G. G. Series: Wonder Land full playthrough.

A few points about this Alice in Wonderland-themed budget shoot’em up game that released yesterday on Japan’s DSiWare service:

  • You can complete the game — all three stages — in under eight minutes. It’s short, but what do you expect for 200 Points?
  • I actually really like some of the music!
  • That is the worst and most boring version of the Cheshire Cat I’ve ever seen. The other two stages bosses, the Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts, are thankfully more interesting.
  • Suzak, the developer behind this and the other DSiWare shoot’em up that released this week, Z. One, is also working on Umihara Kawase for DS. The studio’s previous releases include the F-Zero GBA games, Wario: Master of Disguise, and the under-appreciated Boing! Docomodake DS.

Buy: U.S. Nintendo DSi (White, Pink, Black and Blue)

Import: Japanese Nintendo DSi (White, Black, Pink, Red, Lime Green, Metallic Blue)

Bomberman as a Laputa: Castle in the Sky robot, by Sakkan (click the image for a larger version).

This tribute to Miyazaki and Hudson introduces the first story in a busy list of Japanese DSiWare news — Itsudemo Bomberman, or Bomberman Anytime, will hit Japan’s DSiWare service this October for 500 Nintendo points, according to Famitsu. Hudson hinted this new edition a month ago, so everyone saw it coming. The real mystery is will it have dinosaurs and/or kangaroos?

Just two weeks after Ketsui DS developer Arika released a new bullet hell game for DSiWare, Genterprise has revealed two shoot’em ups for its budget (200 points) G.G. series: Z.ONE, a horizontal-scrolling SHMUP featuring a Pod that fires in eight directions; and Wonder Land, a vertical-scroller themed after Alice in Wonderland.

Those two will hit Japan next week, as will Saikyoo Silver Star Go from Silver Star Japan (essentially Go), and a very strange card/board game from Nintendo titled Asoberu Ehon Mind Ten, both priced at 500 points.

Finally, Dragon Quest Wars appeared on the ESRB site, indicating a U.S. release for the simple strategy game.
