Each month Club Nintendo offers gamers the chance to redeem their hard earned coins for full games available on either the Wii Shop Channel or 3DS eShop. This month we see one Wii game and two 3DS games.
"If you knew in advance that you would be stranded on a desert island, what games would you take to keep yourself entertained while you awaited rescue? Throughout this week, some of us will be answering that very question. Instead of a set number of games, each team member has been given 5000 Wii Points to spend on any combination of titles from the Wii Shop Channel, as well as the chance to nominate one game they just couldn't quite fit into their budget. What games will we choose to help pass the days, weeks and months isolated from civilization? Read on to find out!" -- Wiiloveit.com
Gaming Target examines Nintendo's Art Style series, the latest attempt at bringing experimental and avant-garde game design to the downloadable realm. From the article:
"Nintendo is a company not above resting on its laurels. As games continue to rise in cost, new and unproven intellectual properties are the first games to get dropped. So it should come as no surprise that the company making the most profit is content to use its established brands for all they are worth in the console space. The relatively new downloadable game realm, on the other hand, is slightly different. Familiar faces still do well but with lower consequences for failure, even a company as conservative as Nintendo can afford to take some chances. Enter their newest series: Art Style, cheap experimental puzzles games for your internet-enabled Nintendo systems."
PALGN writes: "Welcome to PALGN's WiiWare Review Round-Up. At the start of every month, this article will be dedicated to reviewing the WiiWare titles that have been released during the past month on the Wii Shop Channel, with our verdict as to whether or not they are worth downloading. We realise we have fallen behind from when we originally launched this feature, but with a little reshuffling of responsibilities between staff members, we're confident it will be maintained."
Not the best offering this month.
I downloaded the Picross, and I love it. I always wanted to try it, but for one reason or another it never happened. So now was the time for me to try it. It's very addicting and you can easily get caught in its pace. I gambled 100 points on it, and I think it's worth it so far.
