Summer’s here and the Nintendo DSi Shop and Wii Shop Channel have got a selection of scorchers on offer this week, available today, Friday 6th August. Whether you’re defending sandcastles from crafty crabs on a Sandy Beach, or flaunting your fighting technique in Aero the Acrobat 2, WiiWare and Virtual Console have got plenty to keep you occupied.
Siliconera: ''Club Nintendo USA has revealed four new digital rewards that will be available throughout the month of June.''
Picking out retro re-releases to spend modern cash on through the Virtual Console is made much easier when the game you're thinking of buying calls out from the Wii Shop with a unique voice and individual appeal – Aero the Acrobat did that with its signature mix of a cartwheeling character and the circus setting that matched his antics, but Aero the Acrobat 2 only offers half of that successful equation.
It's still a fine game, and a decent platformer. Not the worst eight bucks you could spend on the service by far. But even with its refinements in control, graphics and the occasional cup game, IGN still prefers the original.
Metro writes: "We've been desperate to give an Advance Wars game 10/10 for years, but there hasn't been a new one since 2008's not-quite-perfect Dark Conflict. Ever since developer Intelligent Systems seems to have been mostly stuck making downloadable games for the Wii and DSi."
cool
Meh
Somewhere between the first two guys.
