Cuteness coming your way, Wii gamers! Toki Tori, that lovable little egg-shaped chick, has finally arrived on WiiWare! Check out what else is new on the US WiiWare and Virtual Console services by going to the full article.

Heads up, Wii gamers! It’s that time of the week once again to have your choice from an all new batch of games from WiiWare and the Virtual Console. Three new games are available this week for North America, including the long-awaited Toki Tori.

First up is, of course, Toki Tori. We’ve been expecting this for a while now. When news of it first came out, the release date for the game was on May 12. We don’t know what caused the delay, but we’re just glad that the game is finally here.

If you’re not familiar with the game, Toki Tori is a puzzle/platform game that was originally released on the Game Boy Color. In the game, players use a variety of tools to collect eggs, which are Toki Tori’s siblings. The game is worth 1,000 Wii Points.

The next game available on WiiWare is Protothea, worth 1,000 Wii Points. Protothea is a shooter game set in space. You have to traverse four different worlds and 10 missions to destroy the asteroid Maqno 01.

This week on the Virtual Console is Ninja Combat, a side-scrolling action game. Join Joe and Hayabusa in a battle against the evil ninjas of Kage Ichizoku. If the names sound familiar, it’s because they should be – this is one of the early Ninja Gaiden games. Ninja Combat is worth 900 Wii Points.
