SRB2Wii is an unofficial port of the 3D platformer fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2.
Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a 3D open-source Sonic the Hedgehog fangame built using a modified version of the Doom Legacy port of Doom. SRB2 is closely inspired by the original Sonic games from the Sega Genesis, and attempts to recreate the design in 3D. While SRB2 isn’t fully completed, it already features tons of levels, enemies, speed, and quite a lot of the fun that the original Sonic games provided.

Brick Warning
In the unlikely case that you lose power during patching process, you may brick your Wii. This will only happen if you lose power while the patches are being applied, and as this is a quick process, there is small risk of bricking. However, if you do brick, no one is responsible. There is no warranty with this app. You should take a BootMii NAND dump and have BootMii installed as boot2 (if possible) as a precaution.

Maze of Galious was an MSX game released in 1987 by Konami. In 2002, a remake of this game has been released by the Brain Games team. This remake was written in SDL, and is now ported to Wii.
Maze Of Galious is regarded as one of the greatest games for the MSX home computer, being released in 1987. While most of the console and home computer games back then had very simple gameplay, quite similar to arcade games, Maze of Galious was an epic action adventure. It mixed the mechanics of platform games with the exploration of huge maps. It required several hours to complete, a task nearly impossible to do in a single gaming session. Ttherefore, the game allowed the player to restore its progress through a very complex password system, very similar to the one found in [Metal Gear], also released by Konami in the same year.
However, since it is one of the earliest attempts at its genre, many of its gameplay aspects might seem odd by today’s standards. There are very few in-game instructions, as the game assumes that the player would refer to the manual whenever required. So, if you never played the original game before, it is recommended to read the following reference, which contains instructions for the game (beware of spoilers, as this guide also contains a complete step-by-step walkthrough of the game): http://bifi.msxnet.org/msxnet/konami/mog/
Changes:
Critical bugfix: Sometimes changing the sound set after playing the game once (ended with game over or quitting) would freeze the console.
Bugfix: The activation of the dagger item was incorrectly assigned to the sabre item.

Revolt Of The Binary Couriers is a 2D turn based RPG with no real plot or narrative. You play as a robot and fight random monsters, collect boxes and occasionally encounter NPCs. There is no goal just grinding.
Release notes:
Heres an update to Revolt Of The Binary Couriers (the sequel to Pineapple Apocalypse RPG).
First of all its gotten all of the same improvements that I made in the recent update to its predecessor. Improved frame rate, classic controller support, bug fixes, repositioned text boxes, background music (once again Aeroplanes by Nanodrone) and a slightly improved home menu.
I also fixed it up in a few other ways. The pause menu now has an option to start a new game. You can bring up the pause menu at any time now (even during combat although the option to save is disabled during fights). There are also a few new enemies.

RaveWild is a mix between a top-down shooter, a tower defense game and a real-time strategy. You create three different units to protect you as invaders pour in at an increasing rate. Your job is to survive as long as you can.
Changes:
Added particles when combatants are hit and destroyed.
Finally fixed score, screen adjustment saving
Strategy Mode added for a more “Tower Defense” style of gameplay.
Nixed Survival Mode for the newly-added Strategy Mode; the shake barrier unbalanced the game anyway.
The player can now defend themselves against invaders when in Fighter Mode.
All combatants now have rapid fire.
“How to Play” feature was nixed.
Also, high scores are now saved in XML.
