Whether you remembered to set your clocks back for daylight saving
time or spent Sunday wondering why everybody else was running an hour
behind, Nintendo is ready to kick off the week with new releases that
can be enjoyed no matter what time it is. Additions to the WiiWare™
service include Gods vs Humans, a strategy game that challenges you to wield divine powers, and Mix Superstar,
which invites you to craft your own pop-music masterpieces. You'll also
find new downloadable titles for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service that let
you experience pinball-themed adventures or vie for giant jackpots in
Las Vegas.

Description: Embody
major gods from the fabulous mythologies of Scandinavia, Egypt, Rome
and Japan. As a god, you have enough power to rule the humans – all but
the cheeky ones! Some of them want to enter your domain, and they've
decided to build a tower to confront you. Use your divine powers to
bring them down and show them who's boss. Be careful not to hurt them,
though – you need people to believe in you. There are 16 playable gods
with distinctive powers, four hysterical bosses to defeat, 16 additional
challenges for experienced players, 60 levels for the solo campaign and
a special split-screen two-player mode.

on your Wii™ system. There are more than 1,000 Dance, Hip Hop and
Techno loops included across multiple instruments, including Drum, Bass,
Synth, Guitar and voice tracks. Once you've created your next hit, it's
time to show it off. Mix Superstar lets you export your music
creations and load them onto your computer so you can take them on the
go. You can also use the WiiConnect24™ system to send songs to your Wii
Friends and even collaborate on mixes. The game includes full support
for both the Logitech USB Microphone and Wii Speak™ accessory (each sold
separately) so you can lay down your own vocals. The Nintendo® Wi-Fi
