Two for WiiWare, one for DSiWare
Icarian! Let's Catch! Brain Training!
Nintendo is offering two new WiiWare games and one new DSiWare game today.
Let's Catch, the Yuji Naka Wii accompaniment to Let's Tap, we know a bit about. It's based on the game of catch, but twists the formula to fit various mini-games. Pictures and videos on the Let's Tap WiiWare site help explain.
Icarian: Kindred Spirits is the other WiiWare title. This follows Nyx, a lovely winged girl who is trying to find Icarus. She'll fly, aim and shoot through Ancient Greece-themed platform levels, getting by with a little help from the Gods - whose powers can be unleashed by shaking the Wiimote, which you can also enlist a friend to do for you. Find out more on the Icarian: Kindred Spirits site.
Both Let's Catch and Icarian: Kindred Spirits cost 1000 Nintendo Points, which is roughly GBP 7 or EUR 10. Points bought online and points bought on cards in shops differ slightly in price.
The DSiWare game is the catchily named A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Maths Edition. It's largely a reproduction of Brain Training's maths game, although there are new features added and some extra problems to solve. At 800 Nintendo Points (around GBP 6 / EUR 8) the price may be a little high, however.
