Nintendownloads - 7/20/09
It's time to let out your inner evil tower builder with Square-Enix's highly anticipated WiiWare offering Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord. It just wouldn't be a Square-Enix WiiWare title if it didn't have an excessive amount of DLC, and Darklord has it in spades. With DLC ranging from new costumes to new levels (with the costumes oddly costing more), all told the game with DLC will cost you a whopping 6700 points if you were to download all of it, making it more expensive than your average retail PS3/360 game.
But Nintendo is trying to save you some of those precious Wii points for DLC by not releasing any virtual console games this week. Although there are still two more WiiWare titles this week, Battle Poker and 5 Spots Party bring "family-friendly" fun to fans of gambling and spot-the-difference games.
For gamers on the go, Nintendo is sending out yet another of its fabulous Art Style games with Art Style: ZENGAGE. If you've been following the series, then you know that the Art Style games haven't hit a sour note yet, and this week's relaxing take on puzzling looks to continue the tradition.
Who out there is going to shell out the Wii points for all of the My Life as a Darklord DLC? The game looks really good, but maybe not $67 good. Hit the jump for full game descriptions.
WiiWare
FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a Darklord
Publisher: SQUARE ENIX
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes
Price: 1,000 Wii Points™
Description: Step into the royal shoes of the Darklord's daughter as she installs traps and monsters inside her tower to fight back the endless waves of invading adventurers in this world-conquest RPG. Known as Artifacts, these monsters and traps are your only hope in keeping the adventurers from destroying the Dark Crystal on the top floor. Fly your tower across the land and conquer every stage on your way to dominating the entire world.
Battle Poker
Publisher: Left Field Productions
Players: 1-4
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 800 Wii Points
Description: Battle Poker is a family-friendly card game with up to four players battling against the clock to make the best five-card hand possible. Battles are played across multiple rounds, and points are scored for each round based on the quality of the hand. Each player uses a Wii Remote™ controller to point and click on a standard deck of cards on the screen. The first click flips the card over, at which point it can be grabbed by anyone else. You've got to have fast fingers and eyes to grab the cards you need before someone else snatches them.
5 Spots Party
Publisher: Cosmonaut Games
Players: 1-4
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 500 Wii Points
Description: Have fun with the entire family and compete in three different play modes. 5 Spots Party is a game of skill for all ages based on the popular game of finding five differences. The goal is to find the greatest number of differences in the pictures shown. In the party modes, you must compete with other players and find as many mistakes as possible. In the 1-Player mode, you must find the differences before time runs out in order to beat the game's highest scores. How far do you think you can go?
Nintendo DSiWare
Art Style: ZENGAGE™
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points™
Description: Do you dream of relaxing with a great puzzle game? Art Style: ZENGAGE revolves around sliding cells (squares) to match colors with cores (beads) located on the board. Clear each stage by matching all of the cores and cells. As you progress through the game's 100-plus stages, you'll encounter cells with special characteristics, such as immovability, which further add to the challenge. To truly master ZENGAGE, you must keep your mind sharp and employ careful strategy to complete stages in as few moves as possible. Combining wistful graphics and mesmerizing sound, ZENGAGE creates a surreal world that should be experienced by all puzzle gaming fans.

Not a single VC game to download this week?
Lame.
I would say that next Monday better make up for this, but who am I kidding? They blatantly ignore the VC these days.
My Life as a Dark Lord! Time to boot up the old Wii and see if I have any Wii points left.
