Another couple of Wii games are due out on the North American Wii U eShop this week. Nintendo’s website is listing Rhythm Heaven Fever as well as Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles for release tomorrow.

Below is an overview of Rhythm Heaven Fever:

“Perfect your rhythm with over 50 minigames and remixes in this quirky, charming rhythm game. Catchy music and crazy scenarios will teach players to feel the beat. It’s easy to learn, tough to master…but aim for accurate performances, as players will be rewarded with medals and bonus content!”

And a brief description of Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles:

“Swarms of undead creatures and mutated terrors rule the streets, pestilent hordes born of Umbrella’s botched biowarfare research. Gather your firepower, choose various routes and pathways, and prepare to face the horror as you uncover the dark truth that could take Umbrella down forever.”

Both of these games will cost $19.99 each.

Ohayou! Beginner’s Japanese is nearly ready to debut on Wii U. According to a listing on the eShop, it will be out on November 17.

Here’s a brief overview:

“Have you always been interested in learning Japanese? Asuka and Kenji are here to help guide you along the path to learning how to read Japanese Hiragana and Katakana. Use digital flash cards to learn how to both write and how to pronounce each character. And when you think you’ve gotten a grasp of the language, you can participate in a memory game of over 60 lessons requiring you to use your finger to ‘cut’ across the matching Hiragana or Katakana. If you get past these lessons, you will surely learn the basics of the Japanese language!”

Ohayou! Beginner’s Japanese will cost $4.99.

Bear Box Media has announced Scribble, a Pictionary-inspired game for the Wii U eShop. It’s targeted for release before the holidays at a $4 / €4 / £3 price point.

Here’s a rundown of Scribble, straight from the developer:

It comes with over 1500 words from 17 categories, such as Objects, Places and People, and of course the customary “Difficult” category. However, it also includes an “Easy mode” category, customised specifically for children, meaning kids can play alongside adults and still take part in both drawing and guessing.

Scribble includes 5 unique modes for up to 8 players: Versus mode (all against all), Teams (Red VS Blue, team sizes 2-6), Elimination (Players take turns drawing until someone fails to guess their picture, at which point they are eliminated from the game (but can still guess other pictures)), Barricade (Blockbusters inspired mode, in which teams try to reach the opposite side of a board from their starting point) and Tug’O’Draw (A team game, but everyone guesses. Whichever team guesses scores the point, and the other team loses one. First to reach 10 points, wins.)
