Spy Chameleon (EnjoyUp Games) – €4.99/£4.49 (€3.99/£3.59 if you own 99Seconds, Abyss, Darts Up, Rock Zombie or Unepic on Wii U)
Don’t let the comic look fool you. Being a good RGB agent requires a lot of talent. Spy Chameleon is an arcade-puzzle game where the player must avoid being seen thanks to the chameleon’s ability to change colours and camouflage. Through 5 missions and 75 levels, the player will discover different enemies and abilities to complete these super-secret missions: taking photos of a celebrity with her lover and stealing the secret formula of a successful soft drink are just two examples. Watch your enemies, choose the best path and run to the next safe point. The duration of each level can mean finishing a game in just minutes or spending hours trying to complete the missions and all the challenges, getting the best time among your friends or completing all the achievements.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Activision) – €59.99/£49.99
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 takes place outside the events of the second film in a unique story where Spider-Man discovers a larger threat to NYC that has turned the underworld upside down. Villains from the film as well as fan-favourite, classic Marvel characters are woven together in a twisted web of adrenaline-fueled, free-roaming, web-slinging action that puts players on a collision course with an evil far beyond Spider-Man’s reckoning.
TRANSFORMERS: Rise of the Dark Spark (Activision) – €59.99/£49.99
Explore two unique worlds as your favourite TRANSFORMERS characters from TRANSFORMERS: Age of Extinction and Cybertron universes! Weave your way through Earth and Cybertron universes in an unforgettable battle to secure the Dark Spark.
Wii U Virtual Console
Duck Hunt (Nintendo, NES VC) – €4.99/£3.49
Originally released as a launch title for the NES, Duck Hunt is a true classic that will really test your reflexes. Ready, aim…pow! If the ducks go down, you win. If the shots go wide, you’ll suffer your hunting dog’s sniggering! Now played with the Wii Remote instead of the Zapper light gun, it’s otherwise exactly as you might remember it. Game A and Game B modes offer different difficulty levels (and a second player can even control the duck!) while Game C ups the challenge further with fast, small clay pigeons. Wii Remote required to play. This is the US version of the game.
Kuru Kuru Kururin (Nintendo, GBA VC) – €6.99/£6.29
Steady your hands and steel your nerves for one of the most challenging puzzle-action games ever created. Kuru Kuru Kururin puts you in control of a rotating helicopter that must be carefully manoeuvred through increasingly tight and tricky labyrinthine levels. Avoid the walls and obstacles, or you’ll lose precious time and lives, as you try to reach the goal. It starts simple but soon you’ll be facing moving pistons, floating spikes and all manner of dangers. Kuru Kuru Kururin is easy to pick up but impossible to put down!
Mario Party Advance (Nintendo, GBA VC) – €6.99/£6.29
Mario and friends bring the party to Game Boy Advance with a dizzying range of activities for single players plus their pals. Mario Party Advance also introduces Professor E. Gadd’s Gaddgets: wacky toys and tricks that bring the fun outside of the game. Bowser has crashed the party and scattered all the minigames around Shroom City. Collect them all by completing the single-player game boards. Once unlocked, minigames can be played as often as you like. Earn coins to unlock Gaddgets such as the Compatibility Meter which lets you see how strong your friendships really are!
Mega Man Zero (CAPCOM, GBA VC) – €6.99/£6.29
Awakened after a century of sleep, in a strange war torn world, Zero becomes the hero in the first of his own series of adventures. Mega Man Zero sees the cybernetic warrior join forces with a resistance group battling a strangely familiar foe. This new spin-off series introduced new gameplay elements like mission-based levels, and weapons that level-up as you gain more experience; and also Cyber Elves: small but powerful creatures that grant a wide range of useful abilities.
