Nintendo has added several new games to its online WiiWare and Virtual Console catalog this week.
New WiiWare game Pirates: The Key of Dreams is a frantic nautical shoot- em-up. Sail your way across the Caribbean, cannons blazing, looting booty, running blockades and ultimately battling Blackbeard himself.
The player takes control of a navy captain sent deep undercover as a ruthless pirate in order to seek out and retrieve the Key of Dreams, a valuable and dangerous cursed artifact. Rescue castaways to bolster your ship s crew, gaining performance increases to your navigation, weaponry, structural integrity and cartography skills.
Play against three of your scurvy friends or A.I. opponents in pitched multiplayer battles over 35 levels, set in seven themed environments. Choose from different ship types that reflect your play style and play in turbo mode if you re pirate enough.
On the Virtual Console you’ll find Gley Lancer, an old Sega Mega Drive title. In the year 2025, a war breaks out between humans and a hostile alien race, and 16-year-old Lucia and the rest of the starfighter pilots in the Earth Federation must join the battle.
When Lucia s father is kidnapped by the aliens, she decides to take action and hijacks a brand new prototype starfighter, the Gley Lancer, in order to try to save him.
Pirates: The Key of Dreams and Gley Lancer are available now for 1,000 and 900 points respectively.
