The latest gaming title from Nintendo allows players to build their own challenges from the ground up. NY1's Adam Balkin filed the following report.Nintendo's latest idea for a game you'll think is a must have -- a game that you create yourself. WarioWare games have always been a collection of mini-games that require creative uses of the DS touchscreen or Wii remote. Same goes for WarioWare DIY only as you can probably guess by the DIY in the title a huge part of this game is Do It Yourself, as in create some of the mini-games yourself. You can paint, make the soundtrack, and of course, devise a worthy challenge.
The game does offer up a nice virtual instructor to help you through it all. After you're done, you can then share your game with others. You can either send it from one DS to another or upload it to a giant database online where others can play your levels and you can play those made by others. Not only that, you can even transfer your creations to your Wii for play on your big screen. WarioWare DIY is out next week for the Nintendo DS for $35.
And while it's not quite a sequel, Wii Racquet Sports follows up on one of the most popular Wii games ever, part of the original Wii title, Wii Sports a.k.a the one that comes with the console.
Tennis always seems to strike first time Wii users because of its simplicity: swing the remote like you swing a racket, and that's it. Wii Racquet Sports is played the same way only you can master five sports with the same basic moves -- regular tennis, beach tennis, badminton, squash and ping pong. There are six different challenge modes and as you progress through the game you unlock different locations to play, from the island of Santorini in Greece to a Bali, Beach. This one is also available as a bundle with a camera so that you can play remoteless, just swing your arm.
Wii Racquets Sports is out now, without the camera, for $30, with for $40.
