Now he has to back to Control Throwers Anonymous.

Though other people have reported that the online multiplayer mode is really fun and there are a lot of people playing it. Plus it has a 'Snowboard Kids' vibe to it.

Snowboard kids!?!? I LOVED that game..

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #2606 on:** February 09, 2009, 07:22:55 AM »

Yeah Snowboard kids is awesome but Snowboard Riot is average at best.

I don't think i have SK for my 64 anymore, so replacing it with some sort of spiritual successor would of been awesome. I never did get Snowboard Kids 2 either, sigh.

BTW this week looks like a bad week.

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.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #2610 on:** February 09, 2009, 10:39:50 AM »

Mercs is absolutely awesome. It's the sequel to Commando and is the best vertical scrolling run-n-gun I've ever played.

Though the Genesis version has one big flaw - it's only one player! The arcade game is THREE PLAYERS. D'oh! I think it's supposed to still be quite good but if you have a system that can play Capcom Classics Collection get that instead to get the three player arcade version.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #2611 on:** February 09, 2009, 10:44:18 AM »

I really want to see how Lit performs with both players and the gaming media. The concept was dreamed up by IGN's Matt and Bozon. If the game flops it could be embarrassing for them because after they spend their time criticizing games they can't make their own.

There's also Wolf Of The Battlefield: Commando 3 on XBLA, if you care about that.

i watched a video about it on youtube, and I can totally see how 3 players would make this super fun.

See Ian's post on Mercs (Mercs is awesome but 1 player only sucks), and LIT is a trial and error type of game with a lot of little frustrations with trial and error on top of that.

I'm actually enjoying LIT a lot. It's got trial and error, yes, but I still find it fun and challenging.
'Course, I grew up with a lot of trial and error games and games where there was twisted nonsensical logic involved so maybe I've acquired a taste for it. Plus it's only eight bucks.

vudu · « **Reply #2617 on:** February 16, 2009, 06:09:09 AM »

Not a very exciting week.

WiiWare: Evasive Space (1,000 pts.)
VC: Life Force (NES, 500 pts.)

However, this next bit is intriguing.

Even people living along Route 286 in rural Pennsylvania ought to be excited. It’ll feel like a bunch of birthday greetings and, really, who could ask for more? But that's about all we can say for now, so be sure to check future Wii-kly Updates.

What could it mean?

Nice to see another Wiiware shooter but it looks pretty average, nothing new.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #2619 on:** February 16, 2009, 09:20:43 AM »

It's a shooter without the shooting from what I've seen so far (or Kurukuru Kururin without the rotating stick).

decoyman · « **Reply #2620 on:** February 16, 2009, 09:25:28 AM »

Hmm, intriguing news, vudu. What could it be? I honestly have no idea what those clues could mean...

Anyone have any ideas?

Pale · « **Reply #2621 on:** February 16, 2009, 09:28:00 AM »

Life Force is extremely exciting. The best NES co-op shooter IMO.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #2622 on:** February 16, 2009, 09:34:45 AM »

DOOD, Evasive Space looks like an awesome HVS game, and 2-player co-op!

Commodore 64, if you look up those hints on a map it points to a town called Commodore and one of the team names it refers to is called the Commodores.

There was a rumor this morning about Commodore 64 coming to the states.
