One WiiWare Game and One Virtual Console Game Added to Wii Shop Channel
No matter what you've got planned for Valentine's Day, the latest additions to the Wii Shop Channel have what it takes to get your heart pounding. A new WiiWare game transports you to an eerie high school haunted by supernatural villains, while a classic Virtual Console title puts you in the heat of battle as a heroic mercenary. And remember: Just because these games are made for single-player action doesn't mean you can't share the excitement with your special someone.
Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
WiiWare
LIT
(WayForward Technologies, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and
Older—Violence, 800 Wii Points): Dark creatures have taken over Jake's
high school, and it's up to you to guide him through each classroom in
order to be reunited with his girlfriend Rachael. Existing light sources
must be used smartly to create bridges of light for Jake to cross. One
false step and Jake gets pulled into the darkness. Along the way he'll
encounter twisted versions of his school's faculty, which must be
battled in order to advance. LIT is a horror/puzzle game that requires
the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. It contains 30 levels, five boss
battles, replay modes and several unlockables, including multiple
endings, Dark Mode timed challenges and an unlockable character.
Virtual Console
Wolf
of the Battlefield: MERCS (SEGA GENESIS, 1 player, Rated E10+ for
Everyone 10 and Older—Mild Violence, 800 Wii Points): Following a rash
of terrorism outbreaks and increasing opposition from guerilla fighters,
the U.S. government has decided to hire a group of professional
mercenaries to undergo secret missions, battling through enemy lines to
go where no ordinary soldier would dare to go. Based on the popular
arcade game, the SEGA GENESIS version of MERCS lets you play as a MERC
and also adds an original mode, allowing players to choose from five
different characters. Take no prisoners as you shoot, drive jeeps and
tanks, and clash against huge bosses to accomplish your mission.
