WiiWare – ToribashTM
(Nabi Studios , 1,000 Wii Points)
Toribash is the online fighting game where you make all the moves. Use
precision motion control to create any move you want – the only limit
is your imagination. Manipulate your fighter’s joints for maximum
impact and take out your opponents with precise hits. Boost your joints
for that added speed and strength to hit harder, then grab your
opponents and slam them to the ground.
Fight online and challenge players around the world over Nintendo Wi-Fi
Connection.
Want to make your own fight movies? Just jump into the replay editor.
You can enter replays at any point in time and review your fight to
catch that mind-blowing move you missed. And when you are done, share
it with your buddies through WiiConnect24.
WiiWare – ZenquariaTM:
Virtual Aquarium
(Nintendo, 600 Wii Points)
Zenquaria turns your TV into a living aquarium. Simply relax by
watching the fish, discover fish-keeping facts using the Encyclopaedia,
or even swim with the fish using your Mii.
Spruce up your aquarium with around 40 different fish and a variety of
ornaments, wallpapers and plant life. Visit every day and see your
aquarium change - your fish will grow and new fish may be born. Life
continues in your aquariums even while the Wii console is switched off.
View your aquarium from a variety of camera angles to get a good look
at your fish (including a fish’s eye view) and select a fish to view
facts such as its scientific name and habitat. Finally, dive in with
your Mii to feed the fish, or hunt for trivia icons to discover
fish-related facts.
Virtual Console – Shadow of the NinjaTM
(Natsume Inc., NES, 600 Wii Points)
Get ready for furious side-scrolling, platforming ninja action. The mad
emperor Garuda holds the city trapped in his diabolical claws. Only two
brave ninja warriors dare to stand against him. They move as silently
as shadows in the snow, swift and graceful as the wind, and strike with
the explosive fury of razor-clawed tigers.
Playing solo or co-op with a friend, you'll slice, bomb, and shuriken
your way through Garuda's army of vicious soldiers, agile ninjas, and
monstrous robots. Use your ninja skills to hang from moving platforms,
leap over lethal pitfalls, and dodge diabolical traps. Collect deadly
powerups to give yourself an edge against the overwhelming odds that
face you...if you can hold on to them. It'll take your entire
platforming prowess to navigate the game's thirteen intense levels and
bring some old-fashioned ninja justice to Garuda!
