WiiWare: High Voltage Hot Rod Show, 1,000 Wii Points
This racing title, developed by the creators of the upcoming shooter The Conduit, has you outracing the competition by building Boost. You’ll fill your Boost Meter by hitting ramps, performing tricks, or power sliding, and then using it to take off ahead of the pack. In addition to four-player multiplayer (or eight, if computers are involved), this title lets you upload your best times to an online leaderboard.
WiiWare: Family Glide Hockey, 500 Wii Points
Off the heels of Family Table Tennis, Aksys continues on with Family Glide Hockey. As expected, you’ll be playing glide hockey (or table hockey, as it is also known) in a variety of environments in either single-player or versus mode, which supports up to four players. There is also a small collection of mini-games included, those being Brawl, Drill and Tracer.
Genesis: MUSHA, 800 Wii Points
Dire 51, a futuristic Intellicomputer, has gone HAL on humanity with an impressive offensive force, and it’s up to Terri to stop it, piloting her MUSHA combat armor. The press release boasts "six types of formation fire" along with some special weapons with larger destructive power, which you’ll need as you fight through the game’s seven levels.
MUSHA looks like a pretty fun and difficult schmup, though Family Glide Hockey could easily be rather lackluster. Hot Rod Show, however, is a High Voltage title, which is extremely intriguing and should be looked into. Still waiting for Darius Twin…
