Making its debut on the WiiWare™ service this week, Fluidity
invites players to embark on an exciting hydro action adventure by
controlling water in various forms. Players can test the waters before

Points™. Meanwhile, a pair of arcade classics from Capcom - Wolf of the Battlefield: COMMANDO and SONSON™ -
are now available via the Virtual Console™ service, letting fans enjoy
old-school battle action on the Wii™ system. And if those battles aren't
enough for you, check out Dairojo! Samurai Defenders for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service.
WiiWare
Fluidity
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Comic Mischief
Price: 1,200 Wii Points; demo version available for 0 Wii Points
Description: A magical illustrated encyclopedia called Aquaticus
has been tainted by a vial of evil ink called the Influence. As a pool
of water that can take on alternate forms of ice and steam, you must
overcome obstacles scattered across the pages of Aquaticus and
save it from the corruptive Influence. Tilt and twist your Wii Remote™
controller to use the various forms and properties of water on your
free-flowing journey through Aquaticus, where every page has
multiple panels and illustrations that come to life. Tackle problems and
defeat enemies to reveal magical Rainbow Drops, each of which will
restore some of Aquaticus' power and allow it to open more
chapters and grant you new powers. These additional powers, such as
sticking to objects as a block of ice or shooting bolts of lightning as a
steam cloud, will be essential to destroying the Influence and its
minions. Along the way, you can also test your ingenuity and reflexes by
finding hidden puzzle pieces. These pieces unlock playrooms that give
you the opportunity to use the skills you've learned and race against
the clock to complete as many challenges as possible. These challenges
won't affect your quest to restore Aquaticus' powers, but everyone needs a break now and again, right? Fluidity
offers the chance to slosh and slide your way through an imaginative
environment filled with challenging adventures. Are you ready to dive
into this unique experience?
