NintendoWare Weekly: Jam City Rollergirls, 1942, Black Tiger
Today's Wii Shop update brings the official sports game of a sport without much official game representation: roller derby. Jam City Rollergirls carries the Women's Flat Track Derby Association license, so if you happen to follow the sport, you'll recognize the teams and players. Also available: two more Virtual Console Arcade games by Capcom, which is dangerously close to making us forget how moribund the Virtual Console has become. DSiWare is home to the first non-PSN release from MonkeyPaw Games, and it's ... a poker game! That company is defying expectations left and right.%Gallery-114973%
WiiWare demos return this week in Europe
One of the most frustrating things about the WiiWare service -- other than The Incredible Maze -- is that there aren't playable demos. Even more frustrating is that Nintendo did offer a series of demos last year, but made it a limited-time initiative for no good reason, going so far as to remove the few demos that were available. Nintendo of Europe announced that the demo program is returning this Friday, November 5. Encouragingly, it's referred to as an "ongoing" demo program, suggesting that the whole thing won't disappear in a month. However, the individual demos will be rotated out regularly, which is back to being a bit frustrating. The latest demos will be listed here after the program starts up. The first set of demos includes Furry Legends, Jett Rocket, ThruSpace, and Zombie Panic in Wonderland. We're checking with Nintendo of America about the prospect of a similar program here.
NintendoWare Weekly: Furry Legends, Scrabble Tools
Nintendo's perfect no-Virtual Console streak continues with no retro re-releases announced for July. As usual, there are plenty of choices on WiiWare and DSiWare, including Gamelion's Furry Legends, which is an interesting-looking side-scroller ... despite the name. DSiWare this week is mostly populated by insane minigames, time-management games, and sudoku -- the unique mix of not-that-interesting stuff that seems to characterize the service every week. Most interesting? A game designed to make you better at Scrabble. %Gallery-97746%
Furry Legends also rolling onto DSiWare
Gamelion has announced that its upcoming Furry Legends will no longer be confined to WiiWare, with Furry Legends: Beginnings also headed to DSiWare. The game will serve as a prequel to Furry Legends and is set to feature hand-drawn graphics, plenty of puzzles, new enemies and, well, little rolling balls of fur.It certainly looks cute, but we still say the title is a little misleading.
Furry Legends isn't what you think it is
click to increase magni-FUR-cation No, no it's okay. This post is totally safe for work, we promise. Despite what the title may imply, Gamelion's upcoming WiiWare game, Furry Legends, is perfectly tame. It's a puzzle platformer starring a nondescript ball of green fuzz, that's all. Now, take a deep breath and relax. You can check out some screens in the gallery below and find a trailer after the break.Also, don't worry, it's just a trailer for this game, not some other furry video. We promise.[Via N-Europe]%Gallery-49667%
