Family & Friends Battle
by Sarah
Last week, Nintendo released their first batch of Commodore 64 games on the Virtual Console. This week? It’s back to the standard one WiiWare, one VC game, with no C64 titles in sight. I wouldn’t complain, but the title of the single WiiWare game makes it sound like they’re just not even trying anymore. Family & Friends Party? Come on, you guys can do better than that. Tactics game Ogre Battle for the SNES looks kind of interesting, has anyone played it? Is it worth eight bucks?

It’s up to you to defeat the Empire. It’s been nearly a quarter of a century since the Zetegenian Empire first conquered the Kingdoms of Zenobia with a wrath of fear and bloodshed. You are the leader of a band of rebels who’ve fought to preserve the last shred of honor in this desperate time of treachery. Manage the ranks of a full-blown rebel army, complete with hundreds of characters, magic items, weapons and mystical Tarot cards. You must succeed in ousting the evil usurpers—your fate, and that of the entire population, depends on it.

Have fun with all your friends and family as you take on some very exciting challenges. This is an interactive board game for as many as eight players of all ages. The goal is to be the first to complete a series of challenges. During each turn, a challenge will be played by one or two players per team depending on the type of challenge you’ve been given. (Other players on your team can still help and support you). There are six different “Single” challenges that must be played cooperatively by members of the same team. Family & Friends Party can also suggest “Versus” challenges, which must be played competitively by all teams at the same time.

Another week of weak from Nintendo.
What? How dare you Sean....
Ogre battle is an awesome game, really worth the 8$. Multiple endings too, depending on choices you make.
Thanks for the tip, Zantagor! I'm not a super-huge tactics fan, but I've never played a 16-bit tactics game before so I was kind of curious.
Well, the game plays more like a RTS than a "Tactics" (FFT, Tactic Ogre, etc) game.
Ah, okay. I was just going by screenshots, since it looked kind of like a primitive FFT-esque setup.
