Strong Bad!
It's the weekend, which means it's time for more downloadable releases for the Wii – this week via WiiWare. Nintendo has Rotohex, Bang!, Pit Crew Panic! and Strong Bad Episode 4.
Rotohex is another title from Nintendo's Art Style line. It's described as “a fast-paced puzzle game for one or two players. The game challenges you to arrange the coloured triangles that fall into the playing field, rotating them to create hexagons of the same colour, which disappear. As the number of colours increase, so does the challenge.”
If you complete the standard 'Solo Mode' you'll unlock 'Endless Mode', which just keeps on going 'til you fold and the experts-only 'Sprint Mode'. It'll cost you 600 Wii Points.
Next up is another puzzler, Bang! From Engine Software. The official bunpf tells us its “objective is to find and pair identical objects and then smash them with your hammer to build up points. Once you’ve built up your points you will be eligible to use your Wii Remote to swing with the BIG hammer and really go to town smashing up your paired objects.”
For the socially-minded, “You can also pit your wits against a friend – use your cunning to deploy tactics at precisely the right moment as well as speed and special bonus objects to outwit them and gain champion status.” 600 Wii Points is what it'll set you back.
From Hudson we have Pit Crew Panic! Basically, you're required to manage an all-girl pit crew who have to fix a “wacky range of machines called WHATSITs as fast as possible”. Up to four players can try their hand at the game at once, with competitive play on offer. It costs 500 Wii Points.
Then we have Strong Bad Episode 4 - Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective. We'll let Tell Tale Games describe it to you: “In the fourth chapter of the Strong Bad adventure saga, Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, you are transformed into a dirty cop in pursuit of a little action and several big sacks of cash. Just try and make sure you stay alive long enough to defeat your arch-nemesis, save the world and get the girl. All in a day’s work then!” This one weighs in at the most this week, with a cost of 1,000 Wii Points.

These stories would be a lot better if you had some links so that we can see the games! I want to look at a couple of these but to do so I need to visit youtube and run a search, just a little nitpick, but I'm sure Spong readers would appreciate it if you did the work for them :)
Or am I being too lazy here?
