Evasive Space 'Mission' trailer
It's time again for Nintendo's weekly update to the Wii Shop Channel, and this week brings a classic side-scrolling shooter with a new action title. The retro offering is Life Force from Konami, a Gradius spin-off originally released in 1988. The usual tropes of shooters are present, including Gradius' classic power-ups. It will cost you 500 Wii Points ($5 USD). Evasive Space is a game in the realm of dual-stick shooters, except that it focuses on dodging enemies rather than fighting against them. The game supports up to 4 players, contains 20 stages, and costs 1000 Wii Points ($10). Check out the video for Evasive Space (above) or our preview to find out more about the title.
