Wii Shop Channel Adds Kirby, Sand Castle Battler

7
Just two games were added to Nintendo's Wii Shop this week: Kirby's Dream Land 3 on Virtual Console, and Konami's WiiWare title Sandy Beach. Finally fulfilling the Wii hardware's potential for a crab-based sand castle battler, Sandy Beach challenges gamers to construct fully-armed and operational sand battlestations in preparation for a deadly crustacean invasion. Similar to Rampart, players must defend against increasingly difficult waves of pirate crabs, rebuilding their defenses in turn.

Both titles are available today. Check below for further details.

Sandy Beach (Konami, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, Comic Mischief, 500 Wii Points): Enjoy a fun day at Sandy Beach as you build elaborate sand castles. You can work peacefully on your sand castle or enter into a battle with invading crabs in Crab Battle mode. Players will strategically build their sand castle and use cannons to defend it against an army of destructive crabs. After successfully defending your sand castle, discover beach treasures and additional cannons with your metal detector to customize your castle even more.

Kirby's Dream Land 3 (Super NES, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Kirby, Dream Land's resident hero (and everyone's favorite puffball), must once again save the day when the mischievous King Dedede starts causing trouble. Kirby must travel through an assortment of levels, battling an exotic array of enemies (both new and familiar) determined to stop him from completing his mission. Always armed with his trusty ability to swallow enemies and gain special attacks, Kirby can also unite with some of his animal friends and make use of their particular talents. Featuring detailed graphics, challenging boss battles and the distinct charm of a Kirby game, it's no wonder this title is considered a classic.

    This sounds like a Wii tower defense game

      I think it's more like Rampart, but I'm not sure.

        sounds kinda like both?

        Rampart was bad-ass.
