WiiWare is getting Party Fun Pirate, a game that in all honestly looks kinda lame. I’m not trying to be a Negative Nancy or anything, but this game just doesn’t sound fun. Players take turns putting sword into a barrel, which is holding your captain, until someone gets it in the wrong hole and El Capitan goes flying, I’m assuming this is from him being stabbed. You can also substitute your Mii’s for your captain which, according to Nintendo, provides some real laughs. Party Fun Pirate can be played by up to 4 players and is available now for 500 points.

Virtual Console is being thrust into dangerous territory with, “Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure”. Ok, that may be an overly dramatic introduction but, after Pirate Fun, I thought it was necessary. I was always a fan of the Pitfall series. It reminded me of the Indiana Jones flicks. This was the one where Harry Jr. had to go and rescue is dad from Zakeula, the Lord of Evil. You cannot make this stuff up. The Sega Genesis title is a 1 player only game and will cost you 800 points.

Remember the telephone game? How about Eat Poop You Cat? Can’t say I’m all that familiar with the latter, but Mixed Messages is an upcoming DSi Ware game that is essentially telephone on paper (which is also known as Eat Poop You Cat.) Thankfully, it has nothing to do with poop or cats–not unless you want it to be. The first player jots down a complete sentence (anything you want, so go nuts) and it’s up to the next player to illustrate what the sentence represents. The following player will then write a sentence based on the picture and so on. When there’s an even number of players, the program will generate its own sentence. See below for an example.
