• Magic Markers, Misnamed Final Fantasy on Nintendo Downloads

   

   

  

   

  The puzzle-platformer Max & the Magic Marker headlines this week's downloadable titles. The 1,000 point ($10) title involves finding your way through stages by drawing to overcome obstacles and enemies. The week's only other WiiWare offering is Dracula - Undead Awakening for 1,000 points. The top-down undead shooter was a Mini for the PSP Go, and has now been ported. More on that in a moment. The Virtual Console game this week is Final Fantasy II. Note that this isn't the Famicom sequel, but rather Final Fantasy IV for Super NES, which was brought to the U.S. as Final Fantasy II. It's available for 800 point ($8).

  DSiWare this week starts off with Dracula - Undead Awakening, which you may remember from five sentences ago. The game is available on both services this week, though on the DSi it's only 500 points ($5) to match the PSP version. Elemental Masters is a strategy role-playing title, with multiplayer support, for 800 points ($8). Flips: The Bubonic Builders is another interactive reading book, the sequel to last week's Flips book, for 500 points ($5). Finally, 4 Travellers - Play Spanish is a Spanish vocab-building game for 800 points ($8).
