Orbient the First Entry in Art Style Series for WiiWare
Console allegiances aside, there’s one thing no one can dispute; Nintendo knows how to surprise people.
The company released today the curiously titled, surprisingly stylish Art Style: Orbient to WiiWare, a remake of the 2006 GameBoy Advance title Orbital. It’s available in the Wii Shop Channel for 600 Wii Points.
The Art Style series is a remake of the Bit Generations games, a series of seven Nintendo games released for the GBA in Japan in 2006. The series was popular for its simply controls and stylish presentation.
Wii-kly Update: Bomberman Blast, Art Style: ORBIENT, and Super Turrican 2
Last week saw us get Vectorman, Super Dodge Ball, and Mega Man 9. Can this week’s update hope to maintain the fever pitch?
WiiWare™
Art Style: ORBIENT (Nintendo, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points): Explore the universe like never before in Art Style: ORBIENT. Take control of gravity and anti-gravity and 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.
Bomberman Blast (Hudson Entertainment, 1-8 players, Rated E for Everyone—Mild Cartoon Violence, 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 anytime. You can trigger new items by shaking the Wii Remote™ controller, creating new levels of Bomberman excitement. You can even take the intensity up another notch by adding your own Mii™ caricatures to the mix. Battle results can be recorded on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Ranking, so you can 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.
