Get ready for a graphic game with a twist as Art of Ink comes to Nintendo DSiWare this week. Working in one of the coolest tattoo studios in town, use your Stylus as a tattoo machine which will allow you to get creative on your clients’ skin and leave them with a piece of stylish body artwork.
But it doesn’t end with the art – you’ll have to contend with the colourful array of characters that enter your studio looking for their own personalised tattoos. The more creative and accurate designs you draw the more your reputation will grow, until rival tattoo artists will challenge you to prove your artistry. Once you’ve defeated them you’ll be able to see their strengths and build your own until you just may be the best tattoo artist around.
Blast into action with your favourite blue hedgehog in the SEGA Game Gear classic Sonic Blast™, coming to the Nintendo eShop. Playing as the legendary Sonic, or as his sturdy friend and rival Knuckles, it’s your job to retrieve the stolen Chaos Emeralds from the evil genius Robotnik. You must overcome a maze of traps, devilish robots and intimidating scenery, before taking on the mighty Robotnik. To do this, you’ll need all the new moves and special power-ups at your disposal.
And if you haven’t had enough action, take a stand with the deadly female samurai, Akane, as she battles overwhelming odds to find her missing brother in the visually stunning Samurai Sword Destiny TM. Danger dogs Akane every step of the way in this dangerous quest, where she must battle fearsome foes, combat deadly ambushes and invade the rooftops of enemy castles.
