Wii Sam and Max to use Miis? *UPDATE*Posted by Hank Peters in WiiWare, Nintendo Wii |
 |
Because I have a terrible computer that can hardly run this word editor, I have been very excited about Sam and Max Season One coming over to the Wii. Sure, it might have just been a quick and dirty port, but as long as Telltale hasn't tarnished the source material, I could care less. However, while I was taking a quick look at the Amazon page for Sam and Max, something caught my eye.

Pirates: The Key of Dreams video review.
Although we're not that interested in the two virtual console releases this week, we're actually quite intrigued by Pirates: The Key of Dreams. It's visuals look nice and it appears it is full of some nice mindless shooting fun. Take a look at the video review above to see if it strikes ye pirate fancy.
"Pirates: The Key of Dreams - WiiWare - 1,000 Wii Points
Pirates: The Key of Dreams is a frantic nautical shoot-’em-up. Sail your way across the Caribbean, cannons blazing, looting booty, running blockades and ultimately battling Blackbeard himself. The player takes control of a navy captain sent deep undercover as a ruthless pirate in order to seek out and retrieve the Key of Dreams, a valuable and dangerous cursed artifact. Rescue castaways to bolster your ship’s crew, gaining performance increases to your navigation, weaponry, structural integrity and cartography skills. Collect increasingly powerful weaponry including rockets, mines, chain shot, saw blades and a flamethrower to hurl destruction into the path of your enemies. Play against three of your scurvy friends or A.I. opponents in pitched multiplayer battles over 35 levels, set in seven themed environments. Choose from different ship types that reflect your play style. Play in turbo mode if you’re pirate enough.
Super Fantasy Zone - Genesis - 1992 - 900 Wii Points
The last entry in the Fantasy Zone series, this side-scrolling shooter puts you in the shoes of main character Opa-Opa, who is on a mission to avenge the death of his father. To do so, you’ll have to battle a variety of Enemy Generators to clear out the various levels and finish off the Menon Guardian at the end of the level. Eliminating your enemies will let you rack up some gold, which you can use to buy even better weapons, upgrades and other equipment. Spend your gold wisely, as each different boss you need to defeat presents a unique challenge. [Published by SunSoft]

In the year 2025, a war breaks out between humans and a hostile alien race, and 16-year-old Lucia and the rest of the starfighter pilots in the Earth Federation must join the battle. When Lucia’s father is kidnapped by the aliens, she decides to take action and hijacks a brand new prototype starfighter, the Gley Lancer, in order to try to save him. In this side-scrolling shooter, step into the cockpit of the Gley Lancer as Lucia, rescue your father and destroy the evil aliens that are bent on destroying the human race. [Published by Masaya]"
