DSiWare: Dark Void Zero, 500 Nintendo Points

To commemorate finally launching Dark Void after nearly 20 years of development, Capcom has released this note of what the game was originally supposed to be like.

As in the WiiWare version, you’ll control a level at two different points in time as you make your way through this action platformer puzzler.

This game lets you play with up to three dogs, chosen from Labradors, Chow Chows and Beagles. You’ll feed them, wash them, walk them and play with them. You can even train them for competitions and teach them tricks.

WiiWare: Muscle March, 500 Nintendo Points

The almighty protein powder has been taken by thieves, so you’ll have to catch them, but you need to look manly at the same time! As you progress from man-shaped hole to man-shaped hole, you’ll have to flex and position your muscles so you line up with the hole.  Play by yourself or with friends, or try out Endless Mode.

WiiWare: The Amazing Brain Train!, 600 Nintendo Points

The brain train is off on an adventure! Hop aboard and enjoy a number of brainteasers to go farther and farther on your journey.

Genesis: Shadow Dancer: The Secret Of Shinobi, 800 Nintendo Points

This Genesis title is a follow-up to the original Shinobi on arcade. As you battle the Neo Zeed corporation, you can use Yamoto, your ninja attack dog, to help you progress and free New York City.

I am intrigued by Dark Void Zero; I may have to purchase it, if it’s only $5. It looks like fun.
