System Flaw Message Board

There is a lot of stuff on the Wii and DSi Shops this week, but no obvious standouts. The most potentially exciting games are a Lemmings-like thing about dodo eggs, a DSiWare version of a Scrabble card game we didn't know existed, and a fighting game of which you might already have three or four copies. Head past the break to see more assorted stuff.

Capcom's about a month late to use a classic Mega Man game as a promotional tool for Mega Man 10, but that's okay! Mega Man 4 is now available on the European Virtual Console, and even though it's slightly mis-timed, the end result is that you can buy another Mega Man game right now. Also available on Wii is Ghostfire Games' gladiatorial Punch-Out!! variant, Rage of the Gladiator.

DSiWare's new downloads include a collection of puzzle games (sudoku, kakuro, anagrams, etc.) and the downloadable version of Mr. Driller.

• Mega Man 4 (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
• Rage of the Gladiator (WiiWare, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points)
• Bloons (WiiWare, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
• Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs - Fight For Survival (DSiWare, 1-2 players, 800 DSi Points)
• Mr. Driller Drill Till You Drop (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)
• Pocket Pack: Words & Numbers (DSiWare, 1-6 players, 500 DSi Points)
• System Flaw: Recruit (DSiWare, 1 players, 500 DSi Points)

A portion of a BlogCritics review… This game delivers on entertainment with a solid application incorporating the NDSi camera. Hopefully more NDSi games like this one will create a new wave of innovative entertainment to compliment DSiWare downloads.

You know, living rooms (or parlors, for you weirdos out there) are damn boring -- it goes double for outdoor patios. Luckily, System Flaw is attempting to address your home and its surroundings' severe deficiency in fun as one of the first DSi-only games. Utilizing the handheld's built-in camera, it populates your real-world locale with virtual enemies to shoot down in a kind of first-person shmup. It's an interesting concept, as you can see for yourself in the video past the break. [Thanks, RupeeClock]
