Following a strong week last week, with tons of Virtual Console games released, Nintendo returned to the slow speed of the previous weeks: just two new games hit the WiiWare and Virtual Console today, probably under the impression that people are still playing the bucketload of games released last week.

Family & Friends Party is a WiiWare title which is released for up to 8 players to enjoy for just 1,000 Wii points. Have fun with all your friends and family as you take on some very exciting challenges in this interactive board game which challenges players to all sorts of things, either as “single” or “versus” ones. And don’t think at anything X-rated, since it’s not the case!

Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen is the game released for the Virtual Console and can be purchased for 800 Wii Points. It’s up to you to defeat the “Empire”, who conquered the Kingdoms of Zenobia with a wrath of fear and bloodshed. You are the leader of a band of rebels who’ve fought to preserve the last shred of honor in this desperate time of treachery and you’ll have to manage the ranks of a full-blown rebel army, complete with hundreds of characters, magic items, weapons and mystical Tarot cards. As you can imagine, it is not an easy task, but you have all the time in the world, right?
