News: Along with a ton of other DSiWare and WiiWare games.
A WiiWare remake of Phoenix Wright's second DS adventure, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All, will be added to the Wii Shop Channel today with a price of 1,000 Wii Points ($10). Also available this week will be the final entry in Sonic the Hedgehog's Genesis adventures, Sonic & Knuckles.

Art of Balance (WiiWare) - A physics-based puzzler that focuses on stacking objects.
Real Soccer 2010 (DSiWare) - A soccer sequel for the DSi.
Prehistorik Man (DSiWare) - A prehisoric platformer.
Scrabble Classic (DSiWare) - Scrabble for the DSi.
More information on all of these games can be found below.

Sonic, the world's fastest hedgehog, continues his adventures in this fourth installment of the Sonic The Hedgehog series. This time, he buddies up with his former enemy, Knuckles the Echidna, in order to defeat the evil Dr. Eggman (a.k.a. Dr. Robotnik). At the end of Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Dr. Eggman's ultimate orbital weapon for global domination, the Death Egg, was badly damaged in an epic battle with Sonic. The Death Egg, losing power rapidly, hurtled back down to the planet below and crash-landed on the mysterious Angel Island again. Now Sonic and Knuckles must put a stop to Dr. Eggman once and for all before Eggman and his no-goodniks find the secret to Angel Island's floating power, the Master Emerald. This game features Lock-On Technology, which allows you to play as Knuckles in other Sonic titles available for the Virtual Console, including Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Sonic The Hedgehog 3, as long as these titles are part of your Virtual Console library.
