This is the last week of the Virtual Console Hanabi Festival, finishing off with Kirby's Dream Land 3 and sweet side-scrolling shooter Detana Twin Bee.
This week's updates also sees two new titles arrive on WiiWare, and more Brain Training action for DSiWare. Because we're not bored of that already. Nope.
Here's the official list:
VIRTUAL CONSOLE - Kirby's Dream Land 3 (Super Nintendo) (NINTENDO, 900 Wii Points): The mischievous King Dedede is back! Now possessed by an evil force, the King is causing trouble and strife all over Dream Land. Only Kirby, the powerful pink puffball, can save the day. Previously released only in Japan and the U.S., Kirby's Dream Land 3 features crisp, colourful 2D graphics and a simultaneous two-player mode.
As before, Kirby can swallow his enemies and absorb their abilities - fire, ice, stone, spark and more. Kirby can request help from his animal friends like Rick the Hamster, Coo the Owl, Nago the Cat and can also summon his stretchy-tongued pal Gooey, controlled either by the computer or a friend.
VIRTUAL CONSOLE - DETANA TWIN BEE (Turbografx) (Konami, 700 Wii Points): This popular vertical scrolling shooter is renowned for its cute, comical world and goofy enemy aliens.
You take on the roles of TwinBee and WinBee, flying through the sky on a mission to save the planet from evil alien invaders. Standing in their way are six stages, full of crazy aliens. Play as TwinBee in one player mode, or team up with WinBee in two player cooperative mode.
With powerful attacks like "Big Shot", along with "Twin Attack" and "Burst Attack" in two player mode, there's plenty of sting in their arsenal. Use your Shot to transform Bells that appear in stages into items with various effects. Stock up on these items to expand your attack range and make those aliens buzz off.
WiiWARE - ColorZ (EXKEE, 700 Wii Points): Play ColorZ and set forth in your spaceships on a mission to clean up the planets teeming with viruses. Immerse yourself in a new gameplay experience that will reveal mind-hand-eye coordination skills you never knew you had.
Absorb viruses of your own colour, but steer clear of the others. You can even cleverly merge your ships together to create new colours. Buzz past your enemies to keep your combo and clock up a new high-score record.
Explore an extra dimension to the game with the multi-player mode and share the unique experience of cooperative play between friends. Pool your forces, synchronise your movements, and become a unified team (of up to three players) to meet the challenge together.

It's really annoying that America has Mighty Flip Champs and Mario vs Donkey Kong and Japan has pretty much everything(but mostly Dragon Quest Wars!) and we have to put up with the crap.:(
Pop Plus: Solo, Mecho Wars and Mighty Flip Champs have all been sent for approval as well.... They better hurry up!
