It's another Monday, and another three games will make their way to the North American Wii Shop Channel. This week we have a pair of import TurboGrafx games, and a solid puzzle game from our friends at Hudson Entertainment.

The WiiWare title is Pop'Em Drop'Em SAMEGAME, from Hudson Entertainment. Clearing your puzzle grid is the name of the game in single player, trying to shoot for the high score. Up to four players can play three different multiplayer modes, "Fame Game", which is like the single player mode, "Shame Game", where players need to shoot for the lowest scores, and "Blame Game", where players go free-for-all on a single grid. Already released in Europe, it has received good reviews.

The first Virtual Console title is Bomberman '94 for the TurboGrafx. It is up to Bomberman to restore the Spirit Pictures that were destroyed by the evil Bagular and his robot army, in order to put Bomber Planet back together. This version of the game can feature up to five players in multiplayer.


The other Virtual Console title is the shoot-em-up Detana!! Twinbee, also for the TurboGrafx. Set in a fantasy setting, control sentient ships Twinbee and Winbee as they set to save the world from evil alien invaders. Drawing heavily influence from Xevious, Detana!! Twinbee offers significant variations, from the powerup system to the game's two-player mode. Read more about the game at Hardcore Gaming 101.
