GoNintendo posted Thursday a Best Buy scan that shows both titles are back on store shelves and selling for the attractive price of $19.99.

September belongs to Wii, zombified rhinoceri
When a console’s list of upcoming games includes zombified animal cruelty, you either hand over September or it takes from you. A blogger over at Destructoid has profiled eight Wii games scheduled to waggle into your living rooms next month as proof that Wii has exclusive dibs on September. The list includes Nintendo’s Wario Land: Shake It! and third-party titles like Mega Man 9, de Bl...
Ghostbusters Wii placeholder spotted, the sponges migrated about a foot and a half
Infendo reader Ki used an unlicensed nuclear accelerator to nab this picture in a New Zealand game store. Activision may have shut down the protection grid, but it seems likely another publisher will prepare for the coming of Gozer. Let’s hope they don’t cross the streams. Ghostbusters nerds should be able to decode that. If that excludes you…nothing happens. I go to jail peacefu...
Order Up! a surprisingly tasty dish on Wii
It is always a treat to play a game infinitely more enjoyable than you expected it would be. A devilishly good-looking writer at Ace Gamez had such an experience this week with Order Up! on Wii. From the 7/10 review: “You assume the role of a struggling and talented chef with little more than hopes, dreams and a spatula. After literally landing on bustling Port Abello, an island famous for i...

Miyamoto hints to new Pikmin, Mario titles
No one expected to be dissecting quotes again so soon, but if I don’t write about some good Nintendo games during E3, I am going to lose my freaking mind. If I have to dig through interviews for more vague hints, the likes of which are usually pre-E3 fodder, then so be it. Nintendo broke my heart during its onstage waggle-fest idiot parade yesterday, but the company has dropped some hints of...
Mushroom Men progressing well, looks very promising on Wii
Take a subtle blend of Rare-like gameplay, throw in special powers ripped from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and simmer it over a heaping pile of… slimy fungi and malodorous mushrooms. It may not seem an appetizing blend, but fans of classic Rareware such as Star Fox Adventures and Conker’s Bad Fur Day should be excited about this recipe. It yields three cups of Mushroom Men: The Spor...
IGN: Mario Super Sluggers an “all-star effort”
After prematurely slamming Mario Super Sluggers for weeks, IGN has posted two hands-on previews of the Japanese version. From IGN AU’s Monday article: “Namco Bandai has clearly done a great job of re-imagining the Nintendo world as this place called Baseball Island. It looks as good as any first-party Wii effort so far, moving at 60 frames-per-second, and it’s easy to pick up and...
