WiiWare
Magnetica
Twist (Nintendo, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone-Comic Mischief,
1,000 Wii Points): The classic puzzle game Magnetica is now available on
WiiWare , putting its own unique "twist" on the puzzle-game experience.
You're surrounded by marbles, marching slowly but surely down a track.
Use a launcher (piloted by a Mii of your choice) to shoot marbles with
matching colors and wipe them out before they reach the end of the
track. Control couldn't be simpler, as all you need to do is twist the
Wii Remote controller to aim and press the A button to shoot. And the
game play remains as addictive and deep as you've come to expect in
Nintendo's puzzle games, with five varied play modes, advanced mechanics
such as the ability to lob marbles, and a never-ending supply of combos.
This definitely isn't your typical game of marbles.
Virtual Console
FATAL
FURY 2 (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen-Animated Blood,
Violence, 900 Wii Points): Released in 1992 by SNK, FATAL FURY 2 is the
second installment in the renowned fighting-game series. In addition to
Terry, Andy and Joe, who appeared in the original game, another five
distinctive fighters gather from around the world to compete for the
championship title. Also newly added are stage-specific hazards and the
ability to perform desperation attacks when a character's strength is
low. These particularly deadly techniques create the chance for a
come-from-behind victory achieved with a single strike. Moreover, the
innovative two-line battle, which proved popular in the previous
version, also has been radically enhanced. Pressing the weak-attack and
strong-attack buttons simultaneously enables players to move their
fighters to another line themselves, or to launch an attack that pushes
opponents back to another line. This game mechanic, unique to this title
in the series, allows the player to take advantage of the depth of the
screen and create even more exciting bouts. Can you prove yourself the
king of fighters again?
