So it's Thanksgiving. I guess we're supposed to be thankful that the Virtual Console and WiiWare are around, because it's otherwise been a slow fall for the Wii. Sure, there have been some great games on the Wii like de Blob and Wario Land: Shake It!, but it's been a slew of WiiWare titles and Virtual Console surprises that have probably kept people interested in the Wii. And thankfully, that continues this week, as we have two WiiWare titles and another great retro game on the Virtual Console.
This week's games are:
WiiWare
Boingz (RealArcade, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): Stretch, flex and flick your way to freedom. A truly mind-bending experience, Boingz introduces you to cute, colorful, stretchable friends lost in an alien world, searching for the magical gates that will take them home. Boingz springs to life with 30 levels of puzzle-platforming fun. The Boingz are bendy little critters that can be pulled, stretched and flicked from place to place like rubber bands. It's a team effort, as all the Boingz will have to work together to unwind the game's puzzles. What's more, many of the Boingz have fallen into a deep slumber, and you'll have to lead the stronger Boingz to find and wake up their sleepy friends. Explore surreal landscapes, sail through the air like a trapeze artist, walk along the seafloor, and collect the Twinklies to power up your elastic-powered flights.
Sudoku Challenge! (Digital Leisure Inc., 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Now's your chance to play the brain-busting puzzle game taking the world by storm.
