WiiWare demos join a host of new games for download on WiiWare & DSiWare this Friday
This week sees the launch of a new service added to the Wii Shop
Channel, in the form of ongoing downloadable WiiWare demos. Containing a
taster of the full version of a WiiWare game, WiiWare demos offer
players the ability to trial select WiiWare games without using up any
of their Wii Points, giving players the enjoyment of testing out the
game before ultimately deciding whether to download the full version of
the game or not using their Wii Points.
Every WiiWare demo
featured on the Wii Shop Channel will be available for a limited time
only ensuring the line-up is constantly kept refreshed to provide
players with a varied and entertaining experience. Players will be able
to see the WiiWare demos currently available for download via a
dedicated list on wiiware.nintendo.co.uk as well as on the Wii Shop
Channel itself.
Available across Europe from the 5th November
2010, players will be in for a treat as four WiiWare demos are made
available to play including Furry Legends Demo (Gamelion), Jett Rocket
Demo (Shin’en Multimedia), ThruSpace™ Demo (Nintendo) & Zombie Panic
in Wonderland Demo (Akaoni Studio).
As if that wasn’t enough,
there’s also an array of new, full version WiiWare & Nintendo
DSiWare games available for download this Friday. From a reaction taxing
puzzle with ThruSpace™: High Velocity 3D Puzzle on WiiWare, to the
brain-teasing Bookworm™, on Nintendo DSiWare. And whatever hero you
worship, from superhero to rock hero, GO Series: Fatal Blow and Rytmik
Rock Edition on Nintendo DSiWare have them both.
WiiWare - ThruSpace™: High Velocity 3D Puzzle
(Nintendo, 800 Wii Points)
ThruSpace™:
High Velocity 3D Puzzle is a unique 3D puzzle game that will test your
spatial awareness and reactions to the limit. Players must guide a
‘Keydron’ - a simple geometrical shape, travelling at speed - through
gaps in a series of walls, rotating the Keydron to the correct angle in
order to fit through. The more walls you pass through, the higher your
score will become; keep an eye out for crystals along the way, as every
crystal you manage to collect will boost your points.
Once you've
mastered the basics, go a step further and learn how to do tricks and
combos - skills you’ll find useful to score additional points. You’ll
notice that some gaps in the walls are bigger than the Keydron – use
your skills to fill the entire space with the Keydron's shadow before
passing through it, and you’ll increase your score.
There are
three modes to enjoy: ‘Normal’, ‘Endless’ and ‘Trick Challenge’; you can
even save three of your best runs as watchable replays in ‘Keydron
Memories’ mode. As if that wasn’t enough, the online leaderboard allows
you to compare scores and compete with players around the world, via
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
* This title launches with a free demo, available for download for a limited period.
Nintendo DSiWare - Bookworm™
(PopCap, 500 Nintendo DSi Points)
Players
must connect letter tiles - left, right, up and down - to build words
and satisfy Lex’s appetite in ‘Bookworm Classic’ mode. Watch out for
burning letters though — they could spell disaster for you and Lex. You
can use ‘Reward Tiles’ and spell ‘Bonus Words’ to boost your score, as
well as linking your best words to enter the Hall of Fame. With
unlimited levels of word-puzzle fun, you’ll enjoy exercising your brain
and learning new words on the go every time you play!
* Bookworm™ is only available for download, via Nintendo DSiWare, to players based in the UK and Ireland.
Nintendo DSiWare - GO Series: Fatal Blow
(GAMEBRIDGE, 200 Nintendo DSi Points)
GO
Series presents Fatal Blow from Suzak. Confront an evil army and save
the day in this superhero fighting game. Each time you defeat an enemy
with a ‘Hero Attack’, the ‘Hero Gauge’ increases. Use simple button
commands to charge-up the ‘Hero Gauge ‘and unleash powerful ‘Superhero
Attacks’ on your foes. Continue to land ‘Hero Attacks’ in a bid to keep
the ‘Hero Gauge’ charged and perform a devastating chain of Superhero
Attacks.
Nintendo DSiWare - Rytmik Rock Edition
(Cinemax, 800 Nintendo DSi Points)
Rytmik
Rock Edition is an application for creating both rhythmical and melodic
themes as well as whole songs. It blends the fast and well-arranged
interface of classic drum machines with the flexible pattern interface
of popular trackers and a modern sound library. As if that wasn’t
enough, Rytmik Rock Edition also contains more than 130 carefully
selected sound samples of drum set, keyboards, bass, clean, lead and
rhythm guitars instruments.
With Rytmik Rock Edition you can
quickly and easily create the basic music building block – an audio
clip. It consists of musical notations for up to four instruments that
you may transpose, select their location in the stereo field, and modify
their volume, polyphony (with extended polyphony handling),
chorus/widening stereo effect and echo. You can also combine up to 128
audio clips in four tracks to create complex pieces of music. To help
you on your way, you’ll discover a collection of 10 pre-made
compositions at your disposal, with which you can quickly compose your
own pieces.
However, Rytmik Rock Edition is not only for playing
with sounds; in the hands of a skilful musician it can become a serious
musical instrument and a surprisingly powerful, pocket music station.
With Rytmik Rock Edition you’ll become the king of the rock party in no
time.
