The game even made surprisingly great use of the Wii Remote’s pointer functionality in the new Virus Buster mode that your little Dr Miis take on hoards of rampaging viruses. Mario but with online gameplay, allowing for one on one, virus busting-battles against friends or strangers. As the title suggests what you get here is basically Dr.

(Note that as a rule we are sticking to one game per series).įor the most part Nintendo avoided putting its biggest stars on WiiWare (and DSiWare for that fact) but Mario did get a title released on the Wii’s download service in the form of Dr. So as a sort of goodbye to Nintendo’s original download service, we’re counting down the Top 20 Best WiiWare games starting with numbers 20 through 11 today (check back next Friday for 10 -1). It was here that many of the system’s smaller and more experimental titles came into being and many of the developers that brought us these games are now responsible for big indie series’ thanks to their original success on WiiWare. But the Wii Shop Channel was also home to a whole catalogue of new games that made up the system’s WiiWare service. Many gamers (myself included) have found memories of taking our Wii consoles online, putting in our Wii Point Card numbers and downloading a whole bunch of classic Nintendo, Sega and NEC titles onto the Wii system. Or, if you'd prefer, you can wait just a bit longer for the release of the physical compilation disc, BIT.TRIP COMPLETE, which will collect all six titles for Wii later this year.This past week, Nintendo announced that after more of a decade they would be shutting down the Wii Shop Channel. The saga wrapped up with the release of FLUX earlier this year, meaning you can now download the whole thing from start to finish in the Wii Shop. The games are all retro stylish, fueled by wonderful music and absolutely addictive to play.

BIT.TRIP is a cycle of six different games - BEAT, CORE, VOID, RUNNER, FATE and FLUX - that collectively tell the tale of the intriguingly blocky hero Commander Video, his journey out into the cosmos, and his return home. Gaijin Games is a studio that has invested more time and effort into the WiiWare service than any other third-party developer, and the final product of their efforts is an enormous success. Is it cheating for me to rank six games all together in the #2 spot? If it is, I don't care - because the whole BIT.TRIP experience is just that good.

And Nintendo must have liked its individual components a great deal, too, because one of them ("Square") was given its own standalone release on DSiWare as the inventive and addictive Flametail. The challenge is in jumping back and forth between each of the three, which are all active on the same screen at the same time - it's a pretty wild concept. The title tasks you to play "Circle," directing a spinning disc around enclosed arenas "Line," controlling a spinning stick and launching flying pegs and "Square," where you direct a cursor to set fire to blocks before they scroll off the screen. Maboshi's Arcade was an earlier release from the company, arriving in the Wii Shop just under the wire in the service's first calendar year - and it was an oddly compelling mixture of three game designs in one.

WiiWare has become a wonderland for puzzle game junkies over the past few years, and Nintendo's own first-party efforts have been some of the most memorable in the genre. Released DecemRead the Review See It in Action
