The Games of Wii Sports Club
Posted on August 1st, 2014 by
One of Nintendo’s most popular sports titles on the Wii was Wii Sports. So when the Wii U first came out, naturally Nintendo had a Wii Sports title for that, too. But they released it a little differently. Shortly after the launch of the Wii U, you could download and play games on Wii Sports Club. You could pay for each sport separately or pay to play by the hour. But now Nintendo has just released a disc copy of Wii Sports Club with little to no fanfare, so I thought I’d write about it a bit in this blog.
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition (360, Xbox One, Wii U, PS4)
Posted on July 30th, 2014 by
Juan is a humble Mexican farmer, but one day while helping prepare for his village’s Day of the Dead festivities, a group of evil skeletons kidnaps El Presidente’s daughter, who is also Juan’s childhood friend. These skeletons, led by the evil Calaca, plan to merge the world of the dead with the world of the living, and they kill Juan before he can rescue the girl. Stuck in the world of the dead, Juan finds a mysterious mask. When he puts it on, he becomes a strong and powerful Luchador. The guardian of the mask, a lady named Tostada, tells Juan that the mask not only gives him the power of a Luchador, but will also allow him to return to the world of the living so he can rescue El Presidente’s daughter, defeat Calaca and his minions, and save both worlds in the process. I don’t know what is different in the Super Turbo Championship Edition of Guacamelee, since I never played the original, but this downloadable game is a 2-D action platformer with Metroid-style exploration and combo-based fighting gameplay (360 version reviewed here).

Marvel Pinball: Deadpool (360)
Posted on July 23rd, 2014 by
Everyone’s favorite “Merc With a Mouth,” Deadpool, is bouncing of the comic book pages and into his own pinball game. His table features all the madcap nonsense and crazy humor you’d expect from Marvel’s most wisecracking superhero (and sometimes villain). You can download and play it on consoles that support Zen Studios’ pinball games and PC, but it’s reviewed on 360 here.
