Update notes

2007

*The April 6 update was on April 5 because of Good Friday.
*The May 18 update was on May 16 (presumably because of Ascension Day), although the games were removed around 1:00 AM CET the next day. They were then readded at the normal update time on May 18.
*Turbografx-16 games were originally not available in Australia, however they were introduced in the July 6 update.
* The first Hanabi Festival with earlier Japan- and/or US-only games started in September. The imported games are always released in three consecutive weeks and cost an additional 100 points (200 points for Nintendo 64 games) during the festival. "Mario's Super Picross", ' (later removed), "Ninja Gaiden", "Ninja JaJaMaru-kun", "Gradius III" and ' (which has received an English translation and localization for its VC release) were released this time. It is worthy of note that Ninja Gaiden was released as 'Shadow Warriors' in the PAL region before, but now retains its American name and 60Hz only refresh rate so it should thereby be considered as an import title instead.
*"Pokémon Snap" was added alongside the VC gift giving feature on December 11 instead of the normal update on December 14.
*"" was added on December 25 as a 'Christmas present' instead of December 28.

*As Europe received only one title on May 23 -- a Commodore 64 game -- Australia did not receive any VC titles.
*As of May 30, VC games have been released every fortnight with WiiWare games being released every other week instead. This cycle is broken only during the Hanabi Festivals.
*The third Hanabi Festival started in late August. The festival saw the release of ' (re-released), ', "Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa", "Dig Dug", "" and "Spelunker".
