Wii Shop Channel Releases

The Wii Shop Channel is doing well recently; following on from last week’s addition of four titles, this week is no different. Hanabi Festival is here again which means two Virtual Console games previously unavailable in this region, and on top of all that, we got two more WiiWare titles too.

Gradius Rebirth - WiiWare

Konami brings us a new episode of its cult 2D action shooter game set in space.

Power-up capsules will boost your weapons system; including speed-ups, bombs/lasers and even multiple copies of your ship and its weapons.

Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen - Super Nintendo

Pulseman - Sega Mega Drive

21st century scientist, Doc Yoshiyama falls in love with his C-Life artificial intelligence creation and uploads himself to his computer to be with “her”. The programing in the C-Life fuses with the Doc’s DNA and creates an entirely new entity. Say hello to Pulseman; half human, half C-Life. As luck would have it, Doc Yoshiyama’s mind was twisted as he emerged back into real life and transforms into the evil Doc Waruyama. Make your way through 7 stages and stop the Galaxy Gang using abilities such as harnessing electricity as a weapon. This game contains some Japanese text in-game and is available now for 900 points.
