Breaker Deluxe (Gameloft, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone-Mild
Suggestive Themes, 800 Wii Points): Prepare for the frenzy of the
coolest block-breaker game ever. Block Breaker Deluxe is a reinvention
of the classic arcade brick-breaker game with a trendy graphical style,
fun atmosphere and an exclusive multiplayer mode. Lively characters and
amazing graphics provide distinctive settings of the jet-set nightlife,
including a cool bar, dance club, casino and more. Special bricks,
multiple bonuses, secret weapons, paddle size options and ball-speed
variations make this fascinating game even more challenging. The Block
Breaker Deluxe rage has arrived.
Cocoto Fishing Master (Neko Entertainment, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 700 Wii Points): Welcome to the adventures of Cocoto, Fishing Master. Get ready for a completely new experience on Wii. Play the role of Cocoto and travel the world to find five millennial fish. Only they can stop the magic cauldron from overflowing with lava and prevent the world from being destroyed. Thanks to Cocoto Fishing Master for Wii, fishing has never been such fun. Use the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers like a real fishing rod to catch more than 30 different fish. Discover five enchanted lakes in five different worlds from Cocoto's universe. Confront gigantic bosses to collect each fragment of the statuette that will allow you to wake the great god Geo from his slumber. Meet Cocoto's friends, sell your fish to Baggy and buy new fishing equipment from Neuro's shop.
Virtual Console
SAMURAI SHODOWN (NEOGEO, 1-2 players,
Rated T for Teen-Animated Blood, Crude Humor, Violence, 900 Wii Points):
This first entry in the extremely popular and revolutionary
fighting-game series was released in 1993. Choose from 12 swordsmen with
highly individualistic characteristics and fight furiously, ultimately
confronting the evil Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. Each character wields his
or her own specific weapon, but you must be careful not to lose it
during the heat of battle. Some of the fighters also bring an animal
companion into the fray, offering a unique aspect to the quick-paced
action. Another significant feature of the game is the anger gauge,
which indicates the level of anger felt by each of the combatants as
they suffer repeated injuries. If the anger reaches its maximum level,
the attacking ability of the character increases, leading to even more
intense confrontations. Through it all, the refined camera system
smoothly zooms in and out of the playing field, presenting the frenzy of
the battle while showcasing the lively background (watch as the referee
scores hits). Awaken the samurai spirit within and get ready for a new
kind of fight.
