I really expected to wake up today and find a bunch of crap listed as the weekly Wii Shop releases. That's not quite the case, although Nintendo has turned down the excitement a bit from last couple of weeks. Still, you've got a new Bomberman title, so that's something. It's been years since I played a Bomberman game, but I remember the series as being a blast to stay up late playing with your friends. There's also yet another obscure WiiWare title and one Virtual Console game. Not bad. If this doesn't do it for you, I'm guessing you're probably not even done with Mega Man 9 yet, so you should probably go finish that before spending any more Wii Points. Or at least beat one boss.

Explore the universe like never before in Art Style: ORBIENT. Take control of gravity and anti-gravity and carefully maneuver your small star through 50 stages set in multiple galaxies. Collide with other stars to absorb them and make your own star expand in size, or capture the stars in your orbit and have them become your satellites. Space isn't empty, though, and you'll have to avoid bumping into obstacles or getting pulled into a black hole. If you feel like relaxing while still being challenged, this is the game for you. Its combination of simple controls, atmospheric sound and unique environment make for an experience unlike any other.
