Snakenoid Message Board

If you've got Mighty Switch Force, go download it again from the eShop later today. WayForward is updating it to a "New Edition" featuring the vocal stylings of a young Bobby Brown. Actually, it features five new levels, upgraded 3D effects, and a "retry" button.

If you'd like to buy something else while you're on the eShop, the Game Boy Game & Watch Gallery 2 is on the shop today, as is the DSiWare game Snakenoid Deluxe, which is, of course, Snake plus Arkanoid. And this Friday, you can get a Madagascar 3 trailer on Nintendo Video, to bring Chris Rock's voice with you everywhere.

And on Wii this week: nothing.

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… Snakenoid is a very small improvement on Sokomania, but that isn’t exactly saying very much. For 500 Points you’re getting a mixture of two classics which just doesn’t work, resulting in an incredibly hard and frustrating gameplay experience.

Excitebike World Rally, having just been released in Japan this week, is now available in Europe, ready to delight players with online, tilt-controlled classic motorcycle racing. Final Fight 3 is also out in Europe this week, with classic dude-punching. We're starting to wonder -- is the worldwide Virtual Console release of Final Fight 3 some kind of abstract promotion for Super Street Fighter IV, which features characters and locales that originated in the Final Fight series? Or is it the Wii's equivalent of Final Fight Double Impact?

• Final Fight 3 (Virtual Console: SNES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
• "Aha! I Found It!" Hidden Object Game (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 500 Wii Points)
• Excitebike World Challenge (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points)
• Snakenoid (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)

Snakenoid arcade action is coming to DSi.
