Heron: Steam Machine Message Board

A new take on the classic Pipe Dream design.

This week might be a bit lighter on the triple-A WiiWare content than last week (which saw the releases of Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth and The Magic Obelisk), but there are still numerous titles available for Wii and DSi owners. One of which is Final Fight 3! And one more of which, you lucky downloaders, is the promised Fast Draw Showdown, which means you can be shooting at full motion video-captured, Old West-types today. A "yee-haw" would seem appropriate right now.

Factory engineer Ron has to do overtime again!

We'd never heard of most of the games in this week's European Wii/DSi Shop update. While that could point to shovelware, we prefer to think of it as surprises. Until we find out for sure that it's all shovelware, at least.Heron: Steam Machine is a really promising-sounding name for a game that turns out to be a pretty familiar puzzle trope, but with rubber ducks added. Not herons. Little Tournament Over Yonder is a cutesy strategy game. and Viking Invasion on DSiWare is tower defense. Wakugumi is an interesting puzzle game in which you move black and white squares around to create unbroken loops, capturing the opposite-color squares inside. And Super Return of the Jedi is a backgammon game. Or a side-scrolling action game based on the movie. One of those. Heron: Steam Machine (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 500 Wii Points) Little Tournament Over Yonder (WiiWare, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points) Super Return of the Jedi (SNES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points) Viking Invasion (DSiWare, 1 player, 800 DSi Points) Wakugumi - Monochrome Puzzle (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… The game has a solid play mechanic with a great arcade feel to it backed by bouncy music - for 500 points that’s not half bad, and if you like puzzlers it’s definitely worth a look.

The rubber ducky factory needs your help solving puzzles in order to make rubber duckies!
