Avid readers of The Japanese Hardware Chart weekly updates won't be surprised—especially after reading about the PlayStation family's software dominance—that Sony hardware is selling better than the competition in Japan. No change this week.

How much you enjoy the upcoming WiiWare port of Phoenix Wright may depend on how big your television is. This is a port of a GBA/DS game, kids, not a HD remake.
Yesterday
Capcom is really supportive of WiiWare between this and Mega Man 9. As long as they don't jack up prices or chop up individual Phoenix Wright games into tiny episodes (which is almost the same thing as jacking up prices), I support the decision to port awesome DS games to WiiWare.

This might be played through a Wii/GameCube emulator, not on the console itself. There are a few flaws in the re-creation - how many can you spot? Mario doesn't go into the subterranean coin chamber, but that doesn't mean it exists, so let's say that one doesn't count.
Clearly Sega begs to differ though, with this spiffy Super Monkey Ball Thanksgiving wallpaper they posted to their blog. The wallpaper comes along with a hefty update on Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll for the Wii — screens, trailers, the works.
