Plenty of puzzles, and a bit of music, ring in the new year.
This week’s free WiiWare demo is Robox.
DSiWare: Alt-Play: Jason Rohrer Anthology, 200 Nintendo Points
The new Alt-Play series celebrates the work of noted indie game developers, starting with Jason Rohrer. This collection includes his games Passage, Gravitation and Between, games that purportedly blur the line between video games and visual art.
DSiWare: Word Searcher 2, 500 Nintendo Points
Time for more word search! This new collection includes 100 themed puzzles, which you can replay as many times as you want as the words are scrambled every time.
DSiWare: Music On: Drums, 500 Nintendo Points
The Music On series lets you play drums for the first time. Combine 160 different sounds into tracks and compose up to 64 songs; you can adjust volume and panning as you go, and even lay music down in real-time like a DJ.
WiiWare: Sneezies, 500 Nintendo Points
These Sneezies have a case of the sniffles. Drop sneezing powder on the field and watch Sneezies sneeze themselves continuously out of their bubbles. Play through 45 Classic Mode levels or 15 Challenge Mode levels, then see how your high scores compare on the online leaderboards.
WiiWare: Ghost Mania, 500 Nintendo Points
Becky and Tim, ghost guardians, fell asleep on the job and let the ghosts escape, and now they’ve got to capture them all. Stack up ghosts and blocks according to color in Puzzle Mode or Arcade Mode, or take on a friend in multiplayer.
Well, we’re at the post-Christmas slowdown, unfortunately. We can expect fewer downloadables for a little while.
