Stay Motivated in May with
Marvelous New Game Downloads

What’s your motivation? It all
depends on which of this week’s downloadable games you choose to play. In Zombie
Panic in Wonderland for the WiiWare service, the goal is survival. In both
Sokomania and 1001 Crystal Mazes Collection for the Nintendo DSiWare service,
you’re driven by a need to arrange objects in their proper places. With seven
new titles added to the ever-growing library of downloadable games from
Nintendo, players can be motivated and mesmerized in more ways than ever.

Also this week, the “Big Name Games”
section of the WarioWare: D.I.Y. series continues to offer new downloadable
microgames created by the industry’s most talented designers. The latest
addition comes from Todd Lewis of 5TH Cell, developer of the award-winning
Scribblenauts. New “Big Name Games” will be added every Monday through July 26,
all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points to anyone with broadband
Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS
family of systems or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare
service. Visit the Nintendo Channel on your Wii system today to learn more about
these games and to watch a video of ace designer Todd Lewis working on his
original microgame, Fly Home!

game. Challenge up to three of your friends to see who has what it takes to
become the ultimate kung fu master. There are many trials to overcome in three
zany game modes. True to any kung fu movie, you start by learning the Zen arts –
a chilled out stage to get you familiar with the controls. Once your skills are
fully waxed, enter the kung fu training movie montage, which consists of insane
mini-games. Once your skills are honed, enter the ultimate battle as the
instructor in your own disco kung fu dojo.

Nintendo DSiWare

BLOONS
Publisher: Hands-On Mobile
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: BLOONS is an exciting puzzle game based on the simple fact that
popping balloons is fun. Pop your way through dozens of puzzling levels in this
exciting puzzle adventure. Each level will have a different arrangement of
balloons. Use darts to try and pop as many as you can. Watch for special
balloons, blocks and darts, and have fun discovering what they do. BLOONS is a
great game that you can pick up and play for a few minutes while you’re queued
up at the store, or sit on the couch for hours as you work your way through 70
included levels. As an added bonus, there’s also a level editor that you can use
to create your own balloon puzzles.

Sokomania
Publisher: CINEMAX
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: Several crates have been placed on the playing area. Players must
control a figure that can push the crates forward. The aim is to get all the
crates to their designated places. Players select the episode they want to play
and the level they wish to start at. Only completed levels (highlighted in
green) and the first unfinished level in each episode are accessible. By
repeating previously finished levels, players can try to finish them with fewer
crate movements. But be warned: Those movements are added to the total movement
number of the actual game, so for the best (i.e., the lowest) number of
movements, it’s advisable to finish the game in one run.

Bounce & Break
Publisher: Enjoy Gaming Ltd.
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: In this Zen world, you will play in four different universes. Each
universe is divided into four seasons. The best two scores are saved in the Top
Ranking table. Be the best player to enter this Hall of Fame. There are two
different game modes: classical and orientation. Depending on which mode that
has been selected, the game’s rules will change slightly. There are many
different bonuses that can be collected during the game.

1001 Crystal Mazes Collection
Publisher: Teyon
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: Give your brain a workout with 1001 Crystal Mazes Collection, the
deceptively simple jewel logic game. It’s easy to learn but hard to master. Your
task is to push the crystals forward to their target destinations one at a time.
It sounds simple, but be careful. You can push your jewel into an impossibly
locked position if you don’t plan ahead. As the mazes get harder and the
crystals pile up, you’ll need clever thinking to clear the labyrinth. With more
than 1,000 jewel-filled puzzles, this fun collection will challenge your mind
and push your skills to the limit.

Players: 1-4
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)

friends in multiplayer mode and show them who’s the true champ.
