Wii Shop Channel updates

WiiWare delivers two new titles today.

-Art Style: Orbient (600 Wii Points)
Explore the universe like never before in Art Style: ORBIENT. Take control of gravity and antigravity to carefully maneuver your small star through 50 stages set in multiple galaxies. Collide with other stars to absorb them and make your own star expand in size, or capture the stars in your orbit and have them become your satellites. Space isn't empty though, and you'll have to avoid bumping into obstacles or getting pulled into a black hole. If you feel like relaxing while still being challenged, this is the game for you—its combination of simple controls, atmospheric sound, and unique environment make for an experience unlike any other!

Games in the Art Style series feature elegant design, polished graphics, and pick-up-and-play controls, creating an experience focused purely on fun and engaging game play.


-Bomberman Blast (1,000 Wii points)

A brand new addition to the Bomberman series is available on WiiWare! Up to eight players can battle online simultaneously via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection! Simple controls make this a great game for family and friends to enjoy at anytime! New items can be triggered by shaking the Wii Remote™ controller for excitement never before experienced in a Bomberman title! You can even take the intensity up another notch by adding your own Mii™ caricatures to the mix! Battle results can be recorded on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Ranking, so see how you stack up against others around the globe! This title will prove to be a blast for everyone--from those who've never touched a Bomberman game, to the Bomberman masters!

While only one Virtual Console game becomes available:
-Super Turrican 2 (SNES, 800 Wii Points)
As the last survivor of the United Freedom Forces, it is your duty to destroy the Machine's forces that have devastated the galaxy. Fight through countless hordes of enemies using everything at your disposal. Use weapons and power-ups to fight back the tide of oncoming enemies. Use your special abilities, like the Energy Wheel and Cyberfist, to find secret areas and score extra lives. When your lives and continues are gone, the mission ends. You are the galaxy's last hope. Are you up to the challenge?

I would say that the first two titles are definetly worth checking into. Interesting that there is only one VC game this week...
