WiiWare - BIT.TRIP VOID

(Aksys Games, 600 Wii Points)

The third instalment in the retro-arcade BIT.TRIP saga, BIT.TRIP VOID is a fun exploration of rhythm and music through gaming. Players have complete freedom to move around the screen in any direction, interacting with the music in brand new ways. The classic game play aesthetic remains, as colour - and the absence of colour - are explored to the fullest.

Trip out in 4-player co-op and get lost in the beat with a friend. See if you can survive the onslaught of Beats and further your own BIT.TRIP score.

WiiWare - Mega Man™ 10

In this, the latest instalment of Mega Man, the year is 20XX and a suspicious outbreak of Roboenza, a Robot Flu, has broken out - spreading across the world like wildfire and bringing down robots everywhere. To make matters worse, a month after the outbreak the infected robots go on a rampage, destroying the city and holding it hostage. It’s up to Mega Man to take on this sinister threat and get to the bottom of the mysterious virus.

Players will enjoy this fun-packed game and can rediscover the Mega Man experience courtesy of classically inspired new boss characters, each with their own unique weapons and vulnerabilities.

Virtual Console - Zaxxon™

(SEGA, Virtual Console Arcade, 500 Wii Points)

Travel back to a time when everyone was wearing high-tops, leg warmers and had big hair. This was the early 80's, when video game fans were wowed by the cutting edge graphics and sound effects of the first pseudo-3D intergalactic arcade shooter – Zaxxon.

Touted as the first isometric shooter, Zaxxon featured the looks and sounds of an actual aircraft flight, allowing the player to command their ship - diving, climbing and banking just like a real fighter pilot. Today, players will fly through heavily armoured space fortresses, zapping fuel tanks, dodging walls and blowing up enemy missiles. Your mission is to take the fight to the enemy fleet and destroy the aggressor ships. Blasting pixels has never been so much fun.
