Virtual Console:
Karate Dou (known as Karate Champ in the West) is one of the earlier side-scrolling 2-player fighters. It was originally published by Data East and developed by Technos, who later created River City Ransom, all the other Kunio-Kun games, and Double Dragon. Anybody who remembers dumping quarters into this machine can now spend 32 of them to own it forever.
WiiWare:
Pokosuka Racing is a 1-4 player racing game, in which each of the 8 cars has giant fists. While you race you can pick up items, throw them at each other, and punch each other's headlights out.
Zombie in Wonderland is a co-op shooter in which you save Wonderland from zombies, but you also seem to blow up a good amount of Wonderland in the process. Here's a trailer from last year, before the release date and title were changed.
DSiWare:
Ah! Nikakutori is a new puzzle game using mahjohng tiles.
G.G. Series: Exciting River is the 12th $2 game in the G.G. Series. This one has you canoeing up a river, collecting fruits, and dodging a variety of obstacles.
Gekitsui-Oh is a 3-D bi-plane dogfighting game. You can shoot targets, computer-controlled planes, or up to 3 friends with local wireless play. The game also doesn't use either the stylus or the D-Pad to steer. You steer by tilting your DSi, and the camera is used to pay attention to the tilting horizon.
Hachi-One Diver DS Story is another shogi game based on the popular shogi manga Hachi-One Diver.
Kaite Oboeru: Eitango Chou is a flashcard creation application made by Intelligent Systems. It lets you write romaji characters, kana, or kanji on either side of virtual flash cards, create and name a set, and use it later.
Kaite Oboeru: Shashin Tango is the same thing, but it uses the DSi camera to make photo-to-word flash cards with small captions.

Looking forward to (hopefully) Zombie coming to America!
Akaoni Studio is in Spain, so they'll at least be bringing the game to Europe, and then hopefully America too. Marvelous just launched their "World Game Parade" deal, where they'll be publishing some western WiiWare games in Japan, like Max and the Magic Marker and some others. This is the first one they're doing, and for some reason they're actually publishing it in Japan before the Europe from whence it came.
And the western title is Zombie Panic in Wonderland.
yeah the zombie game looks like a neat little shooter for wiiware.
I like the look of the zombie game. I hope is see translation in the states.
