown twin-stick shooter. You'd think that there would be more of these on Wii, with how well pointer-and-stick works for the genre, but there aren't really, apart from the great Geometry Wars Galaxies. This just came out like a week ago, and has a demo too, which is great; doubt if I'd bought if I couldn't have played it. It seems decent, but not amazing. Good enough to play given that I like the genre. The graphical style reminds me of Warcraft (3), sort of -- it's cartoony 3d like that.
Driift Mania - $8. Top-down racing game in the Super Sprint/Super Off-Road style. I've been meaning to get this game for years, and finally did!
Drop Zone: Under Fire - $5. Cheap, low-budget rail shooter, pretty much, where you drop down while shooting enemies and dodging/flying through obstacles. Looks a bit like FreeFall 3050 on Nuon, or something, I guess; I imagine there are more popular games that also use this style (that Aaaaaah! game sort of does, but it doesn't have shooting, so the results are different... that's just dropping.), but I know that one does. Anyway, it looks decent, and was cheap enough that I thought it'd be worth trying either way. The game released a couple of months ago, and I think is actually Wii exclusive.
Also I got the last $5 worth of Mega Man 10 DLC, so I have Bass and the endless stage now.

Sin & Punishment - $12. Yeah, finally shelled out the money... probably worth it because it does have that English menu translation you won't find on the N64. Also it's a lot cheaper of course.
