European Nintendo downloads: Blaster Master, Zombie Panic in Wonderland, Game & Watch

This week's releases largely belong to DSiWare, at least in terms of volume. Three Game & Watch simulators are joined by a downloadable version of The Price is Right, the surprise hit Faceez and Alphabounce, a Breakout clone with ... RPG elements?

But in terms of quality, the Wii has the advantage, with both the NES version of Blaster Master and Akaoni Studio's WiiWare shooting game Zombie Panic in Wonderland, which combines fairy tale characters and firing guns at zombies. The complete list of releases for the week follows:

Blaster Master (NES, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
Zombie Panic in Wonderland (WiiWare, 1-2 players, 1000 Wii Points)
Learning with the PooYoos - Episode 2 (WiiWare, 1 player, 500 Wii Points)
Game & Watch: Helmet (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
Game & Watch: Manhole (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
Game & Watch: Vermin (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
Faceez (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
The Price is Right (DSiWare, 1-4 players, 800 DSi Points)
Alphabounce (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)

If I'd known that Zombie Panic was a strict shooting gallery I probably would have held off immediate purchase. There's no forward movement like, say, Panzer Dragoon or Space Harrier. And that's a shame, in a way, because even though your character can move left and right, just like Sin and Punishment, everything still seems rather static.

Having said that, judging from the three stages I've played so far, the game is enjoyable; parts of the environment are destructible and the game is really pretty.

PS: the game is 1000 points. I'd say it's worth it, if you like this sort of thing.
