Pokémon Rumble is a fighting game staring those cute, cuddly pocket monsters. Yes, we said fighting game, so don’t go expecting any of those fancy turned based battles. You’ll have to battle a variety of different Pokémon, and the some of them you’ll even befriend and be able to unleash in the arena at your leisure. Elemental attributes also play a key role in gameplay, so electrical attacks will be super effective against water type Pokémon but won’t even phase rock types. The game will set you back 1500 Wii points.
Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem is a shooting gallery game that sees players assume the role of a monkey that fires coconuts at targets. As you progress your monkey will begin to evolve into a human, and those coconuts will turn into deadly guns. It’s certainly a bizarre and simple game, but at 500 Wii points it might prove to be some cheap fun while you camp out in front of the air conditioner due to the heat.
It’s also noteworthy to mention two new demos have been released on the Wii Shopping Channel. The demos are for the WiiWare games Pokémon Rumble and World of Goo.

After being available on the Wii Shop Channel for two weeks, Uno finally makes its way to the DSi Store.

myNotebook: Blue is a DSi application that gives you 32 pages to write notes on, though if you’re anything like us you’d use it to doodle drawings during those boring staff meetings. This particular version of the application features a blue colour scheme and will set you back 200 DSi points.
