Nintendo Download Update: Mighty week
No Mario Kart, but still a ton games this week, including Mighty Flip Champs (finally) and that new Q-Games title
We were all preparing a story about the Reflect Missile game just revealed on the Classification Board website last night and it goes and get released. This week’s releases see 4 WiiWare games make the cut and 4 DSi Ware games. Sadly, we know basically nothing about most of the games, but here goes.
Two high profile DSi games this week, one of which we hadn’t even heard of until yesterday when it was revealed through the Classication Board website. From the developers of the Pixel Junk games (and Starfox Command) comes Reflect Missile. We’d tell you more about it, but we can’t, since as the game was only just released we’re yet to try it. It’s from Q Games, though, so it can’t be that bad.
The other title is Mighty Flip Champs for 800 points which has finally arrived after all this time (6 months). The US media seemed to love it and WayForward doesn’t make a misstep very often—just be thankful we got the puzzler.
You know what sucks about WiiWare? No one lets you know their games are actually about! There are four games this week, and while Ubisoft was kind enough to let us know about Rabbids Lab is—and Solatiarie is pretty obvious—we have no idea about the other two, Copter Crisis and Dragon Master Spell Caster, are. All of them are a mere 500 points, though, so it might be worth a punt. Unfortunately, there is no demos for any of the titles.
Just the one Virtual Console game this week, and it’s a Megadrive title. Technically it’s even an import, but as you can see, no Hanabi Festival. Developed originally by Activision, Shanghai II: Dragon’s Eye is a tile matching game which has you removing Mahjong tiles from a set pattern; you remove two tiles each time. There is also a layout editor to create your own patterns and the two player mode rounds out the package.
