Spring flowers aren't the only new arrivals gamers might want to savor as May gets underway. The latest downloadable games for the Wii and Nintendo DSi systems include a new demo version of BIT.TRIP RUNNER that invites players to discover the fast-paced, retro-flavored platformer and the Virtual Console service sees the addition of the SNES title Rival Turf!. DSiWare also gets a few new titles inlcuding Anonymous Notes Chapter 2 - From The Abyss, which plunges hand-held gamers deep in the heart of a rich dungeon-based adventure.
With the inclusion of the original game and a set of new mechanics that slot in naturally, Bit.Trip Rerunner is a stellar example of a remake.
Bit Cultures writer Conner plays through his Steam library in alphabetical order, writes a brief summary of his experience on each game, and then gives them his own personal rating. Here's week 9 of Steam A to Z!
It won't wow anyone, but Rival Turf is a competent brawler perfect for beginners.
