SouthPeak Interactive Corporation have announced that its unique NintendoDS Shoot-'Em-Up Big Bang Mini will be available across Europe today. What's more to commemorate the release, developer Arkedo Studio is officially releasing the game's award-winning soundtrack for everyone to enjoy.
SouthPeak Games has announced that a demo of Arkedo Studio's Big Bang Mini for NintendoDS is now available as a free download via the Nintendo Channel on Wii. The explosive demo gives players a first taste of the unique Shoot-'Em-Up before it launches in Europe.
411mania gives a rundown on this week's game releases. Highlights include Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica, Star Ocean: Second Evolution, Commander in Chief, Big Bang Mini, The Excitement of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Ultimate Shooting Collection. Ar tonelico II Overall, the better-than-average story, unique battle system, and all the little things that you can do in the game help to make this a worthy purchase for those of you who like JRPGs and do not mind buying PS2 games this late in the system's life. Star Ocean: Second Evolution As far as changes go, you can expect new playable characters, updated artwork, cut scenes, and voice work, as well as new dialog. Commander in Chief While I am apprehensive about juggling so many issues at once, I was sold on the idea that I can 'determine the course of world events by invading a neutral country, toppling an unfriendly regime, or plotting assassinations' and then face the 'economic, political, and military consequences.' Big Bang Mini Obviously, maneuvering around enemy fire, debris, or anything else that's moving about is done with the stylus. To keep the controls completely on the touch screen, the game requires you to flick the stylus toward the top screen to launch attacks. Making it through the game requires you to figure out when to attack and when to move your ship to safety. Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekidou The main game plays simply enough - all you have to do is watch the bar at the bottom of the screen and wave the Wii remote as instructed. Ultimate Shooting Collection Despite its shovelware-looking cover and shovelware-sounding name, the three games that are included might actually be worth more than the shovelware-price, at least if you are a shmup fan.
Make sure you stop by the Nintendo Channel on your Wii for a downloadable demo of Big Bang Mini. You'll get a better understanding of the unique shooter game, while having some fun with it. SouthPeak Games tells us what's inside the demo, as well as how to get it: The demo of Big Bang Mini includes levels from three of the game's worlds – Hong Kong, Aurora and Luxor – giving players a glimpse of this massive action title. The full retail version will has 9 uniquely themed worlds, over 90 challenging levels of play, epic boss battles, and 7 modes that will do everything from literally waking them up to giving them hours of endless challenges.

SouthPeak Games has announced that Arkedo Studio is developing Big Bang Mini, a fireworks-based shooter in which the main objective is to use the stylus to create fireworks in order to deal with waves of enemies that loom overhead. Miss and you'll be forced to tackle another challenge - avoiding falling sparks created by your missed explosions. The end of each level comes with a unique opportunity for would-be fireworks designers to make the 'Final Bouquet' - a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that will proclaim your victory.
