After an explosion of new Wii and DS announcements the other day, Nintendo released a list of no fewer than 50 games planned for WiiWare in Japan. Most of them have confusing moonspeak names that make no sense to silly English-speaking people, and a few have already been released in North America, but two games stand out. It seems that Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Island are coming to WiiWare. Making up Taito’s list of upcoming WiiWare games are Bubble Bobble Wii and Rainbow Island Tower. Exciting news for oldschool NES gamers, indeed. People who are in their 20s (or older) and aren’t afraid to play a game starring baby dinosaurs squirting bubbles at wind-up toys. 

There’s not much else to say about either game at this point, besides the names. Expect more news when it becomes available.
