This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Thrillville: Off the Rails by Vooks

Thrillville: Off the Rails is a game that suffers from an identity crisis. On the one hand, it can be seen as theme park creator and Sim. But on the other, it’s just another mini-game-fest that I’m sure we’ve all seen before in the Wii’s library of games. The game feels like it’s a too little of a Sim and too much of a mini-game compilation. Even then it’s hard to find the target audience that would enjoy this game to its full potential. Younger players get mini-games with a strange Sim game tacked on and older players get a shallow and cheesy Sim experience with some flash mini-games added to the mix. Some of the mini-games make great little multiplayer bouts, but they all tire way too fast. The intuitive rollercoaster building helps bring this game up from a relatively downhill ride.

Today Nintendo adds three new classic games to the popular Wii™ video game system’s Wii Shop Channel. The games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games are:

Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Remember when no one had ever heard of a Tanooki Suit or knew that Bowser™ had a clan of Koopalings? The game that made these things common knowledge is also considered by many to be one of the best ever made. Bowser and the Koopalings are causing chaos yet again, but this time they’re going beyond the Mushroom Kingdom into the seven worlds that neighbor it. Now Mario and Luigi™ must battle new enemies, returning favorites and a new Koopaling in each unique and distinctive world on their way to ultimately taking on Bowser himself. Luckily for the brothers, they have more power-ups available than ever before. Fly above the action using the Super Leaf, swim faster by donning the Frog Suit or defeat enemies using the Hammer Bros. Suit. Use the brand-new overworld map to take the chance to play a minigame in hopes of gaining extra lives or to find a Toad’s House where you can pick up additional items. All this (and more) combines into one of gaming’s most well-known and beloved titles—are you ready to experience gaming bliss?

Alien Soldier™ (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older –Fantasy Violence, 900 Wii Points): As Epsilon-Eagle, you are an alien soldier who has been genetically engineered to produce maximum intelligence and strength. You were once a member of the criminal organization Scarlet, but when you decided to break from the group, you were forced into a showdown with Scarlet’s new leader Xi-Tiger, who kills a hostage in his attempt to destroy you. Now it’s up to you to take revenge against the bad guys in this side-scrolling action game! Choose from six different weapons and battle the bosses of Scarlet until you reach the final confrontation with the ultimate secret weapon!

Power Golf (TurboGrafx16, 1-3 players, Rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points): Power Golf sports a perfect combination of simple-yet-realistic controls and beautiful graphics. Swing away on 18 lush holes in one of three different game modes: the single-player STROKE PLAY mode and the multiplayer MATCH PLAY and COMPETITION modes. Enter tournaments as one of three different characters—beginner, intermediate and advanced. Wind strength and the slope of the green add extra challenges to each hole. Compete against other players in the standard NORMAL MATCH or ante up one of your clubs in the unique CLUB MATCH. Up to three players can play in COMPETITION mode, and a handicap feature is included to help novice players pull off breathtaking shots just like their advanced rivals.

This is an excerpt from the Preview of the Nintendo Wii game Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 by CVG

It’s an impressive sequel that’s certainly a lot more polished than its rivals. With user-friendly features such as the ability to jump straight into a game within a couple of clicks from the title screen, and automatic skipping of certain games if one or more players lacks a nunchuk, this is a well-crafted effort that should see a lot of action at multiplayer parties.
