Friday 19-Jun-2009 10:10 AM Two for WiiWare, one for DSiWare. No classics this time, retro-heads Things are a little slow in the Nintendo downloads department at the moment, as this week's update sees three titles hit the WiiWare and DSiWare stores. No Virtual Console treats this week.
Here's the official lowdown:
WiiWARE - ICARIAN: KINDRED SPIRITS (OVER THE TOP GAMES, 1,000 Wii Points): Experience Icarian: Kindred Spirits, the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl that must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend Icarus.
Fly over the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras. You will need the help of Zeus and other benevolent Gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds.
With your own wrist movements and pointing to the game screen, you will be able to achieve these and many other feats in this new and enjoyable Wii platform game. Fly, aim and shoot using your Wii Remote. You can play with a friend to maximize your abilities - while one controls Nyx, the other can control the powers from the Gods!
WiiWARE - LET'S CATCH (SEGA, 1,000 Wii Points): Play catch with friends in multi-player party games and compete for high scores using your Mii and other characters!
Choose from six different single and multi-player modes such as Speed Catch, which tests your ability to catch a fast ball, and Bomb Catch, an elimination party game for up to four players.
Select from a variety of characters or use your Mii to play other favourite catch games. Unlock special features when you own both Let's TAP and Let's CATCH!
NINTENDO DSiWARE - A LITTLE BIT OF... DR KAWASHIMA'S BRAIN TRAINING: MATHS EDITION (NINTENDO, 800 DSi Points): Dr Kawashima brings his popular brain exercise software to Nintendo DSi, with fun, new features and the return of many Brain Training favourites!
A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Maths Edition features mathematical challenges and other fun exercises that you can use regularly to keep your brain sharp in just a few minutes a day.
As well as training with maths-oriented exercises, you can also relax with a game of Germ Buster. Or try the new Themes Mode, where you can practise your acting and drawing skills using the Nintendo DSi Camera, Touch Screen and microphone!
