530 Eco Shooter on WiiWare today

By Robert Purchese Published 29 January, 2010

It's Duck Hunt with morals.

There's an exciting planet-friendly WiiWare game on offer today called 530 Eco Shooter.

Exciting because Metroid developer Intelligent System made it. Pay 1000 Wii Points (£7/€10) and step into the shoes of Mack, a recycling plant worker. He's trying to prevent evil Cannoid creatures from using the world's can supply to destroy our planet. On his own he's useless, but armed with his recycling cannon he makes a difference.

It's basically Duck Hunt but with cans. The official 530 Eco Shooter website can tell you more.

Over on DSiWare, meanwhile, is Gameloft's action RPG Legends of Exidia. Swords: check, sorcery: check, levels: check, loot: check - it's all in there. Legends of Exidia costs 800 DSi Points (£7.20/€8).

Also on DSiWare are two more Electroplankton creatures to hit and make music on. They are Luminarrow and Sun-Animalcule, and they cost 200 DSi Points (£1.80/€2) each.

On Virtual Console there's Street Fighter Alpha 2. a SNES game, this mixed combos and counters into the Street Fighter pot. Three new characters also showed up: Rolento, Sakura and Gen. Street Fighter Alpha 2 costs 800 Wii Points (£5.60/€8).

    SF Alpha 2 on the same day as Tatsunoko vs Capcom comes out? Coincidence?

    Legends of Exidia is apparently the cellphone game "Might & Magic 2" renamed (don't ask me if that's related to the PC series though).

    And where the hell is Dark Void Zero? That needs to come out soon if it's supposed to promote Dark Void. I hope NoE isn't pushing it back because they've got to cram Electroplankton into the release list.

    Oooh a recycling themed game! I love games involving my favourite fantasy topic, global warming.

    530 Eco Shooter sounded lame from the description, but actually from the videos it looks pretty cool! There's even a bit of a "Sin & Punishment Lite" feel about it, and I love the Advance Wars style of some of the music.

    Plus it really doesn't pay to doubt Intelligent Systems.

    I might actually check this out.
