WiiWare: NA WiiWare Update - Art Style: Rotohex and Strong Bad: Episode 3

Art Style: ROTOHEX

Wii Points: 600 Wii Points
Game Type: Puzzle
Control Type: Wii Remote
Players: 1-2
Publisher: Nintendo

"Use colored triangular panels to create a vibrant mosaic of stained glass in Art Style: ROTOHEX. As triangles fall from the top of the screen, rotate them to group six panels of the same color and create a matching hexagon, or HEX. Once the HEX has been formed, it will disappear, allowing the existing panels to shift and more panels to fill the playing field.

"A clear-cut goal and two different styles of intuitive controls allow you to focus solely on the game play-which is vital, as the playing field will be full of panels before you know it. With multiple modes (unlock more as you progress further in SOLO mode), special item panels at your disposal, and the ability to play cooperatively or competitively with a friend, there will always be another HEX to create."

Strong Bad Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands

Wii Points: 1,000 Wii Points
Game Type: Adventure
Control Type: Wii Remote
Players: 1
Publisher: Telltale Games
Unique Features: WiiConnect24

"Rock and roll! Hurting for cash, Strong Bad sets out to dominate the “Battle Royale of the Bands.” Can he rule the stage and win the big prize? Or will he be drowned out by the competition? Find out in this high-voltage episode."

It appears that Rotohex is very much like Dialhex from the Japanese Bit Generation titles, and this week we've got the third Strong Bad episode as well. We're half way through the series now - keep it going!
