Gaming News - December 2006
Redmond, WA (December 18, 2006) - Nintendo today announced the
release of three new games for the Wii Games Channel.
From Nintendo:
Nintendo will add new games to the channel every
Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points
to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or
at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
Tennis (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Players slam a serve, fire a
blazing backhand and smash a forehand volley on their way to winning the
victory cup. Players can choose between five different levels of difficulty,
ranging from Beginner all the way up to Advanced. If players want to become
true champs, they should be ready to show off their most brilliant lobs and
most powerful smashes. Play a singles match or grab a partner for doubles, and
then choose an opponent. Players control the moves in tennis action so
intense, they'll almost believe they're at center court.
Space Harrier II (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Fantasyland
has been taken over by destructive forces, and a call for help comes from deep
in the universe. Space Harrier is quick on the scene, armed with his laser, to
defeat wave after wave of destructive forces through 12 thrilling stages, with
a dangerous boss waiting at the end of each round.
Military Madness (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points): Military
Madness is a futuristic simulation game that throws the player into the middle
of a war on the moon's surface. The rules are simple, making it easy for
newcomers to enjoy the thrills of this war-strategy game. Players can see
easy-to-understand, detailed instructions from the Title screen. Military
Madness is also turn-based, allowing players to devise their strategy before
they move. To top it off, the units players have for each stage are already
decided, allowing them to concentrate on commanding. Use the terrain and
surround enemies to claim victory. Fight through all 16 stages and thwart the
enemy's ambitions!
