WiiWare: NA WiiWare Update - Tetris Party, Mega Man 9 DLC and... The Incredible Maze?
This week we get another two titles. WiiWare sure has been bringing quite a lot to the table lately in terms of releases. The first being Tetris Party, which for all intense and purposes is one of the best versions of Tetris around - up there with Tetris DS in terms of different game play modes and features. Considering that's out of print and ridiculously difficult to get a hold of, this might be your best bet.
Tetris Party
Wii Points: 1,200
Game Type: Puzzle
Control Type: Wii Remote, Classic, Wii Balance Board
Players: 1-6
Publisher: Tetris Online, Inc.
Tetris Party is a deceptively simple, totally addictive puzzle game that is sure to keep you and all of your friends and family entertained for hours on end. The WiiWare game features 10 never-before-seen single-player and multiplayer variations of Tetris, including Field Climber, Stage Racer, Shadow and Wii Balance Board-enabled modes (Wii Balance Board™ accessory sold with Wii Fit™). Several of the modes give users the chance to take advantage of the unique point-and-shoot capabilities of the Wii Remote™ controller. The party doesn't stop there, though. Take the Tetris fun online via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, where you can play multiplayer Tetris against up to five friends at a time. You can also see how your Tetris Party skills stack up against the rest of the world using the global ranking system.
Also this week is another completely random release out of the blue which nobody knew about whatsoever. Which is crazy in this day and age, really. It's like you want us to not care. At 500 points in might be something to look into though.
It has been rated by the ESRB, but also with the OFLC, so it will be making its way to Europe at some point.

The Incredible Maze
Wii Points: 500
Game Type: Puzzle
Control Type: Wii Remote, Wii Balance Board
Players: 1
Publisher: Digital Leisure Inc.
Get lost in The Incredible Maze! Simply tilt your Wii Remote controller to navigate a series of exciting and twisted mazes. Entering the maze could not be easier, but finding your way out will require a keen eye and a steady hand. Obstacles and traps are around every corner, so move your ball around the maze without falling off the edge. But watch out, there are lots of surprises in store. You can hunt for gems in a timed challenge, or test your abilities in a race against the clock. The Incredible Maze is also compatible with the Wii Balance Board, so you can really put your weight into it. This is the way in, but you'll have to find your own way out.
Also this week is the next batch of Mega Man 9 DLC, which will also be popping up for other consoles as well.
Hero Mode - 100 Wii Points: A more difficult and challenging single player mode.
Superhero Mode - 100 Wii Points: An even more difficult version of the game.
Special Stage - 100 Wii Points: Another time attack stage, including a brand new boss (Fake Man, above) to fight against.








Comments
Come on, not one, but two difficulty modes? I can get over extra characters and stuff like Endless mode, but that is ridiculous.
At least bundle them together for 100 or something.
