WiiWare
Sandy
Beach (Konami, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone—Comic Mischief, 500
Wii Points): Enjoy a fun day at Sandy Beach as you build elaborate sand
castles. You can work peacefully on your sand castle or enter into a
battle with invading crabs in Crab Battle mode. Players will
strategically build their sand castle and use cannons to defend it
against an army of destructive crabs. After successfully defending your
sand castle, discover beach treasures and additional cannons with your
metal detector to customize your castle even more.
Virtual Console
Kirby's
Dream Land 3 (Super NES, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii
Points): Kirby, Dream Land's resident hero (and everyone's favorite
puffball), must once again save the day when the mischievous King Dedede
starts causing trouble. Kirby must travel through an assortment of
levels, battling an exotic array of enemies (both new and familiar)
determined to stop him from completing his mission. Always armed with
his trusty ability to swallow enemies and gain special attacks, Kirby
can also unite with some of his animal friends and make use of their
particular talents. Featuring detailed graphics, challenging boss
battles and the distinct charm of a Kirby game, it's no wonder this
title is considered a classic.
