Over the next five weeks, Japanese Wii U owners will be able to purchase more Wii games, with two releasing every week. These games will also each have a 30% discount available via My Nintendo. The schedule is as follows:

July 27: Xenoblade Chronicles, Rhythm Heaven Fever
August 3: Super Paper Mario, Project Zero 2: Wii Edition
August 9: Kirby’s Epic Yarn, New Super Mario Bros. Wii
August 17: Mario Strikers Charged, Mario Super Sluggers
August 24: Wario Land Shake It, Mario Sports Mix

Both Rhythm Heaven Fever and Project Zero 2 have not yet released on the Wii U for any region, so this is the first we’ve heard of their digital rerelease. Hopefully a similar deal and those games reach other territories.

Pokemon Ranger is arriving on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow, Nintendo’s website reveals. It will cost $9.99.

Nintendo’s website provides the following overview:

In the Fiore Region there are those sworn to serve people, Pokémon, and nature–the Pokémon Rangers. In their frequently challenging line of work, the Rangers rely on their Capture Stylers–special devices that only they are allowed to use. Using their Catupture Stylers, the Rangers borrow the abilities of Pokémon to uphold Fiore’s peace. But look out for the Go-Rock Squad–they want to use Pokémon for a more sinister purpose, and it’s up to the Pokémon Rangers to help stop them. It’s an adventure that gets you into the Pokémon action like never before!

Nintendo recently said that it would be bringing more Pokemon games to the Virtual Console this summer. On June 23, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team and Explorers of Sky came to Wii U.

Astrosaurus Games is readying Collateral Thinking “an arcade-style action platformer for Wii U that’s all about beating up alien ghosts, recovering blueprints, and rescuing billionaires on a tight schedule (and budget).”

The indie developer passed along the following overview:

“Collateral Thinking is an arcade-style action platformer for Wii U that’s all about beating up alien ghosts, recovering blueprints, and rescuing billionaires on a tight schedule (and budget). Each level is a self-contained screen that gives you one of three specific tasks to complete in 30 short seconds – to “Avoid” all the hazards, to “Bust” all the enemies, or to “Collect” all the blueprints. These quickfire challenges force you to quickly survey your surroundings and then jump into action in order to progress through the 100+ floors and net as much cash as possible along the way. The game is meant to blend the core floor-climbing, obstacle negotiation of Donkey Kong with the original Mario Bros.’ single-screen enemy hunting, and then crank up the speed, intensity, and absurdity while adding elements of Wario Ware’s unpredictability and impulsivity to the mix.”

Astrosaurus Games says Collateral Thinking will be out within “the next week or two” in North America. Europe and Australia will have it on August 18. When it’s available, the game will cost $2.99.
