Today Nintendo dropped a load of fresh WiiWare-games into the WiiWare Channel of the Wii. First up is Critter Round-Up, a game that costs 1000 Wii Points and is loaded with over 50 challenging levels including the icy Arctic and exotic locations. But game of the week is definitely Star Soldier R from Hudson. This fantasy violence game costs 800 Wii Points and is filled with powerful enemies that need to be eliminated. Develop your own strategy and go on a rampage to kill those bastards!

Critter Round-Up (Konami, 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points):

The critters have escaped, and the barnyard is in chaos! It’s up to you to quickly corral the animals in this puzzle-action challenge. You’ll have to mend fences in a hurry to keep all the critters safe and satisfied. But the fun doesn’t stop with the farmland; more than 50 challenging levels take you to several exotic locations, including the outback, the icy Arctic and more. There’s even a series of minigames for when the critters get you down: Snowball Soccer, Predator Rampage, Chicken Catch and Fence Trap. Up to four players can compete or cooperate as the critters run wild. So roll up those sleeves and grab a friend—those critters won’t catch themselves.
