WiiWare: Euro Shopping Channel Update - 'Pirates: Key Of Dreams' and 'SPOGS Racing'

pirateskeyeuro.jpgIt's WiiWare week this week for Europe, and we get some.. interesting candidates.

For one, Europe is the first to get 'Pirates: Key Of Dreams' for 1,000 Wii Points. An isometric game where you pilot your Pirate Ship around, blasting other enemies about! You also get 'SPOGS Racing'... probably best not to talk about it. Australia doesn't get it though, so they're safe!

Melbourne, Australia, 18 July, 2008 – One new WiiWare game is now available for download on Wii.

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 AI opponents in pitched multiplayer battles over 35 levels, in seven themed environments. Choose from different ship types that reflect your play style. Play in turbo mode if you're Pirate enough!
