WiiWare
BIT.TRIP
BEAT
– Developed by Gaijin
Games and published by Aksys Games:
BIT.TRIP BEAT
is what you get when you mix classic video gaming with modern gaming
sensibilities. What may seem like a simple “paddle” game turns
into a psychedelic trip down memory lane which has you hitting
“beats” in rhythm to Chiptune style music. While the game can be
difficult, if you crank up the tunes and get in the zone, you’ll
have a great time. Performing perfectly isn’t required to
experience all the game’s content, but the extra challenge will
keep score-hunters coming back in search of each level’s elusive
“PERFECT” score.
Eduardo
the Samurai Toaster – Developed and published by Semnat Studios
LLC: Fight your way through 13 diverse locations on your own or with
up to three friends in this frenetic and stylish side-scrolling
action game. Play as Eduardo and his fellow toaster buddies as you
fire an assortment of pastries at all kinds of dastardly food
products. Hop onto laser-mounted scooters and fly across the screen
in rocket packs, and learn to cooperate with your teammates or simply
annoy each other in an awesomely fun way by throwing each other
around the screen. The choice is up to you.
Night
Game – Developed and published by Nicalis: Exclusively for
WiiWare, Night Game (working title) is part action game and part
puzzler. It invites players into a beautifully atmospheric world,
where they must use real physics to maneuver a mysterious, glowing
sphere through vastly different locales. Night Game pushes the
boundaries of design with its unique art style, and professionally
produced music score. This title is a 2009 Independent Games Festival
Seumas McNally Award nominee and from the same developers responsible
for
Cave Story on Wii.
Swords
& Soldiers
– Developed
and published by Ronimo Games:
Swords & Soldiers is a
side-scrolling real-time strategy game, in which three distinct
factions battle for the powers of the gods. The goal is to destroy
the enemies’ castle on the other end of the level, while protecting
your own. This can be done by training powerful units or casting
devastating spells. The game will feature a single-player campaign
and a competitive split-screen multiplayer mode as well as several
other game modes.
