Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy at an entry level price
as part of its acclaimed *Nintendo Selects range from 16th September.

This year Nintendo is
celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda video game
series and in celebration of this has selected The Legend of Zelda:
Twilight Princess to join its Nintendo Selects range. Originally
released to great acclaim in 2006 as a launch title for Wii The Legend
of Zelda: Twilight Princess is in keeping with the tradition of The
Legend of Zelda series, the heroic Link is once again on a quest through
the land of Hyrule. Dark forces have stolen the light from the land and
replaced it with a mysterious darkness known as Twilight. The young
Link has been chosen by the gods to help free Hyrule and return the
light to the land by defeating the King of Darkness. With the powers
given to him by the gods, Link can travel within the darkness by
transforming into a wolf where actions in the Twilight affect the light
world.
To make your way past fearsome monsters, through the
bleak Twilight and numerous dank dungeons on your way to restoring light
to the land, players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk as each of Link's
hands. This means you can be wielding Link's sword in one hand and his
shield in the other, slash with the Wii Remote as you would with a real
sword in your hand to battle enemies. The game features many hours of
epic playtime and cinematic cut-scenes that will leave you engrossed in
the storyline. Fans or newcomers to The Legend of Zelda series of games
should keep an eye out as additional 25th anniversary activities will be
announced throughout 2011.
Originally released in 2007, Super
Mario Galaxy sees Mario take to the stars in his first ever dedicated
space outing on Wii with glorious graphics capturing the galactic scale
of the levels. Exploring numerous galaxies each with their own distinct
colourful environments, Mario must battle ingenious monsters, master new
moves and pick-up brand new power-ups, such as the stripy mushroom that
transforms you into Bee Mario allowing you to hover in the air. The
player can utilise these new skills to rescue Princess Peach who has
been kidnapped by Bowser. By completing each galaxy, Mario is awarded a
Power Star which allows him to visit further galaxies and continue on
his mission.
Players control Mario with the Wii Remote and
Nunchuk utilising motion controls and the pointer to interact with outer
space. The Spin Move is new in Super Mario Galaxy, simply wave the Wii
Remote to make Mario spin, to stun enemies or interact with objects on
each level. Using the Spin Move whilst in mid-air will also propel Mario
further into the air allowing for valuable extra time to avoid
obstacles. The Co-Star mode allows a second player to get involved in
the fun. Using a second Wii Remote, players can position a yellow
pointer on the screen that can either help or hinder Mario on his
mission. Either hold down enemies if you are feeling cooperative or if
you are feeling mischievous then you can get in the way of Mario at a
crucial moment.
