Two WiiWare Games and One Virtual Console Game Added to Wii Shop Channel
Auspicious debuts and the return of a classic franchise top the list of
new additions to the Wii Shop Channel this week. Art Style: ORBIENT is
the first in a new game series from Nintendo, combining deep game play
with atmospheric flair and simple, elegant controls that anyone can pick
up and enjoy. With two more Art Style titles scheduled for release in
October, this is your chance to be the first to enjoy this truly
remarkable gaming experience.
Bomberman makes his WiiWare debut in
Bomberman Blast, taking the frenzied multiplayer action the series is
known for online. Or if you just feel like saving the galaxy again, take
on the Machine in Super Turrican 2.
Nintendo adds new and classic
games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii
owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to
download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel
or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
WiiWare
Art
Style: ORBIENT (Nintendo, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii
Points): Explore the universe like never before in Art Style: ORBIENT.
Take control of gravity and anti-gravity and carefully maneuver your
small star through 50 stages set in multiple galaxies. Collide with
other stars to absorb them and make your own star expand in size, or
capture the stars in your orbit and have them become your satellites.
Space isn't empty, though, and you'll have to avoid bumping into
obstacles or getting pulled into a black hole. If you feel like relaxing
while still being challenged, this is the game for you. Its combination
of simple controls, atmospheric sound and unique environment make for an
experience unlike any other.
Bomberman
Blast (Hudson Entertainment, 1-8 players, Rated E for Everyone—Mild
Cartoon Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): A brand new addition to the
Bomberman series is available on WiiWare. Up to eight players can battle
online simultaneously via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Simple controls
make this a great game for family and friends to enjoy anytime. You can
trigger new items by shaking the Wii Remote controller, creating new
levels of Bomberman excitement. You can even take the intensity up
another notch by adding your own Mii caricatures to the mix. Battle
results can be recorded on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Ranking, so you
can see how you stack up against others around the globe. This title
will prove to be a blast for everyone--from those who've never touched a
Bomberman game to the Bomberman masters.
Virtual Console
Super
Turrican 2 (Super NES, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone—Violence, 800

your duty to destroy the Machine's forces that have devastated the
galaxy. Fight through countless hordes of enemies using everything at
your disposal. Use weapons and power-ups to fight back the tide of
oncoming enemies. Use special abilities like the Energy Wheel and
Cyberfist to find secret areas and score extra lives. When your lives
and continues are gone, the mission ends. You are the galaxy's last
hope. Are you up to the challenge?
