Silent Hill dev: On-rail shooters died with Dreamcast

This week's Nintendo downloads

Friday 22-Jan-2010 10:11 AM Two more Electroplankton games up

Earlier this week we revealed that two more Electroplankton games and Max And The Magic Marker would be available for download this week and they've been joined by Fast Draw Showdown for WiiWare. There are no Virtual Console downloads this week.

Here's your lot:

Fast Draw: Showdown (WiiWare, Digital Leisure: 500 Wii Points) was originally released in the arcades in 1994. Like the original, this new WiiWare version has you getting involved in Wild West style duels. You hold your gun (or rather Remote) by your side and attempt to draw quicker then your foe, shooting him down before he blasts you.

Max And The Magic Marker (WiiWare, Press Play: 1,000 Wii Points) is a puzzling platformer which lets you draw objects in order to pass challenges. When Max draws a purple monster with his marker, it comes to life, leaps off the paper and starts messing up Max's other drawings. So playing as Max you have to chase him through 15 levels, drawing stairs, seesaws, balloons, surfboards and more to defeat enemies, overcome obstacles and solve puzzles. You can play the game either in single player or two player mode, with one controlling Max and the other the magic marker.

Electroplankton: Nanocarp (DSiWare, Nintendo: 200 Points) is another stage from Toshio Iwai's DS musical title. This time you have to manipylate the Nanocarp to make sounds. They have very sensitive hearing and react to sounds like clapping or whistling. They swim in formations of 16 and emit sounds when they sense ripples on the water's surface. You can use the stylus to create ripples and waves and the Nanocarp's pitch will change depending on their location on the water.

Electroplankton: Trapy (Nintendo, 200 DSi Points) sees the Trapy emitting sounds as they follow lines that are traced along the water with your stylus. Each of the six types of Trapy produce different tones depending on the direction they swim; they produce low pitch sounds when they swim to the right and high pitch sounds when they swim to the left.
