December Wii-kly update throws in Extras for Wii Owners and their Friends
Once again, here is the Wii-kly update for all you Wii owners. Only thing is that this time, you will be getting a bunch of new features besides the usual trio of games via the Wii Shop Channel. This week sees the first Pokémon game for the Virtual Console called Pokémon Snap; Ghosts’n Goblins and BASEBALL STARS 2.
Nintendo has also gotten all jolly and festive now that the holiday season has dawned upon everyone. Starting this week, you will be able to use a new Gifting features that allows Wii Shop Channel users to send other Wii owners games. The best part is that you will be notified if you friend already has the game that you are trying to send them.
The original Nintendo 64 hit game Pokémon Snap is now back for Wii owners this time. The game includes a special Wii bonus which allows players to post pictures they take in the game to their Wii Message Board. They can also send these pictures to friends with whom they have traded Friend Codes.
Travel to Pokémon Island and meet Professor Oak to begin a safari, taking the best possible photographs of 63 different Pokémon as they exist in the wild, undisturbed by humans. This is not as easy as it sounds—the island has many types of climates and environments to explore, along with secret activities and hidden passages to discover. Plus, some of the Pokémon can be a little shy and won’t pose for the camera unless you tease them with special items. After you’re done, submit one picture of each Pokémon to Professor Oak, and he’ll judge it based on size, pose, technique and number of Pokémon captured.
Ghosts’n Goblins presents quite a challenge to players brave enough to take on the role of Arthur and delve into the realm of demons and monsters to rescue the kidnapped princess. Choose your weapons wisely and take advantage of their strengths to deal with the situation at hand. Pass through the six gates that stand between you and Astaroth, and teach him a lesson in chivalry he’ll never forget.
Pick one of six unique teams from cities around the world, then get ready for nine innings of excitement, whether you’re taking on the computer in a 15-game tournament or squaring off against a friend. There are two modes of game play, so even the most inexperienced player can compete at the major-league level (with a little computer-aided fielding). Watch as the game develops through split-screen views and close-up shots worthy of any highlight film, and see if you can catch the numerous over-the-top animations of the large and detailed player models.
