Two WiiWare Games and One Virtual Console Game Added to Wii Shop Channel
What's your weapon of choice? Is it a laser gun? Or maybe just a simple
deck of cards? No matter what type of game gets you fired up, the latest
additions to the Wii Shop Channel are sure to add something new and
exciting to your arsenal. With fast-flying cards, tumbling pachinko
balls and sinister vampires in your midst, you'll need every tool at
your disposal.
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
Jungle
Speed (Playful Entertainment Inc., 1-8 players, Rated E for
Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): Jungle Speed is a lightning-fast card game
for the entire family, where quick reflexes and a keen eye will put you
on top. Flip your cards, watch your opponents and grab the totem at the
right moment to win the game. Just when you think you've got it down, a
new card can temporarily change the rules and keep you on the edge. Play
starts when the first person flips a card. Moving around the table,
symbols are revealed until two of the exposed cards match. Players with
matching cards must then scramble to grasp the totem in the middle of
the table; the loser gets the winner's cards and anything in the pot.
With paws flying, be the first person to get rid of all your cards and
win the game.
Planet
Pachinko (Allied Kingdoms Inc., 1-2 players, Rated E for
Everyone—Fantasy Violence, 500 Wii Points): Can you survive the
Pachinkeet Temples of Planet Pachinko? In the future of the future, an
ancient civilization has sealed away its riches in elaborate temples
dedicated to the game of pachinko. Now the Robot family must fight
through these dangerous temples in search of their lost puppy. Using
their rockets, lasers, grenades and slime launchers, will they be able
to survive the challenges? They aren't the only ones adventuring through
the temples. The pirate Vile Vill and his minions are looking to loot
the temples and take on the Robot family. Play in single-player mode or
with a friend in exciting two-player co-op.
Virtual Console
Castlevania
III: Dracula's Curse (NES, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone—Fantasy
Violence, 500 Wii Points): This is the third game in the popular
Castlevania series and the last of the franchise released on the
original NES console. Take on the role of Trevor Belmont, forefather of
Simon, and battle Dracula in a time long before the events of the first
two Castlevania games. In addition to his trusty whip, Trevor has a
previously unseen power—the ability to transform into one of three
different companion spirits that he meets during his quest: Syfa, a
young vampire hunter capable of powerful magic; Grant, a ferocious
pirate who can climb on walls; and Alucard, forgotten son of Dracula,
able to shoot fireballs and transform into a bat. Use an assortment of
weapons (some specific to each character) as you choose which path to
follow in your fight against Dracula and his army. Loaded with replay
value and featuring some of the best platform action ever, this title is
not to be missed.
