Nintendo Wii and Wii U Downloads This Week

This week's Wii U offerings: Toki Tori and Wii Sports Club. The latter is the original Wii Sports game sold piecemeal, with an unfortunate pricing structure. Each game has a 24 hour free demo period, and is either $1.99 to rent all of the games for a single day, or $9.99 to own an entire game "permanently" as downloadable game ownership goes. So to own Wii Sports on Wii U, it's $50.

BMOG: New Transforming Figures/Weapons on Kickstarter
|
New on Kickstarter (and from people we know and trust) check out BMOG: Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalts - Ursenal Vs Mantax. $15 gets you a Manta Ray gun, $20 gets you a bear made of guns, and $50 gets you both toys in two different colors. That's the one I went for.
The concept comes from people I know and respect - Greg Sepelak and Trent Troop - and uses the 5mm pegs used on other toy lines (Battle Beasts bases, Transformers, Robo Links, Zoids Blox, etc.) Each figure is made of multiple pieces, which basically means this is an unholy amalgamation of Zoids, Mini-Cons, and Energon Weapons. Estimated time of arrival is March 2014 and it's roughly 25% pledged with 31 days to go. (And I hope glow-in-the-dark is on deck.)

On sale: jumbo vinyl Imbalance of Blood Mordle ($15, pictured), Underworld Mordles (black with teal, $10), Sect of Rand Mordles (red with black, $10), Explorer Mordle (singular - brown with green, $1). Random Mordle packs and a few singles should be on sale as well, which sounds pretty nice.

Target: New Christmas Batman Justice League Figure
|
Target's new Christmas section also added a pair of new LEGO Polybagged sets. Neither seems to have any traditional minifigures, but at least you can get a cheap sack of bricks with which to build something or other.
30106 is a LEGO Friends set with an ice cream cart, because what is more Christmas than ice cream? Also, 40034 is a small Christmas train. Not much in the way of action figures were there, but you could see a lot of blind-bagged toys which seem to be the new stocking staple.

New Games for the Xbox 360 Live Arcade Released
|
Xbox fans, it's time to download The Bridge, a $10 puzzler. Microsoft says:
"The Bridge is a 2D logic puzzle game that forces the player to reevaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective. It is Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher. Manipulate gravity to redefine the ceiling as the floor while venturing through impossible architectures. Explore increasingly difficult worlds, each uniquely detailed and designed to leave the player with a pronounced sense of intellectual accomplishment. The Bridge exemplifies games as an art form, with beautifully hand-drawn art in the style of a black-and-white lithograph. Features: *48 thought-provoking puzzles, each unique from the rest, all requiring an innovative solution. *Gravity manipulations, gravitational vortexes, parallel dimensions, and many more mind-bending concepts in a world where the laws of physics are not what they seem. *M. C. Escher-esque worlds with impossible architecture set in the style of beautifully hand-drawn black-and-white lithographic art. *An alternate version of the game unlocked after the main storyline has been completed, including challenging alternate versions of each of the 24 main puzzles, along with an alternate ending. *A time-backtracking system to alleviate any fears of making a mistake."

Back in 1989, Sega crowned itself the coolest kid on the block with a massive ad blitz for the Sega Genesis. By 1998, it was being manufactured by Majesco for two bits and a rat's tail. Today, Walmart has a unit with 60 built-in games, 2 controllers, and a cartridge slot for all your Goodwill/Bookmans/stolen Genesis cartridge finds.
This fine item is $29.99ish at a Walmart's game section. The stores also seem to be restocking Atari Flashback 3 units.

The set is under $30 and for all I know is a Black Friday item - I was surprised to see it, and it was not marked as an exclusive.

BMOG: New Fishy Figure Previewed on Kickstarter
|
Now on Kickstarter, the BMOG: Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalts - Ursenal Vs Mantax has a preview up for a small, green, fishy gun figure/weapon. It's neat! It's an as-of-yet unannounced stretch goal.
Nifty! At press time it's close to 48% of its goal, so give 'er a spin. I pledged, because I've been itching to get a mess of weapons for my figures for quite some time and the one RoboLinks gun I found at Goodwill ain't cutting it.
Also, check out the new Featherblight update. This stretch goal is the update for after Ursenal, and it's a big bird. Pterattacktyl, the best most-overlooked name ever, is also included.
