DSiWare: Art Style: Zengage, 500 Nintendo Points
This simple-playing entry in the Art Style series has you sliding around colored blocks in order to match the colored beads that appear above. As you progress through over 100 stages, other challenges, such as immobile blocks, will present themselves to you. Zengage also offers "wistful graphics and mesmerizing sound".
WiiWare: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord, 1,000 Wii Points
As the daughter of the Darklord, it’s your job to keep the tower safe from the invading heroes. You’ve got a number of monsters and traps at your disposal, so place them as best you can to prevent the crystal on the top floor from being destroyed. Do this all over the world to conquer it. Additional DLC is available for this game, as well.
WiiWare: Battle Poker, 800 Wii Points
Poker meets spoons in this interesting family title. In front of you is a deck of cards; click it to flip over the first card, then scramble to add it to your hand before someone else can. After each round of this, everyone is scored based on the quality of the poker hand they’ve accumulated. Up to four players can play.
WiiWare: 5 Spots Party, 500 Wii Points
This game is a take on those "find the differences" puzzles you saw in magazines as a kid. Either by yourself or competing against others, you’ll need to find as many differences as you can between the two pictures before time runs out.
Call me crazy, but I never really thought of those "find the differences" puzzles as a family affair. Also, Darklord isn’t quite what I was expecting, but it could be interesting nonetheless.
