(Tik Games, LLC, 500 Nintendo DSi Points)

Are you ready to take the hero's seat in this gripping arcade game? Civilization is threatened by a terrifying Global Multi-Phased Meteor Attack - thousands of strange rocks are hurtling towards the earth. Your mission is to protect our cities by controlling a rocket launcher that is built to protect our city. Different types of Meteors, innovative power ups and beautiful graphics only increase the thrill and challenge and guarantees everyone hours of non-stop action.

WiiWare - Soccer Bashi™
(Icon Games Entertainment Ltd, 500 Wii Points)

Take lasers and flaming power-balls onto the soccer pitch in Soccer Bashi™. Smash through invisible and exploding blocks on your way to scoring goal after goal, but watch out for the enemy defenders out to destroy you. Take on the nine bosses, multitudes of 3D defender enemies and 90 game levels over game modes including Arcade and Tournament. You’ll also be able to create your own levels and tournaments and pick up Power-Ups including multiple balls, bats and bombs.

WiiWare - Sneezies
(Chillingo, 500 Wii Points)

Sit back in your favourite armchair and enjoy soothing, relaxed gameplay, hilarious sound effects, elegant graphics and graceful melodies. Drop a burst of sneezing powder into the field of floating Sneezies and watch as they sneeze themselves out of their bubbles in a beautiful chain reaction. Try to rescue as many Sneezies as you can in one go, through 45 relaxing levels in Classic Mode, or in the 15 Challenge Mode levels. Post your high scores online for free, straight from the game, and see how you stack up against other Sneezies players around the world.

Virtual Console - MAGICAL DROP II
(D4 Enterprise, Neo Geo, 900 Wii Points)

Revisit the 90’s with this puzzle action game released by Data East in 1996. The rules are simple: control the clown to grab and throw balloons as they appear on screen. Line up three or more balloons of the same colour in a vertical row and watch them burst. Use Special balloons, Arrow balloons, Rainbow balloons and more to create combos, whether battling a host of comical characters in VS CPU Mode, or taking on the challenge of Puzzle Mode. Both modes support player-versus-player action, so you can take a trip back to 1996 and bring all your friends with you.

Virtual Console - KARNOV'S REVENGE
(D4 Enterprise, Neo Geo, 900 Wii Points)

Return to the Great Grapple martial arts tournament in this fast-paced sequel to the well-loved Fighter's History. This time, thirteen combatants have emerged to test their skills against the best of the best in a series of dramatic showdowns; among them, bosses Clown and Karlov from the original game return as playable characters. Use a wide range of secret attacks and a weak spot system that assigns a vulnerable area to each fighter, and if you fight well enough the bull from the bonus stage of the Data East classic Karate Champ will also make a special appearance!
