Big Bang Mini

Friday, January 30th – SouthPeak Games is pleased to announce that a demo of Arkedo Studio’s Big Bang Mini for Nintendo DS™ 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.

The demo of Big Bang Mini includes a selection of levels from three of the game’s worlds, including Hong Kong, Aurora and Luxor. These are just a handful of the full version’s nine uniquely themed locations, which see players travelling all over the globe blasting waves of enemies using spectacular firework displays. Featuring 90 challenging levels of play, tough boss battles and seven different modes, Big Bang Mini is the perfect game for Nintendo DS owners looking for their next action fix.

Developer Arkedo Studio has created a fast-paced firework-flinging title that gives everyone a chance to create their own firework displays. Although it may start off simple, the difficulty soon ramps up, making it one of the most compelling and challenging shooters on Nintendo DS.

So, what are you waiting for? Downloading the demo couldn’t be simpler. First make sure that on your Wii console you are opted in to send data to Nintendo and then select the demo from the Big Bang Mini information page on the Nintendo Channel. Instructions on Wii will then tell you to turn on your Nintendo DS and select ‘Download Play’ from the system menu.
