Sizzling Summer Downloads

Temperatures aren’t the only thing heating up this season as Nintendo celebrates the unofficial onset of summer with another round of red-hot game downloads. May has been an especially big month for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, with notable recent releases such as Photo Dojo™, Frogger Returns and Metal Torrent™.

This week’s additions keep the momentum going strong with awesome hand-held games like X-Scape™ and Hero of Sparta. X-Scape is developed by Q Games, the same team that created Trajectile™ and STARSHIP DEFENSE™. Turn your Nintendo DSi™ system upside-down and play as the Imperial Armada out to destroy the Earth Defense Force in this topsy-turvy take on arcade shooters, A Topsy Turvy Life: The Turvys Strike Back. Finally, play number puzzles from the Telegraph like you’ve never played them before with Telegraph Sudoku & Kakuro.

Of course, Wii™ owners have plenty to be excited about too: New offerings include a Ben 10 Alien Force adventure, Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of Hex follows Ben Tennyson as he finds himself in the middle of Hex’s villainous plan to control the Earth. Next up on the WiiWare™ service we have Voodoo Dice, an innovative, challenging puzzler that invites you to solve puzzles in unique and interesting ways. Set in a world of wisecracking, battling robots, Robocalypse – Beaver Defense offers madcap weaponry and uproarious destruction in a “tower defense”-style game.

And, last up, the Virtual Console™ debut of a classic cowboy shooter from the Super NES™ era, Wild Guns. Discover the wildest West you’ve ever seen in this action-packed third-person shooter.
