Prepare yourself for one of the most intense shoot ‘em ups to hit Nintendo DSiWare. Your mission is simple: get the highest score possible, across eight phases of fierce vertical-scrolling action.
Choose from two powerful craft: Red Orion and Blue Nova, tailored for novice or experienced players. Both ships have standard blasters for unlimited fire, as well as special weapons unique to each craft. Special weapons drain your energy gauge, though, so think before you fire!

2K Games Announces Sid Meier’s Pirates! Setting Sail for Wii System This Autumn
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Windsor, UK – May 04, 2010 – 2K Games announced today that Sid Meier’s Pirates!™, the classic swashbuckling high-seas adventure, will set sail this Autumn for Wii. Originally developed by Firaxis Games, the Wii version is being developed by 2K China and allows would-be buccaneers to serve as captain as they raid and plunder the 17th century Caribbean, successfully navigate pirate ship battles, triumphantly dispatch opponents in clanging sword fights and woo fair maidens with the streamlined controls of the Wii Remote™ in a quest to save their family from the evil Marquis de la Montalban.
“We are big fans of the Wii and think Pirates! is the perfect game to bring to that platform,” said Sid Meier, director of creative development at Firaxis Games, and designer of the Sid Meier’s Pirates! series. “We’re sure Wii fans will enjoy the timeless adventure of being a pirate captain on the high seas as much as all of our other fans have!”

RELENTLESS ARCADE ACTION SHOOT EM UP COMING TO Wii THIS WEEK
The European launch of Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies from Japanese developer Treasure promises hours of compelling quick fire action power play!
4th May 2010 –Sin and Punishment originally released in Japan in 2000 for the Nintendo 64 was heralded with critical acclaim, praised for its relentless action and forged a great legacy behind it. European players were given a treat when this cult game was made available to download through Virtual Console on Wii years later as part of the Hanabi Festival – a special event which offers European players the opportunity to download classic games which have previously never been released in Europe. Since then anticipation has been building amongst fans of the series for the next instalment. This week Wii owners can expect explosive, exhilarating run-and-gun action as Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies launches across Europe on 7th May 2010.
A rapid-fire arcade action game following the tradition of Japanese developer, Treasure, Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies pits two characters, Isa Jo (male) and Kachi (Female) against seemingly endless hordes of attacks by violent creatures from the dimension – fourth earth.
