Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
Have you ever wanted to be a king? Maybe the king of Los Angeles? The new Nintendo DSiWare™ game Gangstar 2: Kings of L.A. gives you a shot at becoming Southern California royalty. Over on the Virtual Console™ service, old-school gamers will, like, totally love the chance to become king of the ’80s with the gnarly original arcade version of Zaxxon™ available for download.
Meanwhile, Nintendo’s WarioWare™: D.I.Y. “Big Name Games” series continues with a new downloadable microgame created by top game designer Alex Neuse of Gaijin Games. Neuse is the designer behind the BIT.TRIP series, which is available exclusively on the WiiWare™ service. He believes meaningful experiences can be delivered through a minimalistic design approach. In his WarioWare: D.I.Y. game, Fire Bad!, you’ll get a hint at CommanderVideo’s next adventure. New “Big Name Games” will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points™ to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare service. Visit the Nintendo Channel on your Wii system today to learn more about these games and to see a video of Neuse discussing Fire Bad!
