Featuring a Breakout clone, a fishing simulator, and a Neo-Geo fighter.

This week's WiiWare and Virtual Console update features a couple of new WiiWare titles and single new Neo-Geo Virtual Console title.

The first new entry to WiiWare, Block Breaker Deluxe, is modeled around the classic title Breakout which was first featured in arcade form in the 70s. Block Breaker Deluxe still features the same basic premise of deflecting a ball with a ship at rows of blocks positioned above the ship, however, the newest WiiWare title incorporates a variety of graphical updates, settings and an exclusive multiplayer mode. Block Breaker Deluxe is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and is currently available on the Wii Shop Channel for 800 Wii Points.

This week's other featured WiiWare title is the first of a few upcoming Cocoto WiiWare entries, Cocoto Fishing Master. The game features a unique gameplay experience that uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to emulate the true fishing experience. Players will be able to fish in five different lakes in five different worlds and fish for over thirty types of fish. Players can also sell their caught fish and buy new equipment to enhance their experiences out on the virtual lakes. Cocoto Fishing Master is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and is currently available on the Wii Shop Channel for 700 Wii Points.

Finally, this week's Virtual Console entry is another title for the Neo-Geo, Samurai Shodown. Samurai Shodown is a fighting title that integrates weapons combat into the core mechanic of the game. Players need to be careful when in the heat of battle, because a wrong move can result in a lost weapon, putting the player at a significant disadvantage. Players can choose from 12 fighters, some of which also bring animal companions to the competition, and square off in the first entry of the Samurai Shodown series. Samurai Shodown is rated T for Teen by the ESRB and is currently available on the Wii Shop Channel for 900 Wii Points.

Virtual Console

SAMURAI SHODOWN (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen-Animated Blood, Crude Humor, Violence, 900 Wii Points): This first entry in the extremely popular and revolutionary fighting-game series was released in 1993. Choose from 12 swordsmen with highly individualistic characteristics and fight furiously, ultimately confronting the evil Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. Each character wields his or her own specific weapon, but you must be careful not to lose it during the heat of battle. Some of the fighters also bring an animal companion into the fray, offering a unique aspect to the quick-paced action. Another significant feature of the game is the anger gauge, which indicates the level of anger felt by each of the combatants as they suffer repeated injuries. If the anger reaches its maximum level, the attacking ability of the character increases, leading to even more intense confrontations. Through it all, the refined camera system smoothly zooms in and out of the playing field, presenting the frenzy of the battle while showcasing the lively background (watch as the referee scores hits). Awaken the samurai spirit within and get ready for a new kind of fight.
