Reviews 2 (Nintendo Power)

Now, reviews from the next issue of Nintendo Power. This month, there wer a lot better games coming out for the Wii/DS than last month. Starting off, Kirby Super Start Ultra. Kirby Super Start Ultra is the remake of Kirby Super Star for the SNES. The original game had eight total games all featuring Kirby, some mingames and some full games. This new remake has added seven games, four full ones and three minigames, and got a 9.0. Next, Wario Land: Shake It! Wario Land: Shake It! is a action/platformer for the Wii that is very similar to the original Wario Lands but were new gameplay mechanics and updated graphics. Playing through the game, there are many times were you will have to tilt or shake to Wii controller to do various actions, including getting treasure and doing a ground-pound. Overall, it's not anything startling and new, but it sounds like a fun and simple game that got a 8.0. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, is a new concept for Sonic games, straying away from the traditional platforming and high-speed areas, and moving into the RPG genre. This game is made by BioWare, a famous group and from what I can tell, they have done a great job with the game. The battle system has touch screen inputs reminiscent of Elite Beat Agents, and seems like a fun addition, albeit slightly annoying. Overall, a somewhat annoying but very good game that got a 8.0. Overall, a fairly good month for gaming on Nintendo systems.
