The Hanabi Festival continues on Virtual Console with Castlevania: Rondo Of Blood and Milon's Secret Castle, Muscle March is released on WiiWare while this week's DSiWare releases include Photo Dojo, Libera Wing, Car Jack Streets, Flashlight and another Flips interactive book.
Castlevania: Rondo Of Blood (Virtual Console: Konami, 900 Points was originally released for PC Engine in Japan in 1993 and is highly rated among Castlevania fans. Playing as Richter, you have to save your girlfriend Annette and 12 year-old vampire huntress Maria Renard who have been kidnapped by Dracula's minions.
Milon's Secret Castle (Virtual Console: Hudson, 600 Points) is an action adventure game that was released for NES in Japan in 1986 and the US two years later. You play as Milon who doesn't have the ability to communicate. He travels through Hudson looking for people like himself. He can run, jump and shoot down bubbles in a castle but he only has one life and as a result, this is a very difficult game.
Muscle March (WiiWare: Namco Bandai, 500 Wii Points) is a bit like that Hole In The Wall show that's on BBC 1 on a Saturday night. Thieves have stolen the bodybuilder's mighty protein power and you have to give chase, copying their poses as they smash through walls.
Photo Dojo (DSiWare: Nintendo, 200 DSi Points) is the highlight of this week's DSi downloads. It's a beat 'em up which makes use of your photos. You take a photo of your face with the DSi camera for your character and then you can take other photos of you throwing punches, kicks and special moves, as well as victory and defeat poses. Then you can fight!
If Photo Dojo is the highlight of this week's DSiWare releases, Flashlight (DSiWare: Kaasa, 200 Points) is the lowlight. It promises to turn your DSi screens into a torch. What that means is that the screen goes bright when you turn it on. Brilliant. There is also a Warning light which we're told you can use when your car breaks down. The press release also tells us that the SOS light can be used the next time your plane crashes on a deserted island. Surely a joke?
Car Jack Streets
Libera Wing (DSiWare: Pixel Federation, 800 Points) is a tower defence-style strategy game. Earth Union, the controlling force in outer space, loses connection with a number of its stations and rumours begin to spread of enemy ships approaching. As the Captain of Libera Wing you have to save Earth Union from destruction combining the right strategy, usage of items and abilities of your command ship.
Car Jack Streets (DSi: Tag Games, 800 Points) is a homage to the first two Grand Theft Auto games. You owe one million dollars to the Italian mob which means you have to indulge in crimes such as stealing cars and robbing banks.
Finally there's another book in EA's Flips series. This time it's Enid Blyton's Enchanted Wood (DSiWare: EA, 500 Points). Jo, Bessie and Frannie have found an enchanted wood on their doorstep. There they find the Faraway Tree which is inhabited by magical characters Moon-Face, Silky The Fairy and Saucepan Man. Together they visit the strange lands which lie at the top of the tree and have exciting adventures.
That's all for this week. Will you be downloading any of these games?
