Bonsai Barber (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points): The village residents need their hair cut, and it's up to you, the new barber, to fix them up. Use the tools of your trade: scissors, clippers, spray can, and more in this first-of-its-kind "first-person-groomer" game. Bonsai Barber features a cast of 12 customers, including a starlet, a cactus cowboy, a daredevil carrot, and a suave banana. Each day, five customers arrive to test your stylistic skill and its up to you to cut and style accordingly.

Super Punch-Out!! (Virtual Console, Super NES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): This sequel to the NES classic sees Little Mac return to the ring with the World Video Boxing Association belt once again at stake. Battle through the Minor, Major and World Circuits as you face off against some of Little Mac's greatest rivals, such as Bear Hugger, Bald Bull and Super Macho Man.
